YALE HAS EASY GAME

With the football season advancing
the tests OF team material become
more severe. The games Saturday are
naturally of increased interest, espe-
cially among the big Northern colleges
OF most importance will be the an
nnal clash between Princeton and
Dartmouth at Princeton. Neither OF
these two teams have had a thorough
trying ont by strong opponents and
the result will shed much light on
the real abilities Of the two. Prince
ton has been galloping along without
serious opposition during the early
season. running up the big scores
against weak teams, until last week
the Tigers overwhelmed Syracuse by
81 points. Was Syracuse pitiably
weak, er the Tigers extra good That
is a question that Dartmouth is likely
to answer on Saturday.

cuse and could run up only II points
OF course. Yale was not as far ad-
Nanead IN Princeton in her season
deveIcpment--the whole Blue aggre-
CATION stilI being in the formative pc
riod. II is possible that Syracuse was
not in as good condition as when she
met the Ellis. Dartmouth won from
Williams by u points. Harvard having
won from the same team a week be-
fore by &c TO 5 Scores would Indicate
that Dartmouth and Harvard are about

Princeton are concerned. they hafe
