Many football battles between worthy opponents
are scheduled for this afternoon. Every member
that should be able to put up good fight and
It is quite within the realm Of possibility, IL not
probability, that at least two will go down in de-
Perhaps the two most important games as
Yale and Brown and Harvard and the Car
Isle Indians. Only slightly behind these two in
importance and of equal interest are the games
between Cornell and West Point and the Cniyer-
sty of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania State. the
concueror of Cornell The Navy eleven will face
the heavy Swarthmore team and should win in a
hard fought game. Princetown meets Amherst
and should have the easiest time of all OF the
leading elevens although the New FngIanders are
playing a good game this year.
The fsle-BrOwn game will be watched with
great interest, ii is Yae's last try-out before
the Princeton game in New Haven next Saturday.
Yale will have 10 play good football to win from
Brown. team that last Saturday lost to Harvard
by score OF TO s. but gained more ground than
the Crimson and by many critics thought TO
have deserved the victory. Princeton and Har-
ward coaches will be hand to follow the Blues
play, 10 watch her attack, TO study her defence
Yale should beat Brown. but it will be no easy
victory and 1t should be Of the best games
of the season to watch.
Harvard will be put to the test in her game witt,
the Indians The latter left their wigwams at
Carlisle with all their paint on and with fire
in their eyes. Revenge for the Princeton game :"
is their war cry and there is likely to be one Of
the fercest games OF the season at Cambridge this
afternoon and the Indians are counting on a VIC
tory Harvard is the only of the leading teams
that has won all her games this year The Grim
son eleven has done nothing wonderful but seems
always 70 have tust enough power in reserve TO de-
feat each adversary. Harvard had beaten the NAVY
6 10 O. and taken Brown into camp to 8 and she
counts on scalpng the Indians. but by no Prince
