would have been thought at the first
part of their schedule, when they suf-
fered defeats at the hands of Pitts
burgh and Colgate. Those two early
season losses will figure little in the
standing the team will be given.
though. if the final contests with Mich
igan and Pennsylvania are won. And,
despite the splendid work of Michigan
against Penn, Cornell thinks it has an
even chance for the victory, inasmuch
as the players and team as whole
have been coming SO rapidly as to run
up bigger scores against the secondary
elevens than have the other mstitu-
tions.
Not much is often heard around here
concerning the University of Nebraska,
but that school is to meet Kansas in
what is its big game. That contest
generally is as big an attraction in the
middle west as any of the great con-
tests that take place east of the Alle-
which Yale and Harvard and Prince
ton take part That Nebraska is strong
is shown by its "a to 0 victory over
the Michigan Aggies. a team Michigan
University barely defeated by 8 to 0
after having been outrushed.
Dartmouth will go to Philadelphia to
meet Pennsylvania, realizing that its
hopes of a high ranking depend entire
ly on the result of the conflict. Dart
mouth lost to Princeton in the other
game III WHICH IL meets one OF tne Dig
five, and unless it wins from Penn will
hardly be given as good a ranking as
it is really entitled to. Dartmouth
probably has g. much stronger eleven
than is generally thought, and the
chances are it will get away with the
long end of the score against Penn. In
fact, if the big green gregation can
play the same kind of foot ball that it
did in its contests with some of the
secondary elevens there will be little
doubt as to the result.
Amherst and Williams are to meet in
what is pretty nearly the foot ball
classic among the New England col
leges. Williams has appeared to be
the favorite somewhat. but Amherst is
said to be muSh stronger than has ap-
peared at times.
In the big prep school contest be-
tween Exeter and Andover Exeter is
much the favorite. Exeter has made
such wonderful showing against the
freshman elevens of the big universi-
ties that its adherents can see little
other than a decisive victory over it's
ancient rival.
Not a game is to be played in Wash
ington tomorrow Georgetown has no
land Agricultural College. Gallaudet
and Catholic University are to play on
foreign fields, the Kendall Greeners
being booked to meet the Pennsylvania
College at Chester, and the
to play against Dickinson
at Carlisle.
An effort was made by Catholic Uni
versity to get the Dickinson College
eleven to play here instead of at Car
Isle. but the latter refused. 1t was un-
here a year ago the Brooklanders
would go to Carlisle this season, and
under the alternating agreement Dick
inson refused to dispense with it's home
game.
Harvard is the only one of the big
eastern universities that has not a
difficult contest scheduled. 1t is to
meet Brown. and the Brunonians are
not likely to prove very great
stumbling. block for the Crimson.
The arrangement of the games in
which Yale, Princeton and Harvard fig
ure undoubtedly gives Harvard the ad-
vantage of the schedule. Yale and
Princeton are compelled to play their
biggest contests successive Saturdays,
while the Crimson has what practical
ly amounts to an off-week between.
For instance Primo eton played Harvard
week ago and low must meet Yale
tomorrow. Yale plays tomorrow, prob
ably will go through grueling con-
test, and yet it must meet Harvard
next week. The Crimson instead of
having two difficult contests in sue
cession, has a rather easy game booked
with Brown. This is an advantage for
the Crimson that is not inconsiderable
by any means.
The University of North Carolina and
University of Virginia are to play their
last games tomorrow before their an
nual conflict Thanksgiving day The
game between them undoubtedly will
do much to decide the championship of
the south. Whichever wins probably
will have better right to the honor
than any other eleven. If Virginia is
the victor it will have the honor of the
most successful team in it's history.
while the same will be true of North
Carolina If it finishes with the long
end of the score. North Carolina and
Virginia won their games from Georgia
and Vanderbilt, the former showing
better by comparative scores against
Georgia and the latter proving the
stronger against Vanderbilt.
Central and Western are to meet in
the scholastic series today. The for
mer should win easily.

a thorough trial with the Memphis
