DIG CONTESTS IN
EAST SCHEDULED
FOR PLAY TODAY
Harvard and Princeton in Big
Game Which Has Bearing on
Championship = Penn and
Dartmouth at Philadelphia.

NEW YORK. Nov. S. Football
games which viii have decided
bearing on the ultimate ranking OK
eastern college elevens are scheduled
for Saturday afternoon. These con-
tests mark the passing of the preum-
| mary season. They Will urlng tog eJh-
er several of the leading eleEens OF
the section which have Ia date tri-
umphed in every game. The feature
games Of the day bring together Har-
ward and Princeton at Princeton and
| PENNSYLVANIA and Dartmouth al Phil
adelphia. although several of the 9TH
er big varsity combinations face OPP
pOnents who should prove dangerous.
| The Harvard squad. more than 3n
| strong. spent the night before the
game in this city and viii move on TO
| Princeton early Saturday morning.
At their temporary headquarters IL
was said that every member Of the
/ first string combination except \
I Kaker was in perfect condition and
/ that while the coaches were not over
! confident they looked forward 10 vic
| tory by a small score. This appeared
to be logical if conservative assertion.
! since the crimson team is conceded II
be the strongest eleven in the east
this season.
Haryard's Defense Work.
Experts who delight in analysis OF
Harvard's defense Is weak as COM
pared to the Offense. which may be
correct but the fact remains that not
one of the six teams that have faced
the crimson TO date has been able 10
score a touchdown against the var
sity team by straight football.
In Princeton, however, team vel
grounded in the rudiments OF football
will be faced and the full power of the
Harvard team will be tested. Al
though lacking the versatile attack
OF the crimson. the Tiger aggregation
is both fast and strong and has i'm
proved and broadened it's play since
defeated by Dartmouth two weeks
ago.
Considered as a whole, the Prince
ton line should be able TO hold the
crimson forwards in check, but the
Harvard backheld is expected TO prove
faster and more dangerous. If Law
is at his best he should be able To
hold his own in punting with either
Brickley or Mahan.
At Franklin field, where Pennsyl-
vania and Dartmouth viii meet an
other fast and brilliant game should
result. Both teams have shown class
A caliber this season, playing a com
bination of the old and new game
which has proved battling FOR their
opponents. with the exception of the
seven To seven tie game with the
Carlisle Indians, the Pennsylvania
combination has swept every team be-
fore IL to date, rolling up a total OF
las points 10 3 for opponents. Dart
mouth aside from its six 10 nothing
victory over Princeton has demon
strated that il has a most powerful
and brilliant attack. and every one or
the New England college teams which
have attempted to check the march
of the Hanover players have been
forced by defeat by scores running
into double figures.
Yale will have her final tryout be-
fore facing Princeton next Saturday
using the fast Brown university eleven
as opponents If the Eli aggregation
plays up TO the standard of its best
work this season. Brown should be
defeated. but if the blue persists in
playing the erratic game that has
cropped out so frequently at New
Haven, this fall. Brown optimism may
prove we'll founded.
Cornell has the honor Of figuring IN
the only intersectiOnal game of the
day since the University Of Michigan
eleven will be entertained at Ithaca
The fact that Cornell will act in the
capacity of host has not influenced
the instructions OF Coach Sharp and
the red and white is prepared TO bat
tie to a finish against the Wolverines
Cornell's record 10 date however. is
not particularly reassuring. since Car
Isle, Pittsburgh and Harvard have
already defeated the Ithaca cOmbina-
ton. Michigan too has defeat
checked against her 1913 record. for
tho heavy Michigan Aggies scored u
points To the Wolverines seven on
oct. 8.
Cadets Have Hard Games.
Both the Army and Navy have
drawn strong contenders for their
Saturday games in Albright and Buck
nell. respectively Although repre-
senting colleges with small student
enrcllments these two teams have
made excellent records 20 date and
should force the soldiers and sailors
TO play their best in order 10 vim.
The leading games 20 bee played iE
