Calendar.
TEAMS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE
Yale-Prlnceton =. and Dartmouth-Har
ward Two Most interesting
Contests

Nothing but the best appears on
the football program for today. Big
games are the order and when the
sun has gone down this afternoon the
football season for most of the east |
ern colleges will have closed. There
is the Yale-Princeton game at New
Haven at the head of the list with
the ard-Dartmouth game at Cam
bridge a close second for interest and
Amherst and Williams will renew
their time-honored series OF clashes.
Rich things adorn the slate.
Georgetown and Virginia will settle
the dispute about the championship
of the South, while Wisconsin and
Minnesota will strive for the honors
of the middle West. Intersectional
football will also be played. Cornell
at Chicago and Pennsylvania at Mich
igan.
After today there will be but little
left of the football season, the prin-
cipal games to come being the Har-
vard-Yale, Lafayette-Lehigh, army
navy, and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
games. This is the day. Should
Princeton beat the Ellis" many will
| bestow on it all the honors OF a
championship eleven, for the reason
that Princeton is now unbeaten and
| has put away Harvard and Dart
mouth. Yale must do more than beat
the Tigers" to earn the title. 1t
must subdue the crimson week lat
err The outcome of today's struggle
on Yale field offers choice subject
for expression OF opinion. Yale Ia
the favorite but even those who pick
Yale look for the Tigers" to put up
one of the best fights Princeton has
ever shown in New Haven. Yale has
been beaten once, that time by the
army. But Yale is a different team
today The Tigers" have been tied
twice but in those ties they really
put it all over their opponents. The
success OF the Tigers" in the past
two engagements-or rather the man
ner of the success-lends a trifie OF
encouragement probably to their SUP
porters.
Princeton is represented today by
one of the best elevens ever turned
out at Nassau, and II has one OF the
most capable men for captain In
Eddie" Hart, II ever had A shifty
and aggressive line, ends who have
shown themselves unusually fast ant
powerful backfeld represent the
orange and black. Individually, thC
team looks impressive. AS a mach
inc to put out of the way, Il SHOULD
prove hard one, and no eleven this
year has shown such a consistently
powerful defense.
Last week the blue did things thar
made IL look startling. II is not Sc
much that 1t outplayed Brown from
every turn, but that II showed sucl
capabilities all the time and looked
a vast amount better than IL was
playing. Yale showed speed, bril-
liant machine and an ability to dc
practically everything II tried and
meant to accomplish for results ant
not for practice merely. Yale Il
free from the injured list and this
fact is Of Importance to the ends.
Cambridge will be enjoying a game
that should be equally as interesting
as the New Haven contest. Harvard
, has in years past shown brilliant foo
ball in the Dartmouth game and the
1 followers Of the crimson look for
great deal OF satisfaction this after
noon. Dartmouth makes this gam,
its last one and its development hal
been shaped for the crimson. Their,
is a general feeling that Harvard viii
have to exert itself to the utmost {,
win and while II is the favorlte, few
expect anything but a close score.
Neither Amherst nor Williams
|, have done so very much this fall bu
/. one has not fallen much behind IN,
other. Both teams are groomed 70,
, this game and will show their bes
: today at Williamstown Extra coacl
es have been used In both camps ant
all tell of great Improvement. On,
, thing is certain and that is a clos,
game should result, though williami
J. appears to have the advantage. Tn,
:. Amherst-Williams game for true riv
airy, ranks with the best of then
in the intensity of spirit, IL not II
e volume.
