Harvard Eleven Faces a Hard
Task, as Do Most Of the
Other Teams.
COACHES FLOCK TO YALE
George Foster Sanford Among
Those Who Respond to Call
for Help in Building Up
a Strong Line.

Most Of the leading football elevens
have only four more games left on their
schedules, while Princeton ard Dartmouth
have only three each. The preliminary
season so called, IL now over, so that
the games to come will be full OF interest.
Harvard, perhaps, has the hardest row to
hoe as the Crimson must face Princeton,
Vanderbilt, Dartmouth and Yale on sue
ceeding Saturdays. Vanderbilt may have
enjoyed easy picking so far this season,
but the fact remains that the eleven
from Nashville. Tenn has run up the
huge total of 800 points in five games,
which indicates much power, even IL the
opposition has not been of the strongest.
II Harvard wins these four games the
right and title TO the so-called champion
ship will be unquestioned.
Engagements for some Of the other
teams may be summarized as follows:
Yale will meet Colgate, Brown. Princeton
and Harvard, in the order named; Prince
ton will face Harvard, New York Uni
versity and Yale; Dartmouth will take
the field against Amherst, Cornell and
Harvard: Pennsylvania will do battle
with Pennsylvania State, Michigan, the
Carlisle Indians and Cornell; Brown viii
tackle Vermont, Yale, Lafayette, Nor
Tich and Carlisle, the last named game
coming on Thanksgiving Day, while Cor
nell hopes to redeem the poor showing OF

meet any present emergency.
It Is stated at the state department
that this action is taken wholly on the
ground that serious disturbance is
indicated in the easternmost province
Of the island. where there are import
ant American interests. Several of
these interests have complained that
their property has been seized and
that the lives Of their employees are
endangered. The Cuban gunboat Cuba
left Havana for Guantanamo with 500

sent other forces by train to Oriente

have been destroying property and

Officials here believe that the Gu.

strength Of the present insurrectionary
movement, though official reports say
the government shortly will not be in
