she disposed of Holy Cross on Sat
urday, Is the lively topic in football
circles today. It was not that the
Tigers beat Holy Cross that gave
them prestige, but there is no use
disputing the fact that Princeton
played a beautiful game She ran
up q score Of "a points to 0 for her
opponent and she did 1t in O way
that gives her admirers courage when
the game next Saturday with Har-
yard Is being discussed. Surely
Princeton, after that sloppy-weather
defeat by Dartmouth has made a
came back with the proverbial bells
on. She was better than at any
time this year and she might have
taken new liberties with Holy Cross
Her play was sure and she displayed
more class in every department of
the game. From all appearances, the
defeat by Dartmouth has babe q
new team Of Princeton, and she
showed a new spirit and an agrees
siveness and an accuracy that have
not been apparent this season. The
changes in the team, Of course, were
q big help. Click, at quarterback, IN
place of "Stew'' Baker, Is a big i'm
provement and Law in Clicks old
position added more strength. Really,
Princeton looked SO good Saturday,
even allowing for her weak oppo-
nent, that new hope has been klndled
In the discussion of the game to come
this week with Harvard.
O.
As to Harvard, after her game with
Cornell, it cannot be said that she
did any more than expected, although
in the final quarter, In which the
Ithacans did their scoring, substitutes
predominated on the Crimson team.
In the early periods Harvard played
hard, effective football, and she was
up against a very difficult PROPOSE
ton. The Ithacans have grand team
this year, but they are continually
making mistakes. AS q result of the
contest we must have more admira-
ton for Brickley. He was the star of
the game, and when he wasn't doing
something big Hardwiclz was on the
job. Harvard, perhaps. didn't lose
any prestige In what she ala against
Cornell, but she didn't gain any,
either. especially as Princeton came
through in such glorious style.

The surprise of the big games on
Saturday was the defeat of Yale by
Colgate. The Ellis were supposed to
be rounding into form and not far
from what they expect to be when
they meet Princeton first and then
Harvard, but their much-vaunted i'm
little Colgate took them into camp.
AS the score of 10 to indicates, there
wasn't any fiuke about the victory.
Yale simply couldn't do g thing and
she doesn't seem to have any excuses
for her dismal failure. She has two
weeks to go before she meets Prince
ton and three weeks to go before she
meets Harvard. She will need all
that spare time and more, too, it
would seem, to round her out as a
worthy competitor of either the
Tigers or the Crimson. Yale was just
SO bad she couldn't do thing, and
with Cornish, the quarterback, in
jured so badly that he will not play
again this season, the Ellis surely are
In an unenviable position.

The outcome of the games on Sat-
urday changes the complexion of af-
fairs in the football outlook In many
ways. Before Princeton, Harvard
and Yale went into battle the call
was in favor of Harvard as having
the best chance OF winning the cham
pionship That same opinion exists
today, only the Crimson is not such
a certainty. Princeton, In her efforts,
has shown SO well that she is given
a chance against Harvard, q thing
even her staunchest supporters did
not think she possessed a few days
ago. As between Princeton and Yale,
taking the teams as they presented
themselves against Holy Cross and
Colgate. respectively, the Tigers have
taken on new life and the Bulldog has
fallen off miserably. Yale has never
been quite as badly off for football
material as she seems to be this min
ute, yet that old Bulldog tenacity that
hovers over the Ellis camp is always
to be reckoned with.

Dartmouth was sure that she would
swamp Amherst, but she didn't, and
the 81 to score was not anywhere
near what the Hanover boys figured
on. 1t was good warning, though,
for Dartmouth's game with Pennsy--
n game both colleges will find much
honor in winning. Dartmouth was
loaded with substitutes, and she
didn't show as well as against Prince
ton, when she made her accidental
touchdown. Pennsy against Penn
State was about to the book, but the
way Notre Dame tore up the Army
team was caution. There was much
local interest in Notre Dame and
