The Harvard-Penu State and Yale
Colgate games hold out most pro'nis"
OF close lighting in to-day's football
gris,. at least among teams OF ,hcir
SCI. A breathing space on the Prince
ton schedule comes In the form OF Will
Jams. n team which hasn't been making
u vivid enough showing to point to any
serious trouble for the Tigers. There Is
no reason to think the Virginia Polytcch-
mic eleven will be any more annoying tor
Cornell. Washington and Lee put its
fellow Virg.nians way comfortably.
Dartmouth VS.. Amherst looks like a
real scrap, however. one OF the Dcst
entertainments OH the days Est. which
OH the whole isn't especially attractive.
II comes between two good saturdays.
With one exception since the opening
game. Yale has been hard put to II TO
win. so much so that OH two occasions
she has lost. Whether colgate ~ as
strong az Washington and JEFFERSON.
which bea. Yale. remains TO he seen. In
any event Yale hasn't any better tina
an even chance to beat Colgate. van-
auishcr in decisive styl" OF the Army.
n team which on the day II lost TO
colgate was fully "a good as Yale.
The Ellis have made many changes
and lone a lot Of experimenting since
losing 20 w. 4 j.. and 1t IL believed
their material is now placed To better
advantage. Hut following the defeat
by Virginia an improvement was r.
ported from New Haven. OF which there
was no sign In The W. 4 j. game.
So /. the Blue really il OH the improve
deeds n not reports are needed I"
convince people Of the brace. tolgat.
formations haven't made any progress
against III" Yale varsity in I'll" week :
practice and to-day will show whether
Colgate will make any progress. Some
times a good deal depends on WI" IS
conducting tho formations.
Colgate's reputation results mostly
from ono game. that With the Army. The
Yale team certainly has been through
harder fighting, II that is any help. Col
gates season has been one of smoo''
travel, while Yalc's has been orc Of
bumps and falls. The Blue line all
season has been very strong from tackle
TO tackle. N has Colgate's, with better
md play by the latter. colgatc's backs
are better drilled, especially In interior
cnce, because they have played together
more. hut there's better hackficld ma
,erlal in the rough a: New Haven.
Harvard, meeting Penn state. has
n sitter game than the Tigers. who
engage the Crimson next saturday.
Penn state Is, on performances TO date.
a combination in the W. Il J.-Colgate
class. which means dangerous aea!nst
anybody. \ clear cut victory Over
Penn Is Penn st 10 best performance.
That, together Win the fact that this
I team tied Harvard last year and re-
tains p,a ycrs who were consp.cuouS IN
IN. plng--an expert forward pass pair,
for instancc-forms the basis for he
lief that I%iaughton's men have another
cxactlng anair on their hands.
! still it is doubtful II state is as
formidable as Cornell. and AS Harvard
has come along since the repulse by
the I,hacans Penn State will rul
against a stronger Harvard than Cor
mel! did. II there il the making a,
Harvard OF another first class eleven
Of which proof has not vet been fur
