SEES NO REASON
FOR cANcELLING GAME
MiddIetown College Meets Trinity on
Nov. 20.

OF late there has been much spec
ulation as to whether the Wesleyan
football team would play Trinity on
November 20. At present Wesleyan
sees no reason for cancelling thi4
game. The two colleges have an agree
ment to the effect that either college
may play any undergraduate they
choose unless he enters from another
college, when the one-year rule applies.
The enforcement of this rule will
keep Kennedy and Visner, of Trinity,
from taking part in the annual game
this year, but Brickley will be eligible
to play. Wesleyan will undoubtedly
demand revival of Trinitys rules for
the future however
The fact that n. Y. U. and Columbia
cancelled their games with Trinity has
nothing to do with WeSleyan's stand,
as it is expected that Trinity will live
up to her contract with the Middle
town college.

HARVARD-YALE GAME
LOOMS UP WITH IMPORTANCE
Blue. Eleven VIII Improve This Week
and Will Be Strong in Stadium.

For the first time since the early
days of the football season. the Har-
ward Yale game looms up with SO
much importance Until the over
throw of the Tigers Saturday. the COM
ing game between the crimson and
blue looked rather soft on paper, and
as a result football interest drifted to
other teams and other games. Now
Yale is getting attention. all because
Tom Shevlin has come back to Yale
and Yale has come back to life. No
body expected Shevlin to whip the
slovenly Yale team into a fighting ma
chine this fall, for he had been sum-
moned too late. But most everybody
feels that If Shevlin had not respond
ed to the cry Of alarm from New Ha-
Ven that Yale team would not have
rallied and showed the fight it did
against one of the strongest Princeton
elevens that has ever been developed.

ate. fight could have won against the
crimson Saturday. That would be an
swering too much Had Harvard been
playing in the bowl instead of Prince
con, Yale could not have won, but this
does not answer the question as to
the outcome of the coming engagement.
Yale will improve this week: will make
rapid strides for the simple reason
that the victory over a powerful OPP
ponent will give it a wonderful mental
stimulus and again for the reason that
it is still learning from Shevlin and
the other coaches Yale should be
stronger in the stadium than it was in
the bowl.
