Princeton = Harvard Clash
Heads Schedule of In
portant Battles.
BY II. C. BYRD.

Big foot bail games are scheduled
tomorrow in all sections.
In the east, south, middle west and
pionship caliber and great sectional in
terest. Some games will be of general
interest to all followers of the game
While the game is not looked for
ward to with the same acclaim this
year as in former seasons, there is no
doubt that great Importance attaches
to the Princeton-HarVard meeting be-
cause it is the first between members
of the big three" since 1916. That in
itself should cause the game to be looked
upon more intently than otherwise would
be the case. However, it is true that
Yale, Harvard and Princeton are not
monopolizing the headlines in the news
papers as they formerly did. and pub
lie interest is not SO conferred upon
them.
Just few days ago, since the defeat
of Princeton by West Virginia, a letter
came to Washington from Primo eton
which ended with these words: So ]
strongly advise that you bet your money
on Princeton to beat Harvard and Yale. -
That shows & confidence at Princeton
which usually does not abound there In
any too great quantities, as far as Har-
ward and Yale are concerned. 1t takes
confidence to hand out Information" OF
that kind. toe, and, as any old Prince
ton man will confirm, it costs lot OF
money to back it.
Most prominent of the other games in
the east are those to be played between
Pennsy lvania and Dartmouth at New
York, Washington and Jefferson ano
Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh, Yale ana
Brown at New Haven, Penn State AND
Lehigh at Penn State. and Georgetown
and Navy at Annapolis. In the middle
west there are to be played the games
between Michigan and Chicago, Mis-
souri, and Nebraska, Minnesota and Hill
nois. In the south University of Vir-
GINA meets Georgia at Athens, Wash
ington and Lee plays Georgia Tech al
Atlanta, Vandebilt goes against Ala
bama at Nashville.
Two local teams will play out of towr
and two are to have games on then
home fields. Georgetown and Maryland
State go to Annapolis for games with
the Navy and st. Johns, while Gallau-
Diet meets Western Maryland on it's owr
field and Catholic University plays the
Boiling Field eleven at Brookland-
trouble at Annapolis. The Blue anG
Gray eleven knows full we'll that 1t viii
be against one OF the strongest comb
nations in the east. and that the odds
are against it. 1t also is fully aware
Of the upsets in foot ball this season
and has seen team after team tumble
when it was supposed to be stronger
and better than the eleven to which Il
lost. Whether or net Georgetown wins
tomorrow. it intends to give the Navy
the greatest battle of the season and will
| not disappoint the many spectators who
are certain to make the journey to An.
napolis to see the contest.
Maryland State ought to win from
st. Johns, notwithstanding the string

The College Park eleven has taken only
one game out of five played, but two Of

very evenly fought and the other two
