THREE NOT SCORED ON

are the only teams with championship
aspirations that have not been scored
upon this season. Yale, Pennsylvania
and Cornell have not only been scored

Princeton has escaped defeat, but two

Black.e In one Of these tie games Lee

Strange as 1t may seem the only points
scored on Yale this year were the six

urday. The game showed the cadets to
have a team that ranks high. But the
demonstration took place CT a field deep
with mud and in a downrour of rain.
Just how the teams would compare on
fast field is problemarical.
Under the conditions tn, Army team
was the superior. This superiority vas
shown especially In a comparison of the
playing OF the ends Of the two teams.
The cadet wing men were down the
field under punts faster than the Blue
players and their tackling was harder

cry failed to work as smoothly as 1t
otherwise might.
Howe's absence from the game was
probably due more to the fact that the

because Coach Nielsen did not want 70

a disastrous one by getting his eleven to
top form early and then not having 1t
at its best against Virginia, and conse-
quently take much greater chance OF

Johns College team does not seem to IN
dictate the strength that the team
seemed to have in its early games. Vir-
ginia, after winning three preliminary
games by good scores. went up against
Swarthmore and by all accounts really
for the Charlottesville eleven at that
time. but Saturdays game against the
Annapolis eleven places everything at
sea as far as having an accurate line on
the strength of the team goes. Six points
against a team not better than st. John $
in this fall should hardly raise the hopes
of the Orange and Blue for victory over
Georgetown.
ST. Johns has never failed to make a
good showing against Virginia, though.
anu it may not be that the games give
evidence of as much weakness on the
Iart of the latter as one might first sup
pose by merely taking into consideration
the score.
That Johns Hopkins could score a touch
down against the Maryland Aggtes only
on a fiuke play is evidence enough that
the Farmers have not been idle In i'm
proving their defense since their late
games. Johns Hopkins scored on the
Navy early in the season by clean foot
ball and that it could not thus register

for the work of Improvement that has

schools. should be content to win.

Base ball will no longer stand in the
way Of college foot ball. which has now
reached a most interesting point in the
season. The so-called preliminary games
have paved the way for the real strug
giles Of the gridlron. and they will come
along from now on thick and fast. BY
far the most important game Saturday
will be the meeting between Harvard and
Brown at Cambridge. The Providence
eleven has forced It's way into promi-
nent place in the last two or three years
and last season was ranked second only
to Harvard in this column, after going
through the season with a remarkably
good record, which included a one-sided
victory over Yale. One year ago Har-
ward defeated Brown by a score of Il to
o. but on the merits of the play the lat
ter did not suffer in comparison. In
truth. the Brown team showed the great
err offensive strength of the two In rush
ing. and was beaten by disastrous tumble
and by Graustein intercepting a forward
pass after the Crimson team had been
forced well down to its own goal line.
It is almost impossible at this time to
draw any comparisons between the two
elevens for the game Saturday. III any

LAST DAYS
Three Valuable Stakes Named
for Remainder of Meeting.
SEVEN RACES CARDED DAILY

Handicaps the Past Week-Nov-

SEVEN RACES CARDED DAILY

Laurel races have eight days more to
run. The last seven days will be under
the auspices OF the New York Jockey
Club. as the big state fair and most
successful horse show has been brought
to a close.
The racing has been most successful
and the attendance has been far beyond
expectations.
Seven out of the scheduled ten stakes
have been decided and the money has
meen well divided. The percentages of
first choice to land In front have been
above the usual average. and with all of
them came a good price.
The program book for the remaining
days of the meeting includes races for
all classes Of horses, from the cheapest
selling platter to the best of the stake
horses. There are three stakes named, all
as valuable as any at the meeting.
During the past six days $1,000 was
given away to the harness horses.
Twenty-six thousand dollars was divid-
ed among the thoroughbredsin stakes,
purses and handicaps, which Is the great
est amount ever given away in any one
week in the state OF Maryland There
has been a keen but friendly rivalry
among the riders. Phil Goldstein, Joe
Byrne and Forehand are doing the best OF
the saddle work.
Many new horses have been shipped to
the track, and there are still more TO
come with the closing OF Pimlico. There
have been but few small fields.
Seven races will be run every day fol-
the remainder of the meeting. Many nov
lty races are down now that the harness
events and the state fair have come tc
an end On leaving Laurel Manager
will attention Havana
where he will hold 100 or more days
racing this winter. He will leave at the
conclusion Of the meeting here to finish

Will Get Comparison.

The Colgate team will travel to New
Haven to take the field against Yale, and
the game will be more interesting. as
it will furnish a slight chance for COM
parison between Princeton and the Blue.
The Tigers defeated Colgate a week ago
last Saturday by score Of 81 to o. which
would indicate that Yale has rather

will serve as a medium for comparison
between Princeton and Harvard and Yale.

the Tigers. Yale beat Holy Cross by a
score of 26 to o September 30. week
later Harvard beat Holy Cross by a score
of to 0, which, by the way. did not
show altogether clearly the superiority OF
the Crimson. Princeton should win, but
the test will be a good one. Still another
chance for an interesting comparison
will come at Philadelphia. where Pennsyl-
vania will line up against Pennsylvania

Tigers, now they have their leader back,
will take decided brace.
The fact that the Army beat Yale and
that the Navy held Princeton to score
less tie may have considerable bearing on
the ultimate disposal of foot ball honors
for the year. The victor in the annual
Army Navy contest can lay merited
claims to the championship in the event
of Yale and Princeton beating Harvard.
Especially will this be true in the case of
the Army if the cadets beat the Navy
and Yale in turn beats Princeton and
Harvard.

Hudson last July. The veteran coach in
