 A better idea could be had of just how strong the red men are this year if they played Harvard or Yale. Still the Indians have a, game on for next Saturday which is likely to test their scoring ability better than any pre- ceding game. They are to play the Army and owing to the effectiveness of the Army defence it is seldom that any opponent thriveS much in point making even if it beats the West Pointers.
