other games OF Importance include Har-
ward against Browns. Syracuse against
Colgate. Cornell against Washington and
Leo and Dartmouth against Bates.
New Haven will be the mecca OF the
foot ball faithful. and while the Tiger

of form on the part OF the Blue, which
has lost four games this season. How
ever. there ri nothing In the record OF
the present Yale eleven TO indicate that
Il will DO able to overthrow Princeton.
Yale Has Edge.

in the last years were hardly able 20
furnish the Eliz with warming UP exer-
else. Consequently the adherents OF the
Orange and Black have been Obliged TO
offer odds as high as ten TO seven In
order TO bring cut Blue backing.
Considered on the showing made TO
Date, Princeton should rank an over
mhelming favorite. II Is generally be-
lieved that Princeton did not uncover
the full power Of its attack In the same
with Harvard. Ono report states that
the Tigers have moro than twenty va

win use against Yale.

Yale Cause Appears Hopeless.
Unless shevilin and his assistants have

less. For the Blue to arise and defeat
Princeton tomorrow would be the most
sensational form upset OF the foot ball
& year. II must not be forgotten. however.
that the Yale squad contains considerable
high class material and has more than
once defeated Princeton when the Tigers

contest safety landed.
Harvard IL not expected 20 send Its
strongest team against Brown and for
that reason the contest is likely to be
close II the Cambridge clan were TO
send its best team against Brown. which
won from Yale last Saturday. 8 to 0.
some grounds might exist for comparing
the strength and ability of the Blue and
Crimson, but since tint leading players
and coaches will be watching the Yale
Princeton contest. the result OF the play
against Brown win be robbed OF much
OF Its value.
Cornell Faces strong Faces.
Cornell faces a strong southern team in
Washington and Lee. but there appears
20 be little chance that the southerners
win be able TO check the victorious foot
ball career OF Cornell
Colgate and Syracuse viii indulge In a
battle royal at Syracuse. The two up
state elevens are among the most power
fui IN the east and appear to be evenly
matched. Colgate has not lost a game or
been scored upon this season. But one
defeat mars the Syracuse record, and Il
was only Dave Tibbott's field goal that
saved Princeton from a seoreless tie with
Syracuse. The rivalry between Colgate
and Syracuse is extremely keen and the
game should result in one OF the best
foot hall contests OF the year.

college will figure IN the days gridiron
bout when Bates meets Dartmouth. Judg-
ing from the work OF the two teams this
season. Dartmouth should win.
Al Philadelphia Michigan and Pennsyl-
vania win play their annual interseetional
contest and the result Il likely 10 be In
doubt until the last. Neither team Is OF
exceptional caliber this year. Michigan
has been defeated by Syracuse, Cornell
and the Michigan Aggies. The ouakers
have bowed before Pennsylvania States,
Pittsburgh. Lafayette and Dartmouth.
The rivalry between Pennsylvania and
Michigan IL as great as ever despite the
rather unsuccessful season. and In all
probability the meeting viii result In a
close struggle featured by some sensa-
uonai open field and overhead play.
