the contest last Saturday against the

George Washington's game with

George Washington should win by
about as big a margin as 1t pIeases.
There are many good games sched-
uled tomorrow. More contests Of i'm
portance are to be played than have
been listed on any previous SATURDAY
this season. In the north and south
there are struggles impending which
should be well worth going many miles
to see.
BY far the biggest game is that at
Cambridge between Princeton and Har-
ward Much has been said regarding the
struggle. Most foot ball critics in the
north seem to figure the Crimson the
favorite. Notwithstanding the gloom
cast by the early-season defeat by
TUFTS. 1t is generally considered that
the machine-like team which now rep
resents Harvard will prove too strong
for the Tigers, and, Of course, the pres
tige won by Harvard elevens in the
past is expected to count for much.
There is one thing about the Prince
ton team which has before been men,
toned but which seems to have been
overlooked-that II is apparent the
squad has not been developed as rap
idly and brought forward to a state Of
greatest efficiency before the present
time. Last year Princeton undoubt ediy
was stronger when it defeated Dart
mouth SO decisively than when it met
Harvard and Yale short time after
1t will be noted that despite an appar-
emily weaker eleven at Dartmouth and
a stronger one at Princeton the Tigers
barely won from the Green.
Princeton has lot of veteran play
ers: so has Harvard. for that matter.
1t does not seem to make much differ
as far as the capabilities of individuals
are concerned. Princeton has not made
the mistake it did last season-that of
reaching its highest point of develop

to be d case of the system. employed by
John Rush versus that held to by Percy
Haughton.
Up at South Bethlehem, Lehigh and
Penn State are to clash in their an
nual struggle. Lehigh has not done
as well this season as Penn State,
though it has strong combination.
Penn State should be the winner, if
ances of the last two or three weeks.
The University of Michigan appears
at Ithaca against Cornell. The New
Workers want to win the big intersec-
tional contest to atone somewhat for
their defeat by Harvard. Michigan has
a good eleven. though it is not as
strong as some of the combinations
turned out by Yost. A victory by a
not indicate that it could be held
favorite over Cornell, despite the lat
ter's rather poor showing in the con-
test with Harvard. Cornell and Michi-
gan seem to be about an even match.
Ohio State, which now stands on an
even basis with Northwestern Univer-
city for the Western conference cham
pionship, meets Indiana. The In
eleven has not shown near
Ohio. and should not be able to win
University also ought to
get out of its game with Iowa with a
clean sheet. the latter not having prov
ed itself of exceptional worth.
A game is to be played at New Bruins

get the prominence given many others.

gers and West Virginia University are

Besides the struggue between Penn

are listed in Pennsylvania. Washington
