Harvard Faces.
Indiana Eleven
Inf eatllreCanne
First Big Intersectional Clash
at Cambridge To-day; Lo.
cal Colleges in Real Tests

The most important football game on
today's schedule is that between Har-
ward and Indiana University, at Cam
bridge. This will be the first inter
sectional clash of the season, and as
such it is expected the contest will be
a real struggle in which hard play will
be shown.
Indiana came East with the expecta-
tion of beating the Crimson. The
Westerners already have openly ex-
pressed their intentions. The fact
that so many of the students of the
university are making the trip to Bos-
ton, bound Pullman style, and that
many others are coming in on the
rods" indicates the Irdianans are con-
tident of victory.
What is more, ever since early Sep
tember the Indiana candidates have
been working and preparing with the
Harvard game in mind This is their
first trip to the Atlantic seaboard and
naturally the Westerners are anxious
to make q good impression.
The Indiana crew is reported to be
fit. 1t had a good record last season
and, seeking further glory and fame,
was induced to play the Crimson in the
stadium
Well Informed About Rivals
Harvard knows considerable about
the team 1T is facing to-day, about it's
style of play, and also its poss Utilities.
1T Is part of the so-called Harvard
tA hn,r all
secuted before they are tackled, and,
although Indiana is probably right on
edge and ready for the fray, it is likely
1T will be handed little surprise.
1t will be recalled that Michigan scv-
eral years ago visited Cambridge
prmed for the victory, but was turned
back disappointed and beaten. Last
year Centre College went to Cambridge
with a similar IDEA. However. lnai-
ana's chances of defeating the Crimson
are better than were those of Centre,
because Harvard is not regarded as
good this fall as it was last year.
Yale will play North Carolina Uni
versity to-day snd should have no diff
ficulty in winning. Whether the Ellis
get anything Of value out of the con-
test depends upon the amount of oppo-
sltlon the Soutuherners offer. The
e.
Blue very much.
Princeton meantime will be playing
Colgate In the last several years the
Tigers have always found the Hamil-
ton students willing and able oppo-
nents But the Nassau crew is not
llke!y to find any such foe this year
Since the departure of Larry Bankhart
two years ago Colgate has not been
very successful on the gridron.
Hard Task for N. Y. u.
Each of the local colleges has an
interesting game cardcd for this after
noon. Followers of the New York
University team are hoping its eleven
Will defeat Brown. The game will be
played at Providence victory for
the locals would stir up enthusiasm
among the University Heights students
and give them a flying start for the
season.
Fordham will meet Catholic Univer-
sity on Fordham Field This should
be a good scrappy game at least The
Maroons showed q speedy attack last
Saturday, and if their defense can be
brought up to that standard it t. viii
probably give the Washingtonians d
fine trimming.
As for Columbia, it will have to show
considerable to atone for it's beating by
Amherst last week. In meeting Wes-
icyan this afternoon on South Field the
locals are facing q team far superior,
at least at this time, to the Amherst
OUTFIT. 1t is reported that since their
downfall last week the Columbians
have been taken to task and have i'm
proved rcmendously. That remains to
be seen. The squad is a likely looking
group of players. and to-days game
will tell whether the Blue and White is
advancing or standing still.
The Army players will be kept busy
IN playing another double header. Mid
dlebury and Lebanon Valley will be the
opponents Of the cadets on the plains
to-day If the West Pointers suffer
another defeat in one of these games il
is not likely double-headers will be
scheduled next season
Penn State, Pennsylvania "a, Syracuse
ana Lafayette have no strenuous oppo-
sltIon to overcome day, and should
win their games handily.
