 In the east several games of importance will be pulled off today. Harvard meets the Princeton Tigers in what promises to be one of the most interesting fights of the season. Neither team has been de feated thus far, and both are members of the Rig Four from which the cham pions will be picked. Princeton will be outweighed by the Crimson, but the Ti- gers possess very diversified attack, and they are exceedingly fast and aggressive. They will have, however, considerable trouble in stopping the terrific plunges of Wendell and his cohorts in the HarYard bacl<field. At present the Tigers are fa- vorites to win

 Game Biggest Card in East. Yale-Colgate Bout Off

With todays football battles, the crisis of the present season is reached; from now on the season wanes with only few battles of championship importance until the climax is reached with the Thanks giving struggles. The process of elimi- nation by which the football champion ship all over the country is ascertained, has narrowed down the possible contend CTS to the point where unbeaten machines grapple for survival in the race. With today's eliminations, championship con tenders will be few and far between. With few exceptions. beaten teams will heneeforth prey upon beaten teams in fight for respectable standings.
 Today's games are crucial. Those teams which thus far have shown their superiority in their respective classes and sections meet for further elimination, and the battles should be brilliant ones.
