uled for Saturday are of vital impor-
tance. The results will. it Is the gen.

Hill field. This will be the final con-
test between these teams. The first

With College Teams
The Princeton Harvard combat at
Cambridge is the first leg on the east

will play Dartmouth. the team that
actually outplayed Princeton; Cornell
meets Michigan, a western power, and
Pittsburgh, that defeated Pennsylvania
20 to 0, will be further tested by the
powerful Washington and Jefferson
eleven.
The fact that Princeton will be rep
resented by a veteran eleven in the
Cambridge stadium commands the re-
spect of Harvard men. The Tigers
strength is not underrated by those
who saw last years combat at Prince
ton. Princeton's victories over Tufts
and Dartmouth by small scores have
not created the impression at Cam
bridge that the Nassau eleven will
prove easy. On the contrary. Harvard
men believe that the Tigers have be-
gun to find themselves and may be ex-
pected to play their best game on Sat-
urday. The Tigers showed signs of O
brace in the game with Bucknell, al.
