Not Easy to Pick Winner.
This years eastern football cham
pion will be purely pape" one, re-
gardless of the results of the Prince
ton-Yalc ana Harvard Yale games.
The reason for this is that the Grim
son, which is dopcd to beat ola EI!
and already has licked the orange
and Black by the small score of to o.
does not meet either VI her real rivals
for supremacy, Dartmouth and the
Navy. Either one of these latter clcv-

to hc fully as strong as the Crimson,
and either would be an even money
bet to heat her.
Eastern critics have been giving
Dartmouth some consideration lately.
hut they seem tu have ignored tn"
Navy entirely. Vet the MiddicS have
madc more points than amy other
team in the coast section OF the coun-
try, and have had fewer scored against
them. Their total to date is 237 to

game with the University of Pitts

Scason The Cambridge team dropped
the Green last year because the game
was considered too hard, coming as
close to the Yale and Princeton bat
Ties as it did, and this looks like one
"t the best little moves the Harvard
authorities ever made. They got out
from under at just the right time.
Dartmouth played bette: football!
against Princeton than did Harvard.
according to the eastern experts, and
the two games i'm the Jersey town
were staged under exactly similar
conditions, with the field a sea oi
mud, This of course, handicapped the
Green more than 1t did Harvard. the
latter always playing Il ponderous style
of game and depending on power rath-
"r than speed.
The Navy and Harvard never have
necn regular rivals. though they have
met few times on the gridiron. TN
