markable events on yesterdays grid
irons is such that it is practically i'm
possible to pick the real leaders at this
stage. On the basis of Harvard's s

Harvard would seem to have first
choice.
Carlisle, which has held Pennsyl-

day, the Blue being lucky to escape
with a 10 to 10 tie. Brown, which
found the Crimson defence impreg-
nable when a touchdown was near and
scored only through a safety crossed
Yale's goal line twice and had another
touchdown apparently within grasp
when holding in the line spoiled the
chance. With Dartmouth, which
showed decisive superiority over
Princeton in its 10 to 6 victory in New
York, Harvard has only Williams

posed of Williams 10 to and the

test.

Harvard's great superiority. however,

Harvard proved fully as fast and her
open game was more effective. Glen
Warner. Carlisles coach, said after
the game that Harvard's line plays
were the strongest he has seen this
year and that the Crimson was fully
as strong as the University of Penn

ed of practically inexperienced men,

injuries and Fish being the only
veterans.
That Dartmouth's development was
well planned was proved by the
Green's win over Princeton, the sec
onds of the four games between these
two institutions. Dartmouth. with the
exception of Pishon. the little quarter
back. has practically the same team
that last year overwhelmed Harvard.
These two elevens met next Saturday

realize her ambition to rank among
