By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL


With the possible exception of IIar-
ward and Yale the members of the big
Six" expect to enjoy a breathing spell
tomorrow. All of them have been
harassed so persistently of late that
there will be some cases of nervous pros
soon Here arc the teams the big col
leges must tackle tomorrow:
Harvard VS.. Michigan at Cambridge.
Yale vs. Colgate at New Haven.
Pennsylvania VS.. Swarthmore at
Franklin Field.
Cornell VS.. Holy Cross at Ithaca.
Dartmouth VS.. Amherst at Hanover
N. II.
Princeton VS.. Williams at Princeton.
The Harvard Michigan game is treated
BY Ring W. Lardner in his own inm-
table style. and the only comment the
writer wishes to make from the stand
point of the East is that we shall be
very much astonished II Michigan proves
trouble-maker But we have seen Michi-
gan team which would have done damage
to the best eleven Harvard ever had.
This year Harvard has one of her best
teams, but the youths who will hGht for
Michigan fall short of some Michigan
eleVens of the past.
1t Is rare, indeed, that Yale is hit twice
in the same place by any team, much
less by a minor college. West Point has
done it to the Ellis but none of the other
little fellows. That is why, If history
lepeats tomorrow Colgate will upset tra-
dition by winning from Yale. 1t was
Colgatc's turn to win last year, and that
lo-6 score by which the New Workers wal
ioped Yale has been a sort of nightmare
ever since. Yale men threaten to Outdo
themselves tomorrow. Not only do they
wish TO avcnge that 1918 beating, but they
Will also be goaded on by the greener
memory of that football which Wash
lneton and jefferson took from the Blue
last week by the score of 1871. Tomorrow
doesn't look like an ausplcous day for
Colgate to visit New Haven,
But Colgate has a good team this year
In fact. the eleven Is made up to a large
extent of the men who did so much exc
euuon last year. Colgate has lost only
one game this year. That was to West
Folnt But the team had the satstac-
uon Of beating Cornell earlier I'm the

easily a few weeks ago, Princeton ought
