Yale, Princeton and Har-
ward Meet Teams Which
May Cause Trouble.
RUTGERS IN FINE
TRIM FOR TIGERS
Service Elevens Also in Action,
with Navy Facing Stronger
Combination.

The great drive ~ football will be
gin to-day In earnest. Practically every
major college in The country will be
represented on the Tr.d,ron. and strug-
giles which are r.cu ~ promise will be
waged. With YA, and Virginia,
Princeton and Rutgers, Pennsylvania
and Franklin and Marshall IN conflict,
u is fair 20 assume that thrills IN
abundance are IN store.
Chief interest centres on the meet
irg Of Princeton and Rutgers IN the
Palmer Stadium az Princeton. George
Foster Sanford Will send veteran
team against the Tigers, p team which
he confidently expects VIII win and
which has been pointed for this partlc-
ular game from the time u went into
camp down near Long Branch last Au-
gust. Revenge is the watchword Of
Rutgers. Last year she dipped her
colors 20 Princeton after a bitter fight
by score Of " 20 U.
And so for q whole year Sanford has
dreamed and sehemed, and now that
the day has come he means to make the
most Of II. The Rutgers eleven gave
remarkable demonstration Of power in
showing under tho Albright eleven by
the most elementary formations and
plays. But to-day Princeton will find
itself called upon 70 stop a variety OF
plays which have been practised for
more than month. and which are cal
culated 10 overcome the most powerful
and wide-awake defence.
Princeton will enter the contest IN
der a distinct handicap. Nassau has
not such a supply Of veteran material
as Rutgers is blessed with, and, more
over, Speedy Rush is moulding his team
for the steiner work later in the sea-
son. when Dartmouth, Harvard and
Yale are 10 be faced IN rapid success
sion. But Princeton, realizing the I'M
portance Of the task which confronts II.
will doubtless be on the watch for any
thing the red clay team may launch
against her.
The University Of Virginia will IL
wade the Yale Bowl. Last year the
Blue won by score Of p 20 o, AMI q
victory equally convincing may be ex-
pected to-day. Virginia defeated the
Randolph Macon team by fair mar
gin last week. and has shown muea
aggressiveness.
Harvard Will entertain the Massa-
ohusetts Agricultural College team at
a spirited resistance against Dart
mouth last Saturday, and are su'f-
GENTLY well advanced 70 MAKE me
Crimson hustle from start 70 flnlsh.
So. at least. is the opinion Of some
judges Dartmouth is 10 face Maine,
which was walloped By Yale last week
by score Of 81 10 0.
The first gun in the intersectional
battle will be fired at Ithaca, where
Cornell will face the Oberlin team.
These teams did not play last year.
Ii will be CornelPs second appearance
on the gridiron this year, and, while
Al Sharpe will leave no stone IN
turned, the game will serve principally
10 disclose faults.
The two United States service acad-
emies also will be IN action. The
Army will entertain Holy Cross up
on the plains, while Annapolis Will
extend its hospitality TO the team
from Georgetown. Holy Cross did not
display any alarming degree Of power
in defeating Bates last week, ana
critics anticipate victory for the Arrly
by good round score.
But conditions at the Naval Acad-
envy are vastly different. The Md
shipmen face the unpleasant posslb.l-
ity Of starting the season with de-
feat The team has been slow 10 find
itself, and IN practice scrimmages
there has been a palpable lack OF drive
IN the attack Georgetown, on the
other hand, has gotten of on its best
foot. The team gave Princeton real
fight last week. and had II not been
for a deal OF fumbline IT might have
