INTEREST IN EASTERN
 oRipiRoN STRUGGLES
Princeton Harvard Game overshadows
 All other Battles.

New York, Nov. os--Althougn mum Der of football games of more than ordinary interest are scheduled for eastern gridirons tomorrow. the an- nual contest between Princeton and Harvard overshadows the other strug- gles of the day. Dartmouth and Penn sylvania will meet in Boston: Brown will invade New Haven for game with Yale, Notre Dame will be the Army,s opponent at West Point and Buckne11 will play the Navy. Wash ington and Jefferson faces Pittsburgh, while Cornell tackles Michigan at Ann Arbor.
 Will Clear Football Situation.
 With the playing of these games the complicated football situation in this section will be cleared to some extent and the eastern championship claim ants reduced in number. The defeat of Harvard by Princeton would leave the Tigers on par with Cornell and Colgate; but should the Crimson tri- umph, the Nassau eleven would be brought down to the plane of Har- yard Yale, Pennsylvania, Dartmouth and other strong teams which have suffered one or more setbacks. The same applies to the Washington and Jefferson Pittsburgh contest, for neither eleven has heen defeated and
 7th have winning records which in- clude victories over big institution teams.
 Harvard and Princeton Today.
 The battle between Harvard and Princeton promises to be one of the most spectacular of the season. The Orange and Black is expected to prove far stronger than last year, when the Cambridge clan won by score of 20 to o. The early games have shown that Harvard is not so formidable as in 1914. while Princeton's progress has been uninterrupted.
 
 The edge in playing form and alI-. around strength appears to be, with the Tigers, who developed team and individual power both on attack and defense early in the season. With Harvard the situation has been quite had the wealth of material to work with that he had year ago and the eleven has been slow to find itself. With the exception of the defeat by Cornell, a team of exceptional ability and speed, Harvard has made about this time in 1914. Yet 1t is remem- bered that last fall, when the Grim son finally swung into its gait, it over whelmed Princeton 20 to and Yale 36 to 0.
 Harvard Team of Great Possibilities.
 Harvard will face Princeton with combination containing the clements OA a 1OIIl1QdDI0 aItaCk ana Q0IenSe. Individually and collectively, tho Crimson team is one of great possi- bilities. It has shown flashes of al- most Irresistible offense and defense, and should it play to the limit of its powers victory for Princeton is by no means assured.
 Many close observers of. the team believe that the power is there and that the present combination will find itself just as did its predecessor.
 Tigers Remarkably We'll Trained.
 Under the coaching, of Rush, the Ti- gers have developed into a remarkably well trained combination from a phys. ical standpoint, in addition to being well versed in the technique and Princeton has uncovered a defense when occasion demanded which was almost impregnable and an offen6a suf- hciently strong to penetrate her op- ponents' line. It is doubtful if the at tack is as powerful and piercing as Harvard's. but this defect, appears to be offset by a better defense.
 Princeton's Ends Slow.
 The Tigers. chief point, of weak ness this season has been slow play by the ends, and unless there Is de- ciGed improvement in that regard, the sprinting and lodging ability of Cap tain Mahan may more than overcome the superior bunting ability of Driggs The Harvard leader is one of the most dangerous broken field runners in the east and if the turf is dry tomorrow he will give the Princeton wing men all kinds of trouble. In field goal kicking Mahan and Tibbott appear to be about evenly matched.
 Vale Meets Brown.
 Chief interest in the Yale-Brown game will center in the showing made EsryA AI14 under Shevlin. The Providence team despite defeats at the hands of Am herst and Syracuse. is a hard playing combination and should give the eleventh hour shift at New Haven ample opportunity to demonstrate it's effectiveness.
 Pittsburgh to cIs.b With w. and J.
 The battle between Pittsburgh and Washington and Jefferson should be a thriller and the winner will be able to claim place in the gridiron sun of 1915 for 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 Dart mouth contest, for although both teams have one or more games this season, they appear to be evenly matched and should devolep hard-fought and in- teresting struggle.
 Notre Dame at West Point.
 Notre Dame will be represented at West Point by an eleven on a par with those which she has sent to face the cadets during the past two years Except for the 20 to 19 defeat at the hands of Nebraska, her slate is clean and the middle western teams should give he soldiers a hard fight for the game honor. Bucknell, which faces the Navy, does not appear to be SC formidable, having won but one game out of seven to date.
