The most important games on to-

the fale-Princeton contest at New
Raven, the Harvard Brown game at
Cambridge and the Dartmouth-rar-

the Polo Grounds, in New York.
Inc latter game has taken on mora

tricky, resourceful Indians, who have
everything to gain and nothing to

are reported in excellent physical

followings of undergraduates as well
as small armies Of alumni enthusiasts

the teams to victory. The Dartmouth

fearful Of exposing their trick forrna-

| The Princeton team will also con -
clude its schedule tomorrow with
what is really the biggest game of the
| day. No radical changes have been
made in the Tigers lineup during
the week, an evidence of some ass,lr-
ance among the coaches that they
have produced for the struggle with
Yale the best that is possible of this
years material. Incidentally it Is in
teresting. that no less than twenty
one coaches are making the trip from
| Princeton to New Haven today.
Their confidence is substantiated
somewhat by betting, which Is re-
ported as favoring Princeton In the
ratio of 10 to and to 4. There were.
however, many bets on even terms.
particularly when 1t became known
that Ainsworth, Yale's fast halfbacl,
who was cut over the eye In the
Brown game last Saturday, might re-
turn to the lineup tomorrow for the
clash against the Tigers. There was
also the good news that Arnold, the
big guard, had been made eligible
to play by the faculty, but whether
he would be able TO play tomorrow,

that he would be In condition for the
Harvard game next week.
Harvard's meeting with Brown to-
morrow Is not expected to develop
the close struggles that are looked
for in New Haven and New York. as
Brown has not shown itself as strong
this season as usual. The team has
been improving as the season has adj
vanced, however, and Harvard will
take no chances Of marring its con-
sistent success by carelessly dropping
game on the eve of the Harvard.

have defeated Princeton with touch-
down, which Harvard was unable to
do. They have defeated Pennsylva-

that remains is to beat Carlisle, which
we expect to do"

Among Harvard folks in Cambridge
odds of 10 to Z that Princeton beats
Yale have not been allowed to go
begging.
The Indians will not wear numbers
in the game against Dartmouth. They
will stop at the Murray Hill Hotel
