HARVARD PLAYS
TIGERS TODAY
AT PRINCETON
Eastern Foot Ball Approaches
Climax Of Season With
This Game Probably
Most Attractive.

|
ball approaches the climax of the
season tomorrow with the playing
of one of the classiest contests of
the year and several games which
will weigh heavily in the final align
ment of the elevens. From many
angles the Harvard-Princeton battle
at Princeton will attract the interest
of foot ball followers in all parts Of
the country. As an annual strug-
gle surrounded with traditions ap-
preaching the Yale-Princeton and
the Harvard-Yale games, thousands
of alumni will watch the scoring
with keenest interest.
Harvard enters the game as log
ical favorite. but, nevertheless, sur
rounded with an air of foot ball
mystery. The Crimson eleven is
composed of fast, powerful players
and the team has not yet been
scored upon. The Harvard schedule
has not been as trying as that
of Princeton.
On occasions, however, the Grim
son has shown great offensive
strength, with a we'll equipped at
tack, both in the running and over
head advance of the ball.
Interest Centers on Tigers.
In many respects the interest cen
ters in the work Of Princeton. Al
though defeated by both Colgate
and West Virginia, the Orange and
Black is certain to develop far
stronger game against Harvard and,
with the possible exception of the
Yale contest a week away, may be
expected to throw all its power and
resources against the Crimson.
Under these conditions, Harvard
will have to uncover better foot ball
than the team has yet shown in
order to win decisively.
| ,Notre Dame comes out OF the
west for its annual scrimmage with
the Army eleven. Judging from the
record of the visitors the cadets will
be forced to play their hardest foot
ball if they are to hold the fast In
diana eleven in check. Pittsburgh is
another team to entertain dangerous
opponents in the Washington and
Jefferson combination. A peculiar
triangle is involved in this contest,
for Syracuse defeated Pittsburgh by
"a to 3, only to go down before
Washington and Jefferson by Is to
o. a week later as the result of two
50-yard runs in the closing minutes
of the game.
Pennsylvania and Dartmouth can
be expected to furnish hard strug-
gle in their game at the Polo
grounds in this city, for they are
, very evenly matched. Dartmouth
has not lost game this season al
though playing with Colgate last
Saturday. Pennsylvania lost to Penn
State, this being the only defeat on
the Ouakers' record. Yale looks for
her usual hard game with Brown,
but counts upon winning by small
margin.
Two other interesting and uncer-
tain contests loom in the meeting
of Rutgers and Boston college at
Boston and the Lehigh-Pennsyl-
i. vania State game at State college,
Pennsylvania. The caliber of Bos-
ton college was established in its
victory over Yale. Lehigh had a
clean slate until Pittsburgh de-
feated it, IA to o. week ago, and
J Penn State has had only one set
, back, the loss of the Dartmouth
. game by score of Is to IS.
Other leading teams of the east
, appear to have a fair margin of
safety in the games Of tomorrow.
