EASTERN GAMES
TO Be HARD ONES
Will Demonstrate the Real
Caliber of Various COL
lege Elevens.

New York. Oct. 25-Foutball games
which will demonstrate the real cali
her of the big eastern varsity elevcns
are scheduled to be played today. In
at least two cases il will he possible
to tell by nightfall whether members
of the %so-called big Six" class meas
ure up to the plans accorded them by
their optimistic adhcrcnts.
Princeton. Dartmouth and Penn
%sylvanta, are the universities whose
clcvens step on the testing scales to-
morrow and victories, if such be their
portion, will have been we'll earned
and their ranking status fixed for a
few weeks at least. The southern
section of the eastern division Of var
sity football is to be pcremeinent,
since Dartmouth plays Princeton at
Princeton. n. j., n the Carlisle In
dams invade Franklin field, Philadel-
phia. to meet the University of Penn
s%ylvania team. OF these two games
the Observation-Disclosures contest IL
the more important, since neither
eleven has vet met defeat. On gen.
eral form this fail the Quakers ap-
pear to have the advantage. Under
the coaching of George Brooks the
Pennsylvania team has been coming
fast. Gettysburg, Franklin and Mar
shall. Lafayette. Swarthmore and
Brown have all been defeated in turn.
In Marshall, Young, Avery and Minds
h Quarkers have Il remarkable fast
and we'll balanced baclSfield.
Carlisle Not So Strong.
Carlisle's aggregation is not as
strong or versatile as was the case in
1912. The loss Of Thorpe and Arcasa
is severely felt and shown in. the play.
The Red Mems record is marred by
the defeat administered by the Uni
versity Of Pittsburgh last Saturday
which even the victory over Cornell
tent the game is likely tt develop into
a battle between the coaches. George
Brooks and Glenn Warner, and when
football mentors of their type and
ability watch almost anything in the
way Of sensational play and CUP ma
be expected. 1t needs only to be re-
called that Pennsylvania coming from
behind defeated Carlisle "a to &c in
the closing moments of the 1912 game
to illustrate the possibilities of the
Pennsylvania-Carlisle game.
Harvard Plays Penn Today.
Harvard will have PENNSYLVANIA
Static as it's opponent today. Original
~ Norwich university was booked but
the game was called after the death
of Halfback Belica due to injuries re-
ceived in the Norwich-Holy Cross
game. Pennsylvania state already de-
feated by Washington and Jefferson
II to 0, does not appear to be a for
midable opponent for the Crimson
team and should go the way of Maine.
Bates. Williams and Holy Cross. all
of which have fallen: before Harvard,
Pennsylvania states conquerors.
Washington and Jefferson, will try
their hand at big game in facing Yale
and again it will be possible by a
roundabout method to compare the
relative strength of the Blue and
Crimson.
Cornell Has Hard Fight.
Cornell will face a powerful ag-
gregation in the University of Pitts
burgh team which defeated Carlisle
IL to 6. the week after the Indians
had won from Cornell Z to o. The
Ithacans under the coaching Of Al
Sharpe, have been steadily develop
ng their defensive play and hope to
hold the heavy plunging Pittsburgh
ers in check. while Barrett and Fritz
either by touchdowns or field goal.
To win, Cornell must prove superior
in. defensive tactics since the scoring
ability Of the two elevens is about
on a par.
