indication three big teams are very
evenly matched. Princeton is doing as

Yale always is formidable. and is in
the game till the call Of time. IN many
respects Old Eli has the strongest team
OF the three. but whether on the whole
the Blue is better than Harvard and
Princeton is a question time must solve.

NEW YORK. Oct. 31.-Now for Packy

seems the logical fight since the de-

best lightweights in the land, but as
yet nothing has been put on paper
one report has IL the two are to buckle
