Princeton Clashes With Cor
nell and Penn Meets
Carlisle Indians.

With Princeton and Cornell clashins
at ithaca and Pennsylvania and the
Carlisle Indians meeting at Philadel-
phia. followers of football will. have an
opportunity this afternoon of estl-
mating the paying abilities of three OF
the big Eastern college cams. In each
contest speed and tricks will play an
important part, and physical strength
will be of a secondary consideration
The Carlisle Indians will prove a harder
proposition than did Brown last Satur-
day. when the Quakers won by the
score of Ito. The Indians will face
Pennsylvania with the prestige of a
victory last year. This fact also ran
kles In the minds of the red and blue
players, and as as a result an interest,"
ing contest is certain to be the outcome.
Princeton will be required to be at its
best to defeat Cornell, despite the ~latter's
defeat by the Penn State eleven last Sat
urday. Since the advent of Bill Edwards
the Tiger line has braced up, and has
been doing much better during the past
week The backtieId has all along proved
itself one Of the fastest that any college
can boast of this season, but without an
almost equally fast line their work VIII
be badly hampered. Princeton has in no
way been influenced by Cornelrs defeat,
and the preliminary work was in no way
ahated. Every man on the Princeton line
has been worked with a rush and admon-
ished not to hold the Ithacans cheaply.
The Cornell team has not been behind
its opponent in the matter of improve
ment. The coaches have been taking the
utmost care of the men, as they did not
care to take any chances of injuring any
of the best players. The return Of Gard
ner TO his old position at quarterback
has materially improved the team. and.
while ii is generally expected that Prince
ton will win, victory will not be without
a hard struggle.
In preparation for today's game Penn
sylvania has been put through the hardest
kind of work during the past week, the
scrub and freshmen teams being lined up
with all the Indians formations. The CEN
tire of the Quaker line is giving the coaches
a deal of worry. Dwyer is not doing as
well as he ought to, and Draper has been
mentioned prominently for the position,
with Rookie filling Diapers place at guard.
The latter weighs twenty-five pounds more
than Dwyer and is faster and stronger.
Dryer win play his regular position to-
day. His permanent retention of the posi-
ton VIII depend upon the manner in which
he performs against the Indians. The
question OF Reagan's playing is an open
one. His knee is bad. but it is probable
that he will be fit to compete against the
Indians at least during the first half. Cap
tain Folwell is not entirely recovered from
the injury to his hip and Hallenbeck's
damaged nose is still causing him consider
able bother. There has been a marked
Improvement in the work of the team this
week and the eoaches are more encour-
aged with the outlook.
The Indians have not been pushed hard
by Coaeh Warner. He has reserved his
best players for The game today. The red
and blue players headed of Mayhem. the
crack Brown half-back, and they have
been instructed TO pay particular attention
to Mount Pleasant and Hauser. who will
prove very dangerous unless they can be
downed before they get into their stride.
The other two leading Eastern teams
are net called upon to face hard oppo-
nents. Yale tackles Villa Nova and Har-
ward plays the Springfield Training School.
Both teams should be able TO score de-
cisive victories, and the only interest that
can lie attached in a general way to the
contest is the opportunity afforded 10
make comparisons with scores tailed
earlier IN the season by other leading teams
against these same minor college elevens.
