Hard Test for Princeton, While
Cornell and Brown VIII
Clash in This City.

finds that the interest and enthusiasm
is as keen after seeing the first game OF
the new season as il was on seeing the
last one Of the year before. The pity
is that the season is so short. The con
fict of late baseball and the worlds
series with early football prevented my
getting a glimpse of anything like
real game on the gridiron until Satur-
day at New Haven, where Yale did bat
tie with Notre Dame-a team that
came out of the West q year ago and
taught the Army team at West Point
such valuable lesson in the scoring
value Of the open game. The Saturdays

time the sporting feast will be rich for
those who appreciate and know the
charms Of this strong, virile college
game.
Frank Hinkey appears TO be getting
results at Yale II the play of the eleven
against Notre Dame on Saturday can
be accepted at its face value. Presum-
ing that the team from the Middle
West is strong, as indications all point,
ed, then Yale will give Princeton and
Harvard men many anxious moments
in the next few weeks. AS ] said IN

Looking forward week one is con

make picking and choosing no easy
matter II is a day on which every foot
ball lover would like to be in three
places at the same time. Cornell and
Brown will clash at the Polo Grounds,

will do battle in the new and spacious
home for football at Princeton. while
