FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
Fans PerpIexed Over the Seasons
 Outlook

Football fans are somewhat per- plexed over the championship outlook just now. The recent comeback to earth of the University of Pennsyl- vania, the slow start of Harvard, and the wonderful consistency displayed by both Yale and Princeton has made some mighty interesting reading for the dopesteTs who make it a point to view their observations year in and year out in the papers of the country Early predictions last year had liar ward crowned with the championship honors. It didn't take long to find out that the Johnny Cambridge lads were the class of the field, but this season it's an entirely different mat ter. The Tigers, Bulldogs and Quak- CTS are all in the reckoning class and will have to be contended with
 After very discouraSing start due maybe to the absence of Coach Percy Haughton, Harvard is now dispatch of the great improvement shown in the team lately. What looked like somewhat of a hopeless task a few weeks ago. looms up now like a real fighting team. This is due co the fact that in Haughton, the Cambridge eleven has the games greatest plug ger the hardest coach in the universe, to work under. There's no chance to shirk, or loll around field while Haughton is on the job, and further more ne has no faVorlteS.
 Haughton Working Hard.
 Haughtonized Harvard expects big things of the famous coach again this year. Haughton knows this and is working harder than he ever has since assuming the responsibilities as foot ball coach. For the last few years Haughton has ha3 his Brickley and Mahan to build his team around. This made his job much easier one. This season he is without either and it means a lot of deep, study and careful coaching. There's no doubt but what Harvard will continue as a high pow cred machine, but one thing is cer- tain the team has lost considerable prestige among the followers of the game this season.
 Coach 'iSpeedy" Rush Of Princeton is just saving wood these days. Ow- ing to the fact that many of the mem bers of the Tiger eleven worked under him last season. the team IS thorough ly acquainted with his style of play, which means that his job of tuning up the Jungaleers for the big cam paign for the championship which starts Saturday in the game with Dartmouth will be a much easier one this season. Princeton has a wonder fully well balanced aggregation, and will give both Yale and Harvard a much closer rub for the honors than it did last season.
 Pennsy Fully Recovered
 It is evident that the University of Pennsylvania players have fully re- covered from the eventful slump they were in last season. when the team went to pieces completely long before the season was over. The Quakers have practically the same talent on hand as it had last year. the only diff ference in the teams makeup being that there is more friendliness be- tween the players and coaches. The Quakers also have Berry. the crack all-around athlete, who just returned from the border afker four months duty. Berry when handled properly is a team in himself. He doesn't know when he is licked and will make his presence felt with the Philadelphiahls this season. Judging from the easy manner in which the Quaker team cleaned up Penn State last week, Pennsylvania is once more ready to take it's place among the pig ones in the football world.
 Vale Returns to Its Own.
 Yale has gone far beyond expecta- tions in it's game to date. Coming back from such a discOuraging year as the Ellis had last season is no easy matter. but the New Havenites appar-
