Tomorrow is the big day for foot bah
teams in the east and west. In both
these sections there will be several
contests of unusual Importance gem
eral and local. There are two conflicts
impending. though, which attract
greater attention than the others, one
in each section: Yale and Princeton,
in the east; Chicago and Illinois, in the
west.
Besides the big contests between Chi
cago and Illinois and Yale and Prince
ton, there are other games that will
attract more than the average atten-
.tion. In the east Dartmouth is to en-
gage Pennsylvania at Philadelphia, Col
gate is to play Syracuse, Williams and
Amherst are to test each others
strength, while the biggest conflict of
the year between preparatory schools
is to take place when Exeter and And
over meet. Besides the meeting be-
tween Chicago and Illinois in the west,
the Carlisle Indians are to play Notre
Dame in Chicago, University of Ne
braska is to go against its greatest
rival, University of Kansas, and Cor
nell will battle Michigan at Ann Ar
Dor.

did Harvard. is pretty sure to have it's
