New York. Nov. zl.-Wath, the
saturday at Cambridge, the climax
Of, the eastern football season was
reached. Aside from the Pennsyl-
Nania-Cornell game on Thanksgiving
Day and the Arlny-Navy contest. on
the following Saturday. the important
Ertdiron games of 1913. arc already
history.
Looking back over the short period
Of play allotted TO football in this Sec
ton. the records OF Harvard n the
Navy stand pre-eminent.
Harvard Season Over.
The real test If the middies is yet to
come. but the Crimson has complet-
ed its season and there is not. a drop
Of bitterness in the Cambridge cup OF
Joy. To win every game Of the
schedule, ending with the elimination
of her, greatest of! all athletic rivals,
was the task that Harvard players
and coaches set for themselves early
in September. How welt they accom-
plished the feat is witnessed by the
seasons score sheets and the emphatic
r.: Since. the Navy eleven cannot be
geographically said to be in the. same
section Of the. eastern football world
as Harvard. there is. no opponent who
Lean stand forth ana dispute the claim
Of the Cambridge university regarding
the right to its football team to the
eastern championship of 1918. Hav-
ing defeated Cornell, Princeton and
Yale while Pennsylvania; Dartmouth
and Carlisle eliminated themselves
through games lost to other elevens,
the claim for titular honors appears
to be we'll based. and few will care
to discredit the merits Of the Grim
son eleven. It was. however. neces-
saey for Harvard to defeat Yale de-
cisively. in the final game to complete
the championship cycle and $1,000
persons will attest that this was ac-
compfished: at Cambridge Saturday..
