HARVARD MAY BALK AT NEW
 TIGER DATE

Boston. Dec. 5-Can Harvard con- sistently enter into Ya1e's proposition to alternate each year the dates of their games with Princeton?
 This question seems to be the stick lel in what otherwise might be con sidered a fair proposition, for should Harvard agree to the Yale plan, she naturally will have to go back. on the stand taken when she cut Dartmouth from the schedule.
 That Yale realizes this condition seems to be indicated by. the fact that the Ellis are seeking late season game with Dartmouth which act Is taken to mean that, in the event of Harvard refusing the Yale plan, Yale will relegate the Princeton game. to a naid-se4son date and, if possible, will take on Dartmouth on. the date which Harvard plays Princeton.
 Two years ago after a. series of time-honored contests. which had it's inception at the very beginning of football. Harvard cut Dartmouth from it's schedule, declaring that the game was too difficult to be played so closely preceding the Harvard Y ale contest Harvard celebrated the following sea- son by winning from ale 15 to 5. and followed up the season with the cele- brated 36 to victory, the greatest achieved against Yale in the history of football.
 When the dropping of Dartmouth from the Harvard schedule was an nounced, there was considerable sn1i1- ing up sleeves on the part of Yale men, who pointed with an air of su- periority to the fact that Yale played Princeton but one week before the Harvard-Ya1e game, and had no idea of changing the date of that game for such reasons as Harvard had given. T2T1f he fu1r rolled along the benefit of an easy game over a difficult game for the Saturday preceding the Harvard Yale game was strongly manifested.
 Harvard's game with Brown, on the day of YaIe's game with. Princeton, allowed Coach Haughton to send his second string men into the contest while he took the bulk of his varsity | outfit to Princeton to watch the Yale ! varsity forced to play one of the hard | est games of it's season-a game which l saw three of Yale's stars so badly i'm 1 jured that during the following week | they were unable to do scrimmage
 work, while one of the number could play but a few minutes in the big 1 contest because of an injured ankle. In addition to the Princeton game
 forced Yale to show the Harvard coach and squad it's entire repertoire of plays.
 l AO-
 next year it will mean that one week
 before Harvard plays Yale it will be called upon to journey to Princeton
 and engage in a, hard game with the
 Tigers before the eyes of the Yale varsity, while the 4YaIe second string 1 is pastining in the Yale Bowl with
 an easy team, a proposition which, to | the minds of the Harvard men thus far interviewed. Is not one to liar yards liking.
 l Consequently, if it were not for the Eli challenge which just now is rest l ing in4the desk of the Dartmouth | graduate manager it would appear | that the same programme for Yale | which led up to Harvard 36, Yale 0
 would be the order for the 1915 foot. l ball season.
 This Yale challenge to Dartmouth Imay mean much or little. If it means 1 much, it will mean that in the event | of HaTvard's refusal to the alternat- 1 ing date plan Yale will re1egate Princeton to the sixth week of its football season and vii tackle Dart | mouth two weeks before the Harvard l Vale game, or on the date that liar.
