HARVARD MAY Be PUT
TO TEST BY CORNELL
Much Interest in the Many
Football Games CaTded
This Afternoon.
NO EASY TIME FOR YALE
Princeton to Face Holy Cross,
While Army Eleven Will
Take Field Against
Notre Dame.

ternoon to make a holiday for Harvard
There is no disposition toward confidence
I'm winning. but the feeling is general
that DR.. Sharpe and his assistants VIII
give the Crimson the hardest test so lar
this season.
In some respects the game is the most
important of the day, as line VIII oe
furnished that should throw some light on
struggles to come. Sufficient 10 the MIN

moon, and there are enough OF them 10
keen followers of the sport Thoroughly

An analysis of the game in which Pitts
burgh defeated Cornell last Saturday by
r score of 90 to shows that in every
thing except vigilance in following the
ball the men OF Ithaca eXcelled. In
lpunting. in straight rushing from scrliu-
mage formation and in most OF those
fpoints by which football strength Is
gauged Cornell was stronger than It's o.
ponent, and yet Cornell was badly beaten
! IT is on this, however, that the coaches
are banking for q good showing against
, Harvard. SO that an interesting game is
promised, although it looks on paper as
If the Crimson should win by a sate
margin. even without Mahan and Hitch

Yale may get a bigger mouthful tnan
can be swallowed in facing the Colgate
eleven which Larry Bankhart has care
fully moulded into a thoroughly strong
and smooth running machine. The Army
team beat Colgate only in the last minute
of play. and from all accounts suffered IN
comparison. Since then there has been
time TO smooth of rough edges, and Yale.
without several of the regulars IN tne
lineup, is almost sure to get quite as
much Of test as Howard Jones and the
other coaches care for.
Princeton in playing Holy Cross viii
face team already defeated by Har-
ward. 47 TO :, and Yale, 10 to 0. For this
reason the game will appeal TO those fol-
lowers Of football who persist In the idea
that comparative scores form safe OASIS
for estimating the strength of rival
clevcns. That Princeton should win is
conceded for although the worcester
college has hard playing, we'll balanced
eleven it does not appear TO be OF the
same calibre as the one in Jungle Town
The samo holds true of the Pennsyi-
yania-P Penn. State game, scheduled for
Franklin Field Philadelphia. The Quak-
ers have d score to settle with their rivals
of somewhat similar name, for the Penn
State men have made trouble in past
years This season appears TO be an Off
one for Penn. State. and IT is likely that
George Brooke's eleven will roll up a
stable score TO square accounts.
The United States Military Academy
team will act as a strenuous host TO the
Notre Dame eleven from the Middle West.
and some interesting and perhaps sensa-
tlonal football should result. The West
ern brigade has been playing fast, open
game this season and has scored repeat
edly by brilliant and complicated forward
passes In facing the Army on dry
field at West Point the visitors will have
an excellent opportunity to display the
style of football popular in the Middle
West.
In the Army they will find a team well

test of the two systems will be awaited
with as much interest as the outcome Of
the Syracuse Michigan game at Ann Ar

Considered one of the most important
cogs in the execution Of Stages new for
