o'I uowever. those who think that the

Sts-s is no better fighting team in the

should have the advantage.
The contest promises to be productive
- much scoring, inasmuch as both
teams are stronger on offense than on
defense. If such proves to be the case
shs crowd will enjoy one of the most
spectacular as we'll as most exciting
contests ever played in this city. The
result looks like toss-up.
Cornell. which has been travelling on
hirh all season. will face a real test to-
dsy when it lines up against Dart
mouth at Ithaca. The Ithacans have q
sne opportunity this afternoon to hand
the Green q jolt, something they are
especially desirous of doing and which
thew haven't been able to accomplish
in years

Tor the proteges of the doleful Dobie
"a come through. Several knowing
football men declare the big Red eleven
hasn't chance, that their previous i'm
uressive looking victories did not mean
thing. and that Dartmouth, as usual
will be the victor. However, it is i'm
possible to see how a team which has
ridden roughshod over all of it's op-
ronents TO date can crumble, and, in
ssmuch as Dobie had one sad expert
ence last year, it is likely he will take
good care to guard against a similar
disaster.
The New Hampshire students, with
Robertson in the lineup, are an even
money bet; but the big fellow is said
to be in very bad condition-he is the
hard luck player in this game-and
without Robertson Dartmouth is not
the same team.
Harvard Coaches Confident
According TO reports emanating from
Cambridge, Harvard is quite confident
about the outcome of its game. with
Centre to-day. But the Crimson will
do well to watch its step. The Harvard
coaches will use g team Of substitutes.
The fact that Centre is not saying
much this year indicates the Southern
ers have learned a lesson as well IS
! the evils Of premature publicity.
II Centre was able to give the Cam
bridge students q scare last year it is
certainly qualified to do so this year.
Harvard is not as good as it was last
!ear whereas Centre should be better.
The latter has an experienced eleven.
Ihornhill, former Pitt star, is assisting
Moran this year. The Harvard coaches
are not being fooled. They are prob
ABLY expecting hard game, and they'll
probably not be disappointed.

nevertheless are capable of putting up

Princeton is playing about the easiest

GVirginia is the opponent of the Mas
