Few important foot ball games are
scheduled for tomorrow. There are
three intersectional contests, but there
is no especial significance attached to
either. Two of the big university
elevens are to meet strong secondary
opponents and one may receive a de-
feat.
/ The Yale team must face the strong
est eleven that is to go against any OF
the big colleges. Colgate is sure to
give the Dark Blue all it is looking for
and perhaps more. The Yale eleven has
not shown near the strength this sea-
son that has Colgate, either on the
offense or defense, and If 1T wins 1t
will be the big surprise of the day.
Colgate has run up something like 200
points and has not been scored against
while Yale has failed to count touch
downs consistently and already has
been defeated by two minor elevens-
Virginia and Washington and Jeffer-
son-and barely escaped losing to Lee
high.
Harvard is to go against Penn State
and the fact that the Crimson captain
will watch Princeton play is SUFFICIENT
evidence that it does not fear the Penn
sylvanians. despite the strength shown
by the latter at times. Penn state
should give Harvard hard hght,
though, at that.
Pennsylvania has a respite from
meeting strong elevens that are likely
20 win from it, Lafayette being sched-
uled to appear at Franklin Field La
ifayette probably will be stronger
against the Quakers than when
Princeton ran up such a big score on
hnt no ought
win without a great deal Of trouble.
Three intersectional contests are
scheduled, Washington and Lee to meet
University of Indiana at Indianapolis,
Michigan to play Syracuse, and the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute is to be
| the opponent of Cornell. The Unlver-
sity of Indiana-W Washington ana Lee
game is sure to attract big crowd.
and it is said that preparations are
! being made at Indianapolis to accom-
modate the largest aggregation that
has ever watched a foot ball game me, II,

it by the decisive defeat of the former
by the Michigan Aggies last week. me

place on the Crimson schedule. Cor

out for it's players, according to reports

It is practically certain that Prince
ton will start the Harvard game with
out having been defeated. 1t is to meet
Williams tomorrow, and that eleven IS
not likely to be any harder for the
Tigers than was that in which Dart
hna
speak conservatively. AS matter OF
fact. it is probable that Princeton Will
run up about as large a score as II
pleases.
Washington and jefferson and the
University of Pittsburgh, western
Pennsylvania's big teams, Will meet
opponents not calculated to prove more
than troublesome. Allegheny Is TO play
| Pittsburgh and Muskinsum is to meet
Washington and Jefferson.
The Army ought not to find Villanova
very strong opposition after its defeat
! of Georgetown last week. The soldiers
should capture the long end of the
| score without a great deal of trouble,
| because Villanova hardly has an eleven
| capable of inflicting much damage on
| the West Point aggregation.
| The Naval Academy has its OPP
ponent the North Carolina Agricultural
| and Mechanical College. The Carolina
| Aggies may prove stronger than they did
| against South Carolina University, to
| which they lost. and consequently make
| better showing than their accomplish

stronger and evidencing much improve

and it will be mighty difficult for the
| Carolinians to cross its goal The south
| erners, though, are more powerful than
| they are be ng given credit for being,
| considering their failure to defeat Roam
| oke and the loss to South Carolina.
| There is an ofd score due to be evened
up at Charlottesville. The Virginia Mill
| tary Institute is to play the University
of Virginia there, and the fact that the
| former got away with 19-to-0 score
against the Orange and Blue four years
ago has not been forgotten by the latter
| institution. Therefore, it is probable
| that v NJ I. is in for a hard time of it.
| as far as the score is concerned, because
1t is hardly probable it will be able to
make much of showing against Vir-
| ginia's powerful combination.
| Georgetown has no game scheduled
tomorrow 1t will hold it's practice
| in the morning, so that several of the
players can watch the battle at An
tnapolis in the afternoon between the
North Carolina Agricultural and Me-
chanical College and the Navy. George
town plays A. and NJ here two weeks
from tomorrow in it's big home game
of the year, and it wants to win that
| contest if possible.

meet Delaware College, and unless the
Newark team is stronger than is
thought it ought not to afford Fred
