Four of the five big eastern uni
versity elevens are to play games OF
more than the usual interest tomor-
row. Pennsylvania is to meet the In
dams in their annual contest Cornell
is scheduled to play Brown University,
Yale has Washington and Jefferson's
powerful eleven booked for conflict
at New Haven, while-by far the most
important battle-Dartmouth will go to
Princeton to battle the Tigers. Har-
ward is also likely to meet with stiff
resistance when it faces the Penn State
team.
The Penn-Indian game is always a
splendid exhibition of open foot ball.
The Redskins are considerably out
weighed each year, but by open play
and generally tricky work are enabled
to play well and make the right kind OF
a showing, though it has seemed that
Warmers aggregation has never had
much luck at Philadelphia. In nearly
all the contests the Indians and Quak-
ers have played some turn of fate has
resulted in Pennsylvania getting the
better Of the contest. Last year the
ground than Penn, but their costly
fumbling was the one factor that al
lowed the Penn eleven to keep on even
terms all through the conflict. Neither
team has shown up very well SO far
this season, though Penn undoubtedly
has by far the stronger bunch of men.
Penn viii probably outweigh the In
dams by fifteen pounds to the man, and
whether or not Warner Will be able to
develop his eleven to point where 1T
questionable. The green aggregation
with which Warner had to start the
season. though. has been showing re-
markable Improvement, and he Will
probably carry his squad to PhIiadei-
phia in shape to play its best game of
the year.
Princeton is going to put forth some
very strenuous efforts to even up with
Dartmouth for the defeat the big green
eleven handed the Tigers year ago.
Whether or not Princeton will accom-
plish its desire is a matter of conjec-
ture right now, but reports indica te
that the eleven is stronger than at
any previous time this fall.
1t is said that the play of the ends of
the Princeton and Dartmouth teams
may decide the result of the contest.
Reports have it that these two teams
have some of the best tlarkers in the
country, men who can get. down under
runts fast, are not easily blocked, are
splendid defensive performers and are
swift, able receivers of the forward
pass. such ends as represent Dart
mouth a..d Princeton are the best as
sets . team can have. and the play of
those men will be worth while in itself
if they are a. capable as is stated by
those that have seen them play
Dartmouth is more confident than last
wear that its eleven will wrcst victory
from the Tigers. Princeton is just as
serene in its feelings regarding its own
eleven, and the progress Of the players
in the last two weeks has seemed TO
justify it. The game between these
two eievens will probably be one of the
most spectacular and pleasing of the
W hole foot ball season.
If Yale springs another such surprise
as it handed the foot ball world last
week, when it took fine measure of
Notre Dame by such big margin, it il
likely that Princeton ana Harvard will
sit UP and take notice more decisively
than either has been inclined to do
within the last three years. Yale seems
to have found itself to large extent
tn season, to judge by the showing it
has been making, and if it should come
through with a victory over the Penn
sylvanians with q fair margin it will
undoubtedly mean that the Crimson
and the Tigers will realize that the
hardest task, as far as Yale is con-
cerned, in years will be in store for
them.
Washington and jefferson is likely
to prove much more difficult for Yale
though. thin did Notre Dame. Certain
lit is that the Pennsylvani.ins Will make
la better showing than ala the Indiana
eleven The play OF Notre Dame in
that contest was distinct and bitter
disappointment to the followers of
western foot ball. and there are many
western Pennsylvanians figuring that
they are not due to receive the setback
that did the western school The
power of Washington and jefferson is
undoubted. That it was able 10 hold
Harvard to to 10 score indicate s
that it will do better work against
Yale than any that has faced the
Dark Blue this season seems assured.
Cornell and Brown are probably due
to have a difficult game in New York.
The lthacans figure they will get a
victory, and so does Grown Brown
FOR the last two years has not been as
ca pable as previously, out it is much
more powerful now. Cornell, though
ought to rule the favorite. judging by
its splendid work in the last two
weeks against the Indians and Buck
nell.
Harvard may find a tougher customer
in the Penn State eleven than it ex-
poets Penn State enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the only eastern eleven
that has not been scored on though it
has not met the strongest opponents
it could have found.
! Another intersectional game is sched-
uled for tomorrow, Michigan being
booked to appear at Syracuse The
Wolverines will get their first chance
for comparison with eastern teams,
Syracuse having been beaten by Prince
! ton two weeks ago by II 20 l.
Eastern critics Will watch Michigan
