M|DWEEK GAMES
ON THE GR|D|RON
Princeton and QuakerS Have
Hard Contests Ahead
of Them. /

The Villanova team. which cannot be
accused of looking for soft spots on its
schedule. will meet the Tigers at Prince
ton today. and the Gettysburg eleven will
play the University Of Pennsylvania.
Those are the two most important games
on today's short schedule. The Navy.
which goes in for lengthy list of games.
is due to take on the Maryland Aggies.
while up in Vermont there will be battle
that ought to be worth seeing. Vermont
VS.. the Massachusetts Aggies.
Villanova has played the Indians and
Pennsylvania so far this year, and there
fore won't be inexperienced in meeting a
formidable opponent when she lines up in
front of the Tigers. Villanova was beaten
by the Indians 10 to q, and by Pennsyl-
vania, II to O. thus showing that she can
make strong teams hustle to win. Villa
nova crossed the Princeton goal line last
year, the first time 1t was done. but for
her five points the Jerseymen amassed a
total of fOrty-five. No such Princeton
total as that is expected this time. I'M
less the Tigers make tremendous brace
within a week. Fred Crolius, the Vii
lanova coach. is said to have some new
plays to spring on Princeton. Plays that
are actually new come seldom that
foot ball followers have to be shown. II
the Tigers have any new play it Is a
pretty safe assertion that they will defer
the time for disclosing them until later
in the season.
The Gettysburg team has been in only
one game. but in that one defeated Buck
nell. 6 to ). Bucknell the week before los,
to Pennsylvania, IL to o. On these fig
ures Gettysburg is hopeful of giving as
good an account of herself today as Buck
nell did against the Quakers. The Brown
freshmen will have a chance to compare
their strength with the Yale freshmen.
The former play Andover today, which
team was beaten by the Yale youngsters
; to O, last Saturday. The Exeter-Cush-
ing score will be watched with interest
because Gushing has met AndOver. the
latter winning, i to O. The schedule fol-
lows:

Annapolis Maryland Aggies. at Annapolis.
Vermont VS.. Massachusetts Aggies, at Burling-

straight and then looked cautiously
around for material for a good SUBJ
