NEW YORK. Nov. 1-AlthouEh there
are a number OF football games OF more
than ordinary interest schedul~d for
eastern gridirons tomorrow. the annual
contest between Princeton and Harvard

With the playing OF these games. the
complicated football situation IN this
section VIII be cleared to some extent
reduced In number. The defeat OF Har-
ward by Princeton would leave the Tigers
on a par with Cornell and Colgate. while

brought down to the plane OF Harvard.
Yale. Pennsylvania. Dartmouth and other
strong teams. which have suffered one
or more setbacks during the season Of
1915. The same applies To Washington
a. Observation-Disclosures contest. for
either eleven hes been defeated and both
have winning records which INCLUDE vic
tories over big institution teams.
Spectacular struggle.
The battle between harvard and
Princeton promises TO be one OF the most
Spectacular strugglcs OF the season. The
orange and Black h expected To prove "A
far stronger opponent for the Crimson
than was the case "A year ago. when the
Cambridge eleven won easily by a score
OF 20 to Q. The edge In playing form
and all around strength appears to Ne
with the Tigers for the combination de-
veloped team and individual power both
on attack and defense early In the sea-
on.
Whether this seasons eleven has the
ability and power To- finish out the
schedule In the impressive manner the
team OF "a year ago did. h. n question
open TO much argument. The fact r.
mains. however. that Harvard will face
Princeton with a combination containing
the elements OF a formidable attack and
defense. At no time this fall has Har-
yard developed the smoothncss and CO.
operation OF attack and defense that was
so marked In the work Of the 1914 COM
htnation. Many close observers OF the
team believe that the power Is there and
that the present combination will find
itself Just as did ITS pred 'cossor.
Impregnable Defense.
Princeton ana uncovered "A defense
when occasion demanded which was al
most i~mpreguable and an offcnsc sufft-
cientlN strong 10 penetrate her oppo-
nents lines. II h. doubtful ~ the attack
IL as powerful and piercing as HarVard's
but this defect appears to be offset by
a better defense.
Chife interest in the Yale-Brown game
Will center In the showing made by the
Blue after n week Of coaching under
Shevlin. The Providence team. despite
defeats at the hands Of amherst and
SgfacuNe - . nara playing combination
and should give the eleventh hour shift
at New Haven ample opportunity to
demonstrate its effectiveness.
The battle between Pittsburgh and
Washington and Jefferson should b. "A
thriller and the winner will b. able TO
claim a place In the griGiron sun OF 1915.
Tor their records during the past two
years have been remarkable In view OF
the small number Of students available
FOR the teams. The same can be said Of
the Pennsylvania-Dartmuut teams. for
although both have last one or more
games. this fall they appear TO BE- evenly
matched and should both play "a hard
and Interesting struggle.
Notro Dame Strong.
Notrc Dame will bc represented AZ
West Point by an eleven on "a par with
those which she has sent TO race the
Cadets during the past two years.
Bucknell. who faces the Navy. does
not appear to b. So formidable. having
won only one game out of seven To date.
