Within easy reach of New YORK to-day
are four football games OF midseason
Importance and two local elevens. Ford
ham and y Y. e.. will grapple with OPP
ponents on their home grounds. It's an
other big day and OF the games hereabout
the -Not,c Dame affair, because OF
its interseCt!onal favor and reputation Tor
strength of the Westerners attracts the
most attention. Also Of lively interest are
the Observation-Disclosures. Penn-Navy and
West Toint-C lgate games.
The question OF the winner in Al least
three of these games, iale-Notre Dame
Army Colgate and Fem Navy II De
cidedly open one. Though Princeton is
cxnecicd to dispose of the Eastonians a
hard scrap is locked for, for the Tigers
haven't been rolling up big scores ana
Lafayette held Penn to a scorcless tie a
week go. Harvard will take the held
against Tufts with the crimson much pat
tered and weakened from regulars being
temporarily incapacitated. Tufts has a
rugged eleven and made more points
against Bates than Harvard did.
Notre Dame had formidable team
last year, is as good II not better th's
year and has been pointed especially Tor
the BULLDOGS The lndianans are expert
in tho passing game, and as Yale has
gone in extensively for that sort OF work
the game promises to he n busy expo
sition ~ passing In its numerous vari-
ations Whether Vale will he able to put
her fun strength on the field is doubtful
as Wilston. the teams best quarterback
isn't likely TO play, hut the reputation
Of the Notre Dame players indicates
that they would be big handful for the
best that could he put against them.
To-day's game will be the first really
hard one Yale has had, whereas Harvard
and Princeton were hard put to II to win
; a week ago. and both Penn and the Navy
have been in games which were exactins
to the extent Of bringing defeat to those
two agErrgations. The Navy has one OF
the heaviest elevens Of the year. but It's
devel pment has been anything but
rushed, and neither team is greatly adj
. vuuced for q contest to-day which will
have M small hearing on their final rating
Whatever speed and precision the diff
ferent teams have acquired NJ this stage
: Of the campaign may be Handicapped
this afternoon by a wet field and wet
bail However. most OF the teams will
, have had two days OF practice undei
such conditions.
The schedule abounds in games 70,
