SPORTING NOTES.

One week from to-day football viii be
shelved for another year by the higher
court of athletics in order that the win
ter sports may be afforded with ample
opportunity to gain prominence before
the Xmas holidays. To-day interest in
several important games has reached a
high pitch and all over the country low
ers OF athletics will be eagerly await
arding the returns. Dartmouth meets
Harvard at Cambridge, Mass, to-day and
the latter team is the favorite. Dart
mouth has greatly improved in the last
two weeks, but will have to depend
wholly for their gains on the line. AT
Princeton the outcome of the Yale game
cannot be accurately determined as the
New Haven school is yet unknown
quantity, but slight odds favor Prince
ton. At Michigan the western college
should win from Cornell. Carlisle and
Penn meet to-day for their annual strug
gle and depending upon their past record
should handily defeat the Quakers.
Tufts has hopes OF standing before the
army attack at West Point to-day, al
though the army is conceded victory. For
the past few years Trinity has defeated
Wesleyan in the annual game, but this
year Wesleyan has been conceded the
victory.
The Minnesota Wisconsin combat out
west has witnessed a sale of tickets for
its game unprecedented in the years
these two schools have clashed. All the
tickets for the game were sold by the
middle of the week. Never before the |
final day of the game have all the tick |
cts been parted with.
For matter of seven seasons Harvard |
has not scored touchdown against |
Yale. The last time that Harvard |
man safely crossed the Yale danger in
1901, the games that Harvard won since
have resulted from field goals. The
lads are likely to find oppo
sition TO scoring by the Yale eleven when
they meet. If such be the case her main
dependence will be Charlie Brickley.
Bartlett, the college strong man, has
come TO his own on the
Brown varsity eleven. He has struck
ais stride and is to be counted on against
.he Carlisle team on Thanksgiving day.
