Harvard-Michigan Battle is Only
One of Headliner Rank In
Country Saturday
INDIAN-ORANGE CLASH
NEXT IN IMPORTANCE
Two Conference Contests Are
Worth Watching-No State
Games of Vital Import
BY HAROLD v. WILCOX.

The stage setting for the Michigan
Harvard game tomorrow could not De
improved upon. II Is headliner
without competition. There VIII DO
numerous gridiron battles OF import
ance and interest, but none viii have
any excuse to acquire artistic tenn
permanent and object to the spotlight
being turned only ON Soldiers Held
at Cambridge.
Next on Saturdays football bill TO
the intersectional clash In import
ance but by no means rivaling II. VIII
rank the Carlisle-Sy game.
Yale will play Colgate. but despite
the Colgate's 16 to victory last year,
the Blue Is not anticipating anything
more than q stiff contest. Princeton
will play Williams. but that game VIII
not rank with the fracas with Dart
mouth last Saturday. The same 10
true of the Cornell Holy Cross meet
ing and the Observation-Disclosures clash
This game at Buffalo between syria
cuse and the Redskins, however, VIII
be an altogether different afair. Any
thing the Indians are mixed up In al
ways claims q good share OF popular
interest. and Saturdays contest VIII
be between two mighty strong, and
probably well matched elevens. We
Wolverines have no doubt OF the
prowess OF the Orange, and Glenn
warmers team has been making tre-
mendous strides In the past two
weeks. Then, too, the game will give
us something OF the idea OF Penn's
strength, for Penn beat out the In
dams last Saturday by but single
touchdown. Pennsy was woefully
weak early In the season, but struck
its stride last Saturday, and played
much as Il will q week from tomor-
row at Ann Arbor. Syracuse VIII
probably be about as strong as 1t was
Saturday. Carlisle is expected to be
q little stronger.
Another pair Of eastern battles In
the select class tomorrow will be the
Penn State-Lafayette and Pennsy-
Swarthmore clashes. Both will claim
much the same interest here that the
Yale and Princeton games will claim.
Although this state has lost inter
Michigan bolted, there will be q pair
OF conference games well worth
watching. They are the Illinois-Min-
nesota and the Chicago-Wisconsin
fracases II the Illini defeat the
Gophers, the championship will have
to be decided at Urbana, Nov. IA,
when Chicago and Illinois meet. II
Minnesota wins, the title clash VIII be
played at Chicago. That Is going en-
the assumption that Stagg will beat
Wisconsin, which is probable. II Is
also probable that Illinois will win
tomorrow.
Other games outside the state
which will be watched here will be
the Mt. Union-Case, Miami-Indiana
and w. & Invest Virginia clashes.
Miami won fame last Saturday by
beating Mt. Union decisively.
The headliner In the state will be
the Akron-M. A. G. game, which
Macklin Is sure enough OF winning
to send In a team of many substi-
tutes.
Again there will be but one M. /.
A. A. game, that between Alma and
Albion. This contest will mark
Alma's debut In the championship
scrap this year. The u. of ID. will
take on the Michigan Fresh at Ann
Arbor, and will probably get another
lacing, as the yearlings have devel
oped an unbeatable streak since they
were tied by Ypsi In the first game OF
the year.
The high school title race has mar
rowed down to four schools. with De
troit Central still the favorite. Grand
Rapids Central Is close second
while Grand Rapids Union and Flint
are still trailing. Detroit will play
Jackson here, and should win easily
Grand Rapids Central meets Lansing
and should also have an easy time,
unless Dinnie Upton's bear story Is
true and his team Is badly crippled
Union plays Kazoo and will probably
win again. Flint meets Port Huron
with little chance of being defeated
Thus tomorrow will have little a.
feet on the title race, unless the dope
81 ould get an awful upset
Eastern will play at Ann Arbor
Western will meet Northwestern al
ID. A. c. field at 1880 In the morn
ing. and ID. u. g. will take a whirl nj
Toledo Central at the Ohio city. Cen
trail will play as usual at d. A. G
field, the game starting at 2:3f
