mouth meeting Princeton, Harvard
battling Cornell and Yale facing
Washington and Jefferson, there
should be enough college yells and
songs In the east today to make a
noise in the west If the far west
only cared to hear it.
1t Is altogether probable there will
be three separate and distinct kind of
noises for these big football games.
In the first place, Cambridge should
supply the bloodacry Of revenge; Yale,
meeting Washington and jefferson,
should help along the revenge stuff.
but there should be mixed in a little
exultation because of the faith that
is held in Tad Jones' team; Princeton
Is expected to turn out just a pure

Cornell stands a better chance of
coming through victorious. than any
of the other teams booked to do
stunts with the big Three"
The Ithaca gang has not lost a
game in more than two years and
this year no opponents have scored
on them.
Cornell took the measure Of Har-
ward year ago and didn't even al
low the Crimson husllies to get across
the goal line.
Secret Practice.
Percy Haugilton, the Harvard
coach thinks enough of CornelPs
chances to make considerable prepare
ton for the struggle. He had his
warriors locked up yesterday in Sec
ret practice and he is expected to turn
loose some of the plays today that
he had saved for the benefit of Yale
only.
Princeton isn't in the same boat
with Harvard by any means, except
in that Speedy Rush's long counte-
nance has taken some Of the pep out
of the jungletown rooters. At Old
Nassau they are confident Dart

Princeton has good defense, Il

ers the east ever has seen and by his

goaling has come to be a pet hobby
Of Dave Tibbott's.
.. Yale Has Hard Task.
Yale faces a hard task. For two
years in succession the Washington
and jefferson team has wandered in
to New Haven for a few hours and
returned to Washington, Pa. with the
long end Of the score. Previous to
that, Washington and Jefferson had
played Yale to scoreless tie.
II the Pennsylvania eleven is able
to put across victory today it will
have the distinction of being the only
team with the exception of Harvard
to trample the Blue three times in
succession.
It appears from here that Bob Fol
we'll, Pennsylvania coach, has bit Off
a hunk that is a size too large for his
face in the game with Pittsburgh this
afternoon at Pittsburgh. After max
ing grand showing against Pennsyl-
vania state a week ago and winning
the praises Of football critics every
where, Folwell has been busy figuring
out a way to down Glenn Warmers
gang.
The Army and Navy have compare

being scheduled with Villa Nova at
West Point and the Navy being
carded for Georgia at Annapolis
