wheat which would bring the farmers an
average Of about 81 per bushcl reached

As many OF the modern cars contain

now coming forward, the estimate Of

BLUE Stronger
THAN CRIMSON

New Haven, Nov. 1l.-capt. Pryor OF
the Brown team was asked for a com
parison OF tho Yale and Harvard teams
after the game Saturday lie said: Com
parison, there is no comparison. II the
Yale team plays the game they did Sat
urday against Harvard they will beat
them as badly as they beat us.
Harvard has neither the versatility nor
the force of the Yale attack, and when
we played them they had only one play
with which they could gain. Yale has
strong backs. very strong backs, and In
"A running game are excellent. Yale also
has a fine offense and Harvard, on her
part, cannot Withstand them
Burr will outpunt Coy II the Yale
kicker was at his best Saturday Che was
not).
1--WE came down here thinking Coy was
a word-beater. but Burr's kicks travelled
further and had better direction. The
formation TO protect the kicker is also
good. We nearly got to him Saturday,
and Yale must change II. or she VIII
have some OF her punts blocked.
ION the defence i think that the hale
tackles play too far out. IL leaves too
large holes for the opponents attack, and
do not think that the plan OF dropping
the centre back two or three yards be-
hind the scrimmage line gives any ad-
vantage. But the game Yale played was
fine. No team could have withstooo
Yale's attack, and / can't see anything
to it but the Blue for the next two Sat
urdays"

YALE AND princeton
BANNER ATTRACTION

Boston. Nov ll.-With the end OF the
season In sight the attention of football
followers has turned TO the big games
of the next two weeks which will prac-
tically decide the supremacy OF 1907. and
to the minds Of many on the outcome of
the battle between Yale and Princeton
In New Haven next Saturday will depend
the premier honors of the year. Yale and
Michigan have yet TO be defeated, al
though Yale has been held to tie, a no
score game with West Point.
When Yale meets Princeton the finest
battle of the year should result, provid-
ing the teams have "a dry field and cool
weather, which will permit the fast. open
play OF which these teams are undoubt-
odly the leading eNponents. Both have
wonderful field generals in their quarter
backs, both back fields are fast and the
lines have been proved. Yale seems TO
have a slight advantage I'm her powerful
line, but this Is offset by the speed of the
Tigers
The only means OF comparing the teams
Is i'm the game which both have played
with villa Nova and Washington and
Jefferson. Princeton played the former
a. 10 5. while Yale rolled mp as many
points as the Orange and Black and pre-
vented Villa Nova from scoring, Against
Washington and jefferson, however. the
Tigess scored 40 points, and Yale could
gain but II.
ON the same day. between Pennsylvania
and Michigan. brings together the East
and West. Michigan 80 far this year
has shown but little OF the brllliance and
dash which characterized the teams Of
the Maize and Blue i'm former years, and
PENNSYLVANIA has suffered severe de-
feat at the hands of Carlisle.
The last important games OF the year
come the following week between Yale
and Harvard, Pennsylvania and 60 lell
and the Army and Navy. The general
feeling Is that. unless Harvard improves
wonderfully, or Yale slumps badly after
the hard game with Princeton, the Blue
can hardly fail TO be victorious. Penn
sylvanla has taken a wonderful brace af-
ter the dc feat by Carlisle, and hope has
been raised i'm tho hearts of her follow
crs that the team will be able 10 wrest
victory from both Michigan and Cornell.
Both the Army and Navy have tasted
defeat. but these old rivals may be de-
pended upon To put up the battle OF their
lives when they meet at Philadelphia.

HARVARD IN GLOOM

Cambridge, Mass. Nov 1.-THE decisive
defeat suffered at the hands of the Car
Isle football team was a stunning blow
to Harvard. Before the game IL was gem
orally expected that the game would be
a close one but none Of the undergradu-
ates believed that the team would be
beaten. There was a general feeling that
the ability OF the team TO play hard foot
ball, even when scored upon, and the good
luck which UP till Saturday must be ac-
knowledgcd has attended the Harvard
team. would result I'm a victory.
The undergraduates are preparing 10
back tho team up more Loyalty than ever,
but I'm spite of the statement of Coach
Warner OF the Indians that his team
would have been beaten by Harvard had
IL played no better than IL did against
Princeton. the undergraduates fully re-
alize the weaknesses of their team and
are greatly discouraged.
TheNlast hard practice OF the year will
probably be held this week at Cambridge.
The team will take IL easy the week OF
the Yale game Tuesday. Wednesday and
Thursday Of this week the team will be
driven as hard as possible.
The only player TO suffer serious injury
Saturday was Kennard, whose ankle was
broken. which will prevent his playing
again this season. Burr and Parker were
merely pretty badly battered and II was
considered wisest to take them out for
fear OF their being injured for the Yale
game. Lockwood and Bird are also I'm
good shape. IL the administrative board.
which meets this week, re-establishes
Wendell I'm good standing. Il will go far
toward strengthening the team.
