Big Five in Fear
 Of Next Saturday
Yale Expects Hard Game With Brown and Carlisle May
 Beat Harvard

continent will be hanging over some Big Five campus on Saturday night. Of course it will come in the form of football reverse, for that's the only disappointment at colleges these days. It's too early to worry about examin- ations
 Every member of the quintet-Yale. Princeton, Harvard, Cornell and Pennsylvania-has hard game for Saturday. In every case the outcome is in doubt. and beginning with today the coaches will drive the men through gruelling preparations. Yale meets Brown, the latter evidently fully recovered from the slump sus- tained at the time of the Harvard game. Down at Princeton the Orange and Black must face Dartmouth, al- ways troublesome. Harvard's lot is the Indians. stronger than they've been in years. Cornell will line up while aggressive Lafayette will des- cend on. the wabbling University of Pennsylvania.
 It's almost case of dropping these teams into hat and drawing the five winners.
 Lafayette will go down to Franklin Field with several good trick plays and a batch of forward passes, hop ing to give their star open-field men, Spiegeld and Marshall, a chance to get away for some long runs and a touchdown or two. Coach Newton has always been noted for his tricks and spectacular formations, and he is said to have several that have worked remarkably against the Laf- ayette scrub. He will try them against Pennsylvania. With three competent men-left end, Furry; right tackle, Wagonhurst, and centre, Ben son-in the line, and the two stars flanked by Capt. Danenhauer back of the line. the Lafayettes should be and trick plays. All the men are very fast and quick thinkers.
 Pennsylvania's coaches began drill- ing for offence yesterday afternoon. The varsity were kept hard at it for over an hour, trying play after play exhausting work. Capt. Mercer seems ed to be in the best of shape but even he could not gain consistently. The men will need a lot of drilling. They should also get some good in- reference working for wide and run ming plays to give such fast men as Marshall and Wagner a chance to get seem to have been forgotten at Frank lin Field
 Osie Lamson. Penn's All-America tackle of 1905, came 1000 miles from Minnesota to help the coaches on Franklin Field. Since he was grad uated in 1906 Lamson has been engag- ed in business in the West. Like Shevlin comes East to help Yale's coaches. so did Lamson finally take vacation in this form
 Other veterans are helping whip the team into shape on Franklin Field. They are Garnett, tackle on the '97 and '9s elevens; Jack Minds. ful1back rx, fhn co <oo vvn nd 3 hrnf Chester Minds; Ernie Cozens, last years captain and All-America cen tre, and George Brooke, one of Penn's s greatest punters. All of them fol- lowed the team through the signal practice and scrimmage and gave many valuable suggestions to the varsity players
 Fielding H. Xpst. who watched the Indians beat Pennsylvania. returned to Ann Arbor. bearing praise for the Red and Blue team. Said he:
 Michigan will have to take a won- derful brace to beat Cornell or Penn sylvania The Qaukers have a re- markable defence, much stronger than I had been led to believe. By the time they meet us they will be able to put up terrific fight.
 ''I expected Michigan to run away with Syracuse. The trouble was that they did not fight. A team that does
 
 failure. That lineup used against Syracuse will not do. I shall have to make radical changes if we are to win the three remaining games of our schedule
 Brown is practicing more carefully than ever before this season The 30- o defeat of Tufts was achieved over a team considerably lighter than the Rrunonians While the result was gratifying as showing fairly respec- table form, it could not be said that the team work was of the high char acter which will be required against Yale.
 There was an abundance of team play evident at times in Saturdays game, but unison of attack and de- fence was at other times lacking Sometimes the interference for Sprackling formed quickly on punts. and the Tufts tacklers were .bowled over like so many duckpins. At oth- CT periods, however. there were lapses into the slough of sluggishness and carelessness which was so apparent in the stadium during the Harvard game.
 It is this unevenness of play which has been the greatest trouble with this years eleven. The men at times show they have whirlwind speed and they play with the force and certain ty of a locomotive. Suddenly, when something is expected of them. they show reversal of form which is startling If they could go through three-quarters- of a game with the speed and harmony which they show ed in flashes in Saturdays game they ought to sweep their schedule.
