this week. Princeton may be dcpend- , ed upon to light every m Oment of the going with sturdy courage and game ness. She has proved that she will do that even in the face of sure defeat The Harvard players will have the ad- vantage of experience and condition, however, and those are important matters. In bunting Scheerer of Princeton showed Saturday that he can hold his own with any of them but this was about the only depart ment of play that gave the Tigers supporters ground for encouragement in, the West Virginia game. The IT. gers seem utterly unable to solve well prepared forward passing attack, and Harvard is supposed to have de- veloDed it's aerial play to high de- gree of proficiency.
 Dartmouth FavOritc Over Penn.
 Of special interest to New ! ork 1ol- lowers of football, inasmuch as the game is to be played at the Polo grounds next Saturday, and Ot lmpOr- i tance in it's bearing upon the ultimate standing of the eastern eleVens IS the meeting between the University of | Pennsylvania and Dartmouth. In pre- yious years Dartmouth has won most of it's games with Penn. In 1913, their
  34 to 21, and the following year strengthened the dose with a Al to o score. Dartmouth won, to g. in 1915, and the game the following fall was a to tie. Last year, with $. A. T. C. teams in the field, Penn. turned the tables and won, 21 to 0. On the performances of the present season Dartmouth is the favOritc for next Saturday. The big Green team defeat ed Penn State, 19 to 13, and Penn State vanuuished Penn. 10 to 0, but the deceptiveness of comparative scores is an ofttold tale in football.
 In the muddy going of Saturday any team had an excuse for lapse from form, and Penn's attack certainly was not favored by the conditions. More over, Penn State has undoubtedly i'm proved since it's meeting with Dart mouth, though, by the same token, Dartmouth's form has probably ad- margin between Penn. and Penn State was even closer than the score indicates.
 DartmOuth's ma gnificent uphill bat tie to a tie with Colgate last Saturday naturally adds to it's prestige. In two of it's leading games this fall the Green has trailed it's opponents most of the way; only to come through with the points that in one case spelled Vic- tory, and in the other a tie with one of the greatest elevens of the east There is no mistaking Dartmouth s bulldog courage. The Green and the Red and Blue will be we'll matched in defense, and both likewise have good scoring machines. Robertson's drop kicking, bunting and forward passing l.. ,1- ant factor, and Penn will do well to keep an eye on the ubiquitous SWede, Youngstown, in covering her kicks. Dartmouth, on the other hand, is quite likely to find such a man as that ad- mrable all-around player, Captain Bell, among those unpleasantly pres ent. The tremendous power of the Penn attack, which was in evidence in all it's games this fall, more particu- larly against the strong Lafayette eleven but which was swallowed up in Saturdays mud, is something for any team in the country to regard with profound respect.
 Yale, which had an easy workout with Maryland State, will fl't Brown a more active opponent this weekend, but Yale ought to with with a fair amount of emphasis. Cornell will
 
 from her three successive attacks, in her game with Carnegie Tech. Lafay cite, Cornell's most recent conqueror, will probably gain an easy decisive vic tory over Dickinson.
 Sol Metzger's Union team gave Co., lumbia shock by holding the local eleven to a scorelcsS tie. COlumb bia outrushed and outpunted Union and showed more knowledge of football, but she could not deliver the winning punch. It is hard to analyze the trOu- ble with the Blue and White eleven. It has tho potentialty of a strong team, but it never meets it's own possi- bilities. The team plays the unbeat- en Stevens engineers, who gave such an admirable account of themselves against Rensselaer, on Saturday. Co., hum ba ought to win, but when it en- counters Wesleyan the following week a different story is sure to be told, unless Columb bia braces aStonishingly in the meanwhile
