not only in its real games but in the
practices.
There are three big games on the
schedule this week for the eastern
elevens. Yale is to play Washington
and Jefferson. Princeton will try con-
customs with Dartmouth and the In
dlans are to meet Pennsylvania Wash
| lngton and Jefferson has a great team,
| as its splendid contest with Harvard
shows. and every old Yale man will be
watching the result of the contest with
i the Pennsylvanians because of the
| anxiety to get line on the compare
tive merits of the Dark Blue and the
Notre Dame last weak was indicative
of much more power than was credited
it, and If it can defeat Washington and
JEFFERSON without great deal of trou-
ment spent by Princeton and Harvard
between now and the time for those
contests.
The rather poor showing of the In
u1dnS against FcnHSylVdH1d previous TO
last Saturday bade fair to take the
keen edge off the popularity of the
Indian-Penn eame. but the seeming i'm
pro~ement of the Redskins against
Pittsburgh indicates that another spec-
| ticular conflict will be staged. The
game between Penn and the Indians
has nearly always been brilliant in the
extreme. Both teams have generally
| scored a great deal and some of the
most remarkable plays have been made.
The Princeton Dartmouth battle will.
of course, maintain the prominent posi-
ton 1t has in former years. The Big
Green eleven won last season after
grueling contest on a muddy field. and
will put forth every endeavor to get
the long end of the score. Princeton
has not appeared exceptionally power
full this season, though its contest with
Lafayette last week gave promise OF
much better things to come.
Catholic. University has no game
scheduled for this week. Gallaudet is
to play Rock Hill on its home field,
while the Maryland AgSies are to go
to Baltimore to engage Johns Hopkins.
| There is no doubt that Gallaudet will
score about as many times as 1t pleases
against Rock Hill. The Kendall Green
ers are so much stronger than the Eli
cot City team that there is little or
no comparison.
The Maryland Aggies have beaten
Hopkins for the last two years, but
they will be against harder PROPOSE
ton Saturday than in a number of sea-
sons. The Farmers will go against an
eleven that has fast and heavy back
field, while theirs has oeen very light
all season. Hopkins will considerably
outweigh the Aggies, though 1t has
hardly been as aggressive as the latter.
M. A. c. is confronted with difficult
problem. in that it must play Hopkins
Saturday and st. Johns the following
Tuesday.
| That the Navy Is considering a game
with Princeton for 1915 seems to indi-
cate that the policy of allowing the
team to go away from Annapolis is to
be permanent. The Sailors first trip
OF that character resulted rather dis
astrously. losing to Penn last week, but
that Is not saying it will always be
| that way.
The idea is to have the Navy go to
Princeton for a contest next fall and
have Princeton come to Annapolis in
| 1915 for a return game. Pennsylvania
| Is to play at Annapolis in alternate
| years. and the arrangement will give
the Mfddfes' season a feature it has not
| always had-a game with one of the
big universities at home each year.
