Outside of the Harvard Yale con-
test at Cambridge tomorrow the foot
ball games in the East are generally
devoid of prospects that they win
prove either close contests or have an
important bearing on championship
honors. ~
The Army and Navy cadets each
have as their last game before the
annual match at the Polo Grounds
next Saturday what are expected to
prove easy victories. The midship-
men will entertain the New York
University eleven, which has not
scored on an opposing team this year

Hitchcock and Bradlee both were

ran through the plays without a sign
of lameness.
The breaking training dinner of the
second team was held last night in
Boston, and most of the varsity
coaches attended. Haughton, how
ever, went with the regular team, as
did Ham" Corbett, Reggie Brown
and Bradford Blagden. -4
Shortly after 6 o'clock last night
the Yale team arrived from Auburn
dale from New Haven, ten automo-
biles being furnished for them by old
Yale men. 1t was one of the biggest
squads that Yale tas ever sent to a
Harvard game. The Yale players
looked as il they had recovered COM

the Tigers, and the coaches say that
they are fit and also IT has been i'm
