Harvard will have TO be fit and
right and at herself to beat Princeton
next Saturday. She will have to be
the Harvard she was last year and
she will have to produce her most
brilliant football to get away with
the struggle. There is just this about
1t. Princeton has come into her own
all Of a sudden, and she Is like q wild
bird of the forest. She is playing
with speed and snap and dash, and
she Ia really playing, In a way, bet
ter than she knows how. Her efforts
against Holy Cross were not neces-
sary and she didn't play to the limit
of her strength by any means. Yes,
the Tigers are brand-new army and
Johnny Harvard will have to have

Everybody is saying poor old
Yale!" and 1t is only making the Ellis

of Itself, ashamed OF Its name and
would like to hide its head of 1t only

tests. You can even stump Bull
dog. and Yale is stumped just now.
Worst OF all, no hope is held out for
her. She is up to her eyes in prac-

shape. She doesn't seem to have much
of anything. and what little she does
is lacking the great spirit that has
invariably predominated at Yale.

Boston, as a cycling town, gives
promise Of rivaling Newark. The
seating capacity at the new track at
Revere Beach isn't large enough for
the demands. and Messrs. Million and
Uppercu are going to increase it by
about 1000. Providence will also be
on the map next year. 1t was q mis-
take that the game was stopped there,
but all objection, 1t is said, has been
overcome and the track will be put In

but the track was too far out of the
city TO attract the mob. Another new

Uppercu is keen on building vast
velodrome in New York, and 1t may
be done, now that Messrs- Million and
Uppercu have given up the idea of
