New York. Nov. 7.-Footba1l games which will have a decided bearing on the ultimate ranking of eastern col lege elevens are scheduled for decision tomorrow afternoon. These contests, which mark the passing of the pre- nninary season, will bring together several of the leading elevens of the section which have to date tfiumpAed in every game played this autumn and the outcome will therefore be awaited with unusual Interest. The feature games of the day bring together Har- yard and Princeton at Princeton and PeRnsylvania and Dartmouth at Phil adelphia, although several of the other big varsity combinations faee oppo- nents who should prove dangerous until the final blast of the refereefs whistle ends hostihtles.
 Harvard at Princeton.
 The Harvard squad. more than thir- ty strongA spent the night before the game in this city and will move on to Princeton early tomorrow mornfng. At their temporary headquarters 1t was stated that every member of the nrst string combination was in per feet con dition for the hard game expected al Princeton and that while tn 6 coaches were not over-conhdent they looked forward to victory by 8 sna1l score This appeared to be a logical if con servative assertion, since the Crimson
 
 eleven, judged from gener al form, in the east this season. Experts who delight in analytical ana1ys sis of each contest have pointed cut that liar wards defense is weak as compared to the offense, which nnzaSr be correct, but the fact remains that not one of the six teams which has faced the Crimson to date has been able to score 8 touchdown against the varsity team by straight football

 Holy Cross counted by picking up 3, fur1bled punt and Corni sl1 forced the substitute team back for 8 touchdown in the final minutes of lal st Saturdays game. These points with three scored by Williams through 8 ii i'd goal con- stituted the totad sixteean points re- corded against Harvard, To offset this the powerful Crimson machine has rolled up ITO points and at no time has the Cambridge eleven been in dan ger of defeat In meeting Princeton, however, 8 team stronger and better grounded in the rudiment s of football will be faced and the full power Of the Harvard team tested Although lack ing the versatile attack of the Crimson the Tiger aggregation is both fast, and strong and has improved and broad ened it's play since defeated by Dart mouth two weeks ago Considered as a whole, the Princeton line should be able to hold the Crimson forwards in check, but the Harvard backfield is expected to prove faster and more dangerous than that of the Tigers If Law is at his best he should be able to hold his own in bunting: with either Brickley or Mahan.
 At Franklin field, where Pennsy1va- nia and Dartmouth win meet, another fast and brilliant game should result Both teams have shown class A ca1ibre this season, playing a combination of the old and new game, which has prov ed baffing for their opponents. With the exception of the to tie game with the Carlisle Indians, the Pennsy1- vania combination has swept every team before 1t to datf4, rolling up a to- tai of 14S points to 13 for opponents. Dartmouth, aside from its 6. to 0 vic-l tory at Princeton, has demonstrated that 1t has a most powerful and bril- liant attack, and sdl of the New Eng land college teams which have at tempted to check the march of the Hanover players have been formed to defeat by scores running into double fg71res.
 i None of these teams, however, classes with Pennsylvania in either offensive or defensive strength, and the only test of a similar type was the Princeton game, played in a. sea of mud and wa ter Given a dry, fast field, the game
