many FOOT BALL
BATTLES TODAY
Big Four Teams Should Have
Easy Time Defeating
Their Opponents.

Another round of the so-called practice
games for the big college foot ball elevens
will be played today. 1t will be the second
step for most of them along the various
roads to the championship goal.
Oftentimes in. the last few years these
practices" have proven disastrous in
| asmuch as they have resulted in black
mark on an otherwise brilliant record but
the ones scheduled for this afternoon do
not forebode much If any trouble for the
teams of old Eli, John Harvard. the Tiger
and Father Penn. All Of them will play
on their own grounds and the plans of all
the coaches are to inject into the candidates
the first attempt at speed. In this and at
other points of the game Yale appears to
have the hardest time ahead of her.
At Yale Field the eleven warriors from
Syracuse, who defeated Rochester 80 to 0
week ago, have designs upon the bull
dog The up-staters have no conceited idea
that they are going to win, but they are
q fast lot, well drilled In the tricks Of the
new rules, and their best qualification Is
the fact that they one and all are going
into the game to hold Yale and score IL
they can.
Harvard will take on Maine at Soldiers
Field. The far down casters are an un-
known quantity. Last years Crimson team,
Princeton will line up against Washing
ton and Jefferson in the Tigers lair, and
the North Carolina eleven has journeyed
to Philadelphia to meet Pennsylvania. The
Quaker advisors are considering giving the
Jap. Takaki a trial at end. He has shown
remarkable agility and alertness charac-
by being light Draper. the big tackle. is
also ready to play and will be big help
to the team.

PHILADELPHIA. October 6.-Hard luck
pursues the red and blue foot ball team.
AS If their cup of woe were not full enough.
the board of foot ball coaches at the uni
yersity learned this afternoon that Takaki.
the feet-footed Japanese end, will be un-
able to play foot ball for some time, II
