NEW YORK, oct IS.-As the
football season advances. the race
for the Eastern championship is mar
rowing down to three teams as f.
has been for the past several years.
Harvard, Yale and Princeton. com

Three" are drawing near TO the time
when they will match skill with each
other on the Griddcd field.

The game Of last week, when Will
liams scored a field goal on the Grim
son team and managed to hold il to

showed clearly that Harvard was

bad hole with his marvellous kicking
Eddie Mdhan can also boot the ball

fast backfield is necessary to get
down the hcld under the punts. With

Harvard should figure strongly when
she meets Yale and Princeton.
Trumbell at center and Pcnnock
at guard give tho Crimson line a
great deal Of strength. The only po-
sition which looks at all doubtful is
quarterback. HauEHtOn has tried
Bradlee, Freddy and Logan at this
position. OF the trio Bradlee looks
as II he were the logical man for
the place. He did good work In the
Williams game, starting I'm the first
quarter, but was later replaced by
Logan
Yale Started Badly.
At the opening OF the season every
thing seemed TO point toward "a dis
astrous year for Yale on the grid
iron. The Maine game. in which the
lads from up North held the Ellis
to "a scOTeless tic. seemed to indicate
that Yale was out of the running.
Then followed the Lafayette game
Of a week ago. which showed that
the Blue had taken a decided brace.
BY rolling up q p to 0 score on La
fayette, who had held Pennsylvania
TO a 10 TO score the previous week,
Yale came back with a punch.
Knowles, Pendleton and Ketcham
are the strongest men on the Blue
team. This year KetChum has been
taken from center. where he made
the All-American team last year. and
moved over to left guard Martyr

Hest mostly on Knowles for the kick
ing end OF the game, but unless he
improves he VIII stand but little show
against Brickley, Of Harvard, and
"Hobey' Baker, OF Princeton, the two
best kiCkers in the game this year.
Bradley STREET. Star.
Captain "Hobey" Baker and Brad"
STREET are the most consistent
ground gamers on the Princeton
team. "Hobey" made a name for him
self last year and seems TO be just
as good this year. STREET at fullback
sprang into fame IN the BucMeh
game and practically won the game
for the Tigers with his end runs. He
made the first tally after a G0-yarl
run on & wet and slippery field He
also ran excellent Interference For
"IIobey" Baker when the latter was
carrying the ball The Tiger team
is fast and should be able to give
p
name when the two meet. Unless
Yale picks up considerably, Princeton
win repeat the performance Of last
year. for at the present time the tt
gers have shown much more form
than the Eli boys
However. not all OF the football In

Other Teams Look Good.
The Carlisle Indians, Pennsylva-
mia, West Point and Annapolis also
are coming in for their share. Each
Of them. with the possible exception
Of the Navy, has as good a team this
year as last, IL not better Tho In
dams are foes worthy or anyone's
