CORNELL MEETS HARVARD ELEVEN
In Most Important Contest of Todays Programme Will Test Yale to the Linit-Federal League War Against Organized Baseball.

New York, Oct. 31.--Eastern foot ball fields will be the scene of some | interesting intercollegiate games to- morrow, although none will rise to the plane of a championship contest. Considered in a broad sense, however, the days gridiron clashes are the most pretentfOuS and promising of the sea son to date and there is the added spice of not too remote possibilities of upsets and surprises. An added feature will be the staging of several inter-sectional games through which 1t will be possible to gauge the foot ball progress and ability of some of the leading elevens of the east and middle west.
 So far as prestige is concerned. the Harvard Cornell game at Cambridge stands forth as the leading eastern gridiron event of the day. That the contest will develop a sensational fea- ture for the football weekend is un- likely; the undefeated Crimson com bination appears to stand superior to
 the invaders from the shores of Cay uga Lake. Cornell although already defeated by Carlisle and Pittsburgh, is
 expected to make a valiant battle for honors. but it is doubtful if Coach
 Sharpe's pupils can bring about the
 downfall of the powerful and well nigh
 perfect machine that has been devel-
 oped at Cambridge.
 The Yale team will also face a
 worthy opponent in the strong Col
 gate aggregation. Although Colgate
 can boast but small percentage of
 the student enrolment at Yale, it Is
 represented by 8 really strong team
 as. it's record to date attests. Allow
 ing for the probable improvement
 made by the Blue during the past week
 1t still appears as though the New
 Haven combination will have to show
 all it's power if the New York state
 r0Ta 1,n fn hn in Roa syi1 manner.
 Princeton in playing Holy Cross will face a team already defeated by Har-
 ward 47 to and Yale 10. to 0. That Princeton should win is conceded for although the Worcester college has a hard playing, we'll balanced eleven, it does not appear to be of the caIibre of the Tiger aggregation
 The same holds true of the Penn syIvaniaPe State game scheduled for Franklin field. This season ap- pears to be an off one for Penn State and it is likely that George Brookes' boys will roll up a sizeable score to square accounts of other years.
 The United States military academy team will act as strenuous host to the Notre Dame eleven from the mid de west tomorrow and some interest ing and perhaps sensational football should result. The western brigade has been playing a fast open game this season and has scored repeatedly by brilliant and complicated forward passes In the army they will find a team well verSed in up-tO- date eastern offensive and defensive tactics. For this reason the test of the two sys- tems will be awaited with as much in terest as the outcome of the Syra- cuse- Michigan game at Ann Arbor which is also scheduled for decision tomorrow.
 Tn the southern section of the east ern 'gTidiron world two ga1Ges of prom thence stand out in ehe Carlisle Georgetown contest at Washington and the NaTy-Lehigh clash at Annapolis
 Other games among the many sched- 1led for decision, which hold forth promise of some skilfuI exhibitions of modern gridiron play, include Dart nouth-AmherSt: Brown Vermont: La laYette-Ursinus; Pittsburgh -Bucknel1: i Wesleyan Rutgers and Swarthmore- l Johns Hopkins.
