BIG GAMES TODAY
Yale and Princeton Clash in
Football Struggle.
Harvard Plays Dartmouth and
Penn Faces Michigan.
X. u. VS.. OKLAHOMA.
Minnesota Wisconsin Game I'm
pOrtant in West.
Chicago Plays Northwestern on
Home Grounds.

New York, Nov. 12.-Fina1 stages of
the football season were entered to-
day with the playing of the Yale
princeton game at Princeton. Not
withstanding the apparent marked su-
periority of the Princetonians over the
sons of Eli, the contest between the
two elevens retained all the prestige
accruing to ii in the years past, the
sporting interests being accentuated, if
anything, by the possibility that Yale
with her well known propensity to
come back" at the close of a season
might have surprise in store for the
Tigers
Harvard vs. Dartmouth at Cam
bridge was the other big game in the
East VS.. East series, with prospects ex-
cellent for an exciting struggle. I'm
portant inter-sectfonal games were the
PennsyIvania-M Michigan game at PhiIa-
delphia and the Cornen-Chicago con-
test at Ithaca. Amherst against Will
Jams was a meeting of interest in New
England territory. Another in the
same district was Brown VS.. Vermont
at Providence. There is interest up
the state in the Syracuse-Colgate meet
ing at Syracuse.
The Army was expected to have
things comparatively easy with Villa
Nova at West Point, while the Navy
was booked for what looked like a

dams at Annapolis.
Cambridge, Nov. 12.-There were
$4,000 football enthusiasts at Soldier
field to see what was generally be-
lieved to be the last gridiron struggle
between Harvard and Dartmouth for
several years. These institutions have
been playing annual contests since
1897, but it is thought that next year
Dartmouth will be dropped from the
Crimson schedule and Princeton sub
stituted. The game was the last i'm
pOrtant one of the season at the Sta
dunn. Harvard took the field a 10 to

LOOKING BETTER
latest Crop Reports Indicate Condi-
tons Greatly Improved

Mlschell-Latest crop reports from
eleven counties in the central part Of
the state, and given out through the
Investigations of bankers in the coun-
Ties, indicate that the tuation IS
much better than was anticipated
earlier in the season. Reports were
received from Aurora Brule, Dawson,
Douglas, Hanson, Hutchinson, Jer-
aul, Lyman. McCook, Minner and
Sanborn.
The harvest has been completed in
practically all of these counties and
the rains which have come in the past
two weeks have materially increased
the proportion of yield on wheat and
corn, the latter grain having had the
benefit OF the greater amount of rain
fall in the past ten days when it was
of little benefit to the wheat.
The yield of wheat will fall little
below the average of last year, al
though the higher price will yield the
farmer perhaps a heavier income from
that grain alone The oats crop shows
a greater falling off than wheat
In Aurora, Brule, Douglas, Sanborn,
McCook and Miner counties the wheat
crop was expected to turn out an aver
age crop, running from Is to IS per
cent Of the yield of 1909, while in
Hutchinson it was expected to make
yield of 125 of the 1909 crop. Lyman
and Jerauld counties reported the
wheat very thin, and ranging from 50
70 81 l,{4
two counties state that the corn is
not quite so far advanced as in 1909,
but with rains at the present time it
will show a big increase.
Throughout this section in Aurora,
Brule, Dawson, Douglas Hanson,
Hutchinson, Miner and Sanborn the
corn crop is excellent as a general
proposition, not one of the counties
reporting anything particularly back
ward on the crop. In practically all
of the counties the ears have COM
menced to form, and they indicate a
good development of the ear even at
this period. Notwithstanding the fact
that the seed in the spring was sup
| posedly poor the crop throughout this
section shows that it has developed
much better than was anticipated. 1t
is the general opinion gathered from
nine OF the eleven counties that the
corn crop is going to be better than
| that of 1909
