the first Of the big elevens to complete their
preliminary season and engage minor
teams OF real mettle. Tomorrow's games at
Annapolis between Princeton and the mid
dies and at Philadelphia between Pennsyi-

seriously troublesome to Tiger or Quaker,
yet both plan their work with the usual
preparation for a quasi-important game.

practice yesterday before going to An

pected to prove severe. especially as the
announcement comes from Worcester that
eight Of the Holy Cross stars have been
disqualified by the faculty. Neither are
the Amherst "Aggies' likely to worry Har-

Forbes, who were both hurt Wednesday,
and retired, played about five minutes.

second team and freshmen lining up against
each other. Quarter Back Dimes of the Sec
