MORE CLOSE GAMES
EXPECTED TODAY
Big Foot Ball Teams Have
Fairly Hard Contests
Scheduled.

The shifting OF the foot ball opponents
this Saturday points TO more close games
than usual. though not containing any
thing that promises to be OF the quality
OF q couple OF last Saturdays battles. In
short, the big teams mostly have fairly
hard games on. but none In which the
probabilities OF a reverse are as great a.
week ago Vanderbilt. one OF the
strongest of the southern foot ball
elevens, is coming to Yale. and here per
haps Is the most uncertain OF the promi-
nent engagements OF the day.
1t isn't that Yale is hopeless this year
by any means. The Ellis may be below
their standard now but pretty close to II
later on. The point is. they are going
against a university which has turned out
several pretty strong teams and which
averages up well year after year. Doubt
less the team has been pointed for Yale
with a view to making a killing north Of
Mason and Dixons line II possible. There
Is no way Of getting at Nanderoilts
strength, save that the team has made biz
scores in games this fall and hasn't been
scored on. II the southerners don't go up
against lot OF rapacious Ellis. tired OF
being slammed or beaten by teams that
as a rule are not I'm their class. then the
spirit OF Elihu will have lost some OF its
wonted determination.
games was expected today, but Brown
hasn't come up to expectations so far.
and unless the Brunonians have pulled
themselves together this week there isn't
much chance for them TO give the Grim
son a desperate rub. Maybe. however.
Brown has struck it's brace. The work at
Harvard this week hasn't been hard on
the whole. that Is. no especial preparation
has been made for Brown. Two or three
OF Harvard's best backs out 81 IL
with hurts. and IL Brown is on the up
grade there is a chance OF this being a
sitter game than IL promises to he.
The highpower Penn State team, which
has smothered such opponents as II has
had. will meet Pennsylvania. Nearly every
year Penn State worries the Quakers.
Since their excellent showing against
much concerned about today's game as
they would have been had IL come when
they were In the dumps. The Dartmouth
Williams game is another good number
on the program: The Navy Is slated to
meet Virginia Poly an institution which
has turned out strong elevens. and the
midshipmen look TO he in for a livelier
afternoon than their army friends, who
are scheduled to play Lehigh.
From the popular interest standpoint
the Princeton Carlisle game is the lead
ing one on the schedule. The Indians
started with their usual rush. but the
last time out met Syracuse and fell down
hard. They are capable. though. OF a bet
ter game than they put forth a week
ago. and X they can put their full strength
in the field they will go at the Tigers with
rs much zest as II they hadn't been beat
en-. They are always likely to produce
individual sensations, which sometimes
have q big bearing on the outcome of the
game They have not shown near the in
nate strength of the Tigers. and though
they should be at their best today they
will have to show better generalship than
they have In Princeton battles to put NAs-
sau in danger Of defeat.
