1t is expected Bucknell Will prove
the hardest proposition the middies
nave met this season. The middies
are keyed for the struggle, being ex-
tremely anxious to avenge the defeat
received at the hands of the BuckneH-
ians last season, II to s. Having
won from Lehigh, the only other
team by which they We're defeated
last year, week ago, the middies
have been printing themselves this
week for the coming fray.
And an additional amount of in
terest is manifested through the fact
that Bucknell last Saturday won from
the University of Pittsburgh by 9 to
0. Pitt" played the middies to a
scoreiess tie in the opening game OF

their guard to break up such tactics.
Army Regulars ShOA Strength.
The Army regulars were scrim-

with a strong scrub eleven. The sec

The Army will take another hard

the game.

struggle between Harvard and Prince
