Princeton, Yale and Har-

Contests.

With the principal struggles of the
1911 football season yet to be played in
the east, local alumni are taking a keen
interest in the situation. for the games
of Nov IL and Nov. Is will go a long
way in determining the eastern title
holder.
Harvard. beaten by Princeton last
Saturday, will meet the Carlisle Indians
al Cambridge. and the Crimson will
have to play football all the time to
avoid a scalpinE The redskins have
played good football all season, while
Harvard up to the time it met Prince
ton had played the most advanced brand
of the gridiron game.
Local Harvard men contend that Sat
urdays game with old Nassau should
have resulted in tie. To the average
follower of the game it seemed as If
Harvard held Princeton too cheaply and
the latter took advantage of suchN a
condition. 1T also appeared as If Har-
ward was being pointed for Yale and
that perhaps many plays had been
saved for OLD Eli. Such conditions
never should occur in big games A
team should be allowed to play all the
football it knows. especially in a game
of the Harvard Princeton type, for
Princeton is always a formidable oppo-
nent
