Indiana Gridders
to Meet Harvard
In Stadium Today

New York, Oct. Among the
great number of gridiron conflicts
tetween leading eastern college
elevens tomorrow the intersectional
affair that brings Indiana Univer-
sity against Harvard, stands out as
| the most interesting.
The Holsters are making their
nrst invasion of the east and like the
Center College eleven that played
sensationally against the Crimson
last year, are ready for the fray with
do or die" determination.
Arriving at Cambridge Yesterday,
the Indiana squad gave the loyal
| Harvard enthusiasts something to
think about Having marched to
| easy victories in their two games this
season, Indiana warriors looked a
worthy foe. The Crimson has not
Jared so well this season. having re-
! ceived jolt last week against Holy
Cross when il managed to win by a
scant three points
All of the other contests scheduled
! for the cast promise battles. Prince
toms foe will be Colgate and as these
teams did not meet last season there
Is no means of comparing them. The
Tiger eleven. however, appears one
of the greatest of the seasons east
! ern elevens.
North Carolina will be pitted
against Yale, who defeated them last
year Fl to 0.
West Virginia will be at Pitts
! burgh. The mOuntaineers made a
good showing against the Panthers
last year and are reported to have a
strong offensive. Rochester will be
at Cornell. The 1920 meeting of
these teams resulted in a lively tus-
| sic, with Cornell winning by touch
| down.
The Army will play two games
with Middlebury and Lebanon Valley
| as opponents. Both were easy for
the Cadets last year
| Nays opponent is Western Re
serve; and Wesleyan, which defeat
cd Columbia vast year will try to
repeat the performance.

Bowdoin Expects
to Give Williams
Lots of Trouble b,

Bowdoin College, Oct. About
800 students turned out at the sta
ton this morning to give the football
a royal scndoff for the Williams
game to be played at Williamstown
Saturday afternoon. The team has
been working faithfully all the week
in preparation for what is expected
to be very hard game, the decisive
victory of last Saturday giving the
White warriors a great deal of en-
couragement and lift in morale, as
well as bringing them together into
a strong, well knit, fast working ag-
gregation.

pleased with the work of some of the
new men. in evidence of which he in
