PRINCETON AND
HARVARD PLAY
Days Bic CAME

NEW YORK. Nov. 7.-Eastcrn foot
ball approaches the climax Of the sea-
son tomorrow with the playing or one
Of the classic contests Of the year ana
several games which will weigh hcay-
lily in the final alignmcnts of the clcN-
, ems. From many angles the Harvard
Princeton battle at Princeton, VIII eX-
, tract the interest of football followers
In all parts Of the country. As an an
, nual struggle surrounded with traditions
approaching the Yal"-PrinCcton and the
Harvard-Yale games. thousands OF alum
nj will watch the scoring with kccnest
! interest.
Harvard enters the game as sogtCal
favorite to defeat Princeton. but. ncY-
erthelcss, surrounded with an air or
football 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 and
the Cambridge combination has not been
as severely tried as the Tigers. On ac-
casions. however. the Crimson has
shown great offensive strength. with
well-equipped attack both in the run
ming and overhead advance Of the ball.
In many respects the interest CCnters
In the work Of Princeton. Although
defeated by both Colgate and West Nir-
ginia. the Orange and Black Is certain
to develop a far stronger game against
Harvard and. with the possible exccp-
ton Of the Yale contest week away,
may be expected TO throw all its power
and resources against the CRIMSON.
, Under these conditions Harvard may
look for q bitter battle and Will have To
uncover better football than the team
has yet shown in order to win decisive
Ily
Whether Harvard has this ability IN
reserve only the game itself can dis
| close.
Notre Dame comes out Of the west
for its annual scrimmage with the Army
! eleven. Judging from the record or the
/ visitors the cadets will be forced to
play their hardest football II they are
to hold the fast and versatile Indiana
eleven IN check.
Pittsburgh Is another team TO enter
tain dangerous opponents in the wash
ington and Jefferson combination. \
| peculiar triangle Is involved IN this
contest for Syracuse defeated Fits
burgh. "a to only to 60 down before
| Washington & jefferson IS to q, n week
I later, as the result Of two My yard
runs in the closing minutes Of tho
game.
Pennsylvania and Dartmouth can be
expected to furnish a hard struggle in
their game at the Polo Grourds IN this
city for they are evenly matched. Dart
mouth has not lost a game this season
although tying with Colgate last Satur-
day. Pennsylvania lost to Penn State
this being the only defeat on the Quak-
ers' record. Yale looks for her usual
hard game with Brown. but coun,s up
on winning by a small margin. Neither
team has played q mutual opponent
this autumn
Two other interesting and uncertain
contests loom in the meeting of Rutgers
and Boston college at Boston. ana the
Lehigh-Pern State game at Staro col
lcge, Pennsylvania LehiEh had a clean
slate until Pittsburgh defeated it IA to
a week ago. and Penn State has had
only one setback. the loss of the Dart
month game by a 16 to Is score. Tho
oother leading teams Of the east appear
to have O fair margin Of safety in the
game Of tomorrow. The principal con-
tests follow:
Harvard at Princeton; Notre Dame at
West Point; Brown at Yale: Penn and
Dartmouth at New York; Carnegie Tech
, at Cornell: Washington and Jefferson at
Pittsburgh; Rutgers at Boston college;
Georgetown at Annapolis; Rochester at
