afternoon will be featured by the strug-
gle between Brown and Colgate, the first
clash Of the season between two teams
OF equal standing AMI strength. The
game carries added Interest because of
the fact that 1t Is played in celebration
OF the Tooth Anniversary of the Maroon
institution and that II Is the only big
home game for Colgate this season.
Larry Bankart's boys will rule ia
vorites over the Bruins for several rea
sons. y
In the one game that Colgate has
played the Maroon showed a more con-
sistent running attack than Brown has
displayed this year. The Colgate line
charged with determination and opened
holes In the Susquehanna wall through

gains last Saturday. Colgate defeate

On the other hand. the Brown attack
has ffozen up and died repeatedly lust
as an opponents goal line would come
wthin striking distance. Brown won
from Rhode Island. 81 to 0, and from
Bowdoin. to 0. In the Bowdoin game
Brown outrushed its opponents by
good margin, but lacked the necessary
punch In the last twenty yards, barring
the one occasion when Jenail went over
for touchdown

This will be the sixth meeting be-
tween the two teams Although Brown
has won three times against one de-

through its big victory in 1915 holds
the margin in points, "a to 81.
O'Nenl will take his Syracuse eleven
into West Point to play Capt. Days
Army eleven In what will be the second
most interesting game OF the day. The
Orange will rule a favorite. despite the
fact that O'NeilPs men had rather
hard time with Vermont last Saturday.
The Army attack lacks power, while
that OF Syracuse should be able to pene-
trate the cadets defence for at least two
touchdowna
Big Three Have Easy Games
Bob Fishers scintilalting back field
should have a field day when Colby
offers itself up to Harvard this after
noon. Fisher will have several regu-
lars on the side lines, but Hsrvard's
chances will be none the less rosy. The
team has been showing much power In
practice this week. and has suffered no
Ill effects from its hard game with Bos-
ton College last Saturday.
| Dr. Sharpe will have a good chance to
try out all the material he wants to at
New Haven this afternoon when Yale
clashes with North Carolina, as the
Southern eleven is not expected to offer
much resistance. Five distinct back
4 fields have been tried out by the Yale
coaches during the week, and it is pos
sible that all of these men will get a
chance against the Tar Heels
| Princeton, in its game against La
fayette will'have an opponent that is a
shade tougher than those met by the
other two members Of the big three.
but the Tigers ought to win without
great difficulty. Roper has been work
ing to perfect a fast open attack, suited
70 his light and fleet footed bac<field.
Pennsylvania should get nothing more
than a good workout against the Della
ware eleven. Folwell seems to have
constructed a powerful scoring machine
at Philadelphia that augurs evil for the
falls visitors to Franklin Field.
Three Hard struReIes.
Despite all Of the easy picking" that
these teams have stored up for them
selves to-day, there are at least three
members of the big eleven that have
hard tasks ahead. They are Dartmouth.
Cornell and Pittsburg.
OF the three, Dartmouth should get
off with the least trouble. The big
Green team entertains the sturdy Mas
sachusetts Aggies IN Hanover, and will
have its hands full The Green ought
to win, however. even though the game
be close.
Cornell will have Williams for a
visitor on Schelkopf Field, Williams
literally ate Sol Metzgers Union eleven
alive last week, and the big Red team
has resigned itself to bitter fight.
Cornelrs natural advantage, however,
ought to swing the balance to the side
OF the Ithacans in a Close hard game.
Glen Warmers Pittsburg team in its
second conflict of the season, will meet
nm opponent capable OF giving the
Painters q good fight The West Vir-
ginia eleven is Warmers antagonist to-
day Pitt ought to win, but whether II
; does or not cannot be told with any de-
gree of certainty until after the game,
since West Virginia always is a strong
fighting aggregation.
Columbia, too, will have a tough
afternoon with the fast little Vermont
team. This is the first game OF the
season for the Blue and White, barring
an impromptu tilt with the U. s. s.
Arizona last Saturday, while the Yer
mont men have had their baptism OF
fire against Syracuse The Orange de-
feated the Green Mountain boys, 27
to o, but at the opening Of the final
period Syracuse held only a point
advantage.
New York University, defeated by
Amherst to last week in the frst
game of the season. will be In clinton
this afternoon in battle with Hamilton,
Coach Longwell has made several shifts
in the Violet 'lineup since last Satur-
day and believes that his team IL strong
enough to win from the Clintonites.
Washington and jefferson will play
Carnegie Tech in Washington to-day
This should be a hard game. but w.
and ]. will have an edge and ought to
win. Penn State will have for n visitor
the Bucknell team which held Pennsyl-
, vania TO a scant l6 to o victory two
. weeks ago.
