NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Following
arc occurrences on the gridiron
which have helped make the present
season the most uncertain in It's
weekly results and the hardest TO
guess of any season Harvard tied
once, and % points for opponents.
Yale beaten once, and % points for
opponents; Princeton tied once. and
26 points by opponents; one defeat
for Penn, and % points by the OPP
position: Dartmouth once beaten and
10 points on the other side of the
ledger the Navy beaten twice and
scored on to the extent OF 40 points;
Cornell beaten twice. and &c points
against the lthacans; the Indians
beaten oftener than they have won
and all of this before the first of
November. In the way of conflict
ing scores may be mentioned the
Princeton yarmouth Williams re-
suits further TO tangle the situation.
yarmouth beat Williams, u TO g;
Princeton beat Dartmouth, 10 TO 10;
but along comes Williams and plays

Defence generally is being pretty
well rocked Opponents have been
going through the Harvard line for
long yardage for the last four weeks.
The Harvard line as yet isn't near
the form of Harvard lines for the
last two seasons either IN offensive
power or defence Against Michigan
the forwards appeared sluggish and
out of harmony for a greater part of
the game and played as II they hadn't
begun to quicken and cooperate as
they are expected TO do for the big
November scraps. the first of which
is only a week away. As the
Princeton line was Just as erratic

But shredded though the Crimson
line was between the 25-yard lines
il was firm around the 5-yard line

Between those points, however, the
secondary defense had to do a grea
amount of work, a condition which
