GREAT GAMES TOMORROW

Cambridge Mass November l.-(spe- cial)-The final campaign for honors m the football world was launched last Saturday. and for one of the big four the result was a complete disaster. The foxy Redskins. who are always regarded as worthy opponents of any of the big teams. so' only defeated the Quakers- they rss Ncr them, and around them' and a helmed them with a 24 to 6 score gas one of the most disastrous games hat the Red and Blue have fig tred in for many a day. The cause Of it all seemed to be the lightning work of the Indian team and the bunting or Mt. Pleasant the Redslin left halfback. The Pennsylvania team was swept off its feet by the speed of it's opponents. who play the new game as if 1t had been devised especially for them.
 The Princeton-Cornell game. as was eX- pected. proved to be a hard-fought ar fair. even harder than the final score of IA to , shows Cornell by swift open play. scored the first touchdown, but failed to kick goal. Presently. on fum- ble. Princeton scored touchdown and went the Ithacans l point better by kicking goal. The Tigers got their sec osd touchdown by old-style work.
 Crimson Supporters Disappointed
 There is considerable disappointment felt in the camps of the Blue and the Crimson, for neither of these teams came up to expectations. Yale had a rather tough time getting two touchdoWns OH of plucky little Amherst, while the pest that Harvard could do was to avoid tie by making q score from blocked kick which Windel the Crimson's full back, picked up and turned into a touch- down by running about two-thirds Of the length of the field. This alone saved the Crimson from being tied for the game ended immediately after the next kick off. Everyone had expected the Army to give Harvard good game, for she has a habit of doing that. But that it would be as close as it turned out. no one thought of for the Crimson, besides hav- ing rattling good team this season, was in the pink of condition, while the West Pointers were crippled An interesting phase of this game was the fact that each team made only one first down on straight football during the entire game. This shows what the new game must
 
 teams get together: forward passes, quar- terback kicks and trick plays as long as these hold out; after that, intellectual straight football with tremendous amount of kicking.
 Interesting Games Tomorrow.
 There will be some more highly inter esting games this Saturday. Yale meets the Army boys. Harvard goes up agans Brown. Carlyle meets Syracuse, Prince ton takes on Dartmouth and Pennsy Nania strikes Lafayette. The game thai is attracting most attention is, of course that between Yale and West Point, fol 1t will throw some light on the relative strength of the two great rivals. the Crimson and the Blue It will be a hard matter for the cadets to mal<es any bet ter showing against Yale than they did against Harvard, but if they do. Grim son stock will be higher than 1t has been for several years
 Princeton should find no great trouble in defeating Dartmouth for the White Mountalneers seem to be weaker this year tn for a number of seasons past, especially in offense. So far this season they have scored only thirty-three points In six games, and have been tied in theil last two contests by comparatively small teams Ii may be well to remember however, that not an opponent has beer able to chalk up a point against them But the Tigers have stain on theil last years record put there by Dart mouth, and it is more than likely tha they will bend every energy to wipe i out.
 Harvard has no great fear of Brown
