TODAY MAY ELIMINATE
SEVERAL BIG TEAMS
FROM COLLEGE RACE
Yale-BroWn and Harvard Carlisle Contests Attract
ing Most Attenton-Hot SkirmiSh Promised
Between West Point and Cornell

Many football battles between worthy
opponents are scheduled for this after
noon.
Every member Of the sO-called big
Five meets an opponent that should be
able TO put up good fight, and II is
quite within the realm of possibility, If
not probability, that at least two will
go down in defeat.
Perhaps the two most important
games, as throwing some light on strug-
giles 10 come. are between Yale and
Brown and Harvard and the Carlisle
Indiars. Only slightly behind these two
In Importance and of equal interest are
the games between Cornell and West
Point and the University of Pennsyl-
vania and Pennsylvania State. the con-
queTor OF Cornell The Navy eleven Will
face the heavy SwarthmOre team and
should win in q hard fought game.
Princeton. meets Amherst and should
have the easiest time Of all OF the lead
ing elevens. although the New Eng
landers are playing a good game this
year.
The Yale-Brown game will be watch
ed with great interest, as 1t Is Yale's
last try-out before the Princeton game
in New Haven next Saturday.
Chance for Comparison.
Yale viii have to play good football
to win from Brown. a team that last
Saturday lost 10 Harvard by a score Of
6 10 :, but gained more ground than
the Crimson and by many critics was
thought 10 have deserved the victory.
E Princeton and Harvard coaches will be
on hand to follow the Blues play. to
watch her attack, TO study her defense,
Yale should beat Brown. but IL viii be
no easy victory. and it should be one
OF the best games Of the season 10
watch
Harvard viii be put TO the test in her
game with the Indians. The latter left
their wlgwams at Carlisle with all their
war paint on and with fire in their eyes.
&. Revenge for the Princeton game!" is
their war cry, and there is likely 10 be
one OF the deTCesL games OF the season
at Cambridge this afternoon, and the
Indians are counting on victory. Har-
vard is the only one OF the leading
teams that has won all her games this
year. The Crimson eleven has done
nothing wonderful, but seems always
10 have just enough power in reserve
70 defeat each adversary. Harvard had
beaten the Navy 20 0, and taken
Brown into camp to 3, and she counts
on scaiping the Indians, but by no
Princeton score.
First Meeting.
Football enthusiasts who go to West
Point today VIII see a battle royal II
is the first time that football elevens
representing Cornell and the Army have
ever met, and both are determined TO
win the initial contests. Cornell out
weighs the Army. but the soldiers are
famed for their lighting spirit, and will
play with their usual fire and dash.
Cornell feels that too much depends
upon the game not to exert every EFFORT
70 win Captain Cooke viii be re-
placed by Lynch at tackle, as he is suf-
fering from an injured hand. The Cor
nell squad spent last night at New
burg, and went up 10 West Point this
morning. Twelve hundred cornell Un-
dergraduates will be on the field 10
cheer their team.
Edwards Non-Committal.
Bill Edwards. the famous Princeton
guard, was asked what he thought Of
CornelTs chances. 7 wouldn't like TO
pick the winner" he said. ITO me It
seems that the game should be very
close and very hard fought"
Yost, the Michigan coach, Is expected
to be on Franklin Field to watch the
struggle, and Pennsylvania supporters
will breathe a sigh Of relief If their
team can defeat the team that beat Cor
nell.
Princeton meets the plucky Amherst
team, and il is thought she will take
things as easily as possible. Fear OF
entertaining is in the hearts of Prince
ton coaches. and no chances viii be
taken Of letting the men go stale.
