startling followers OF the game tnlS
Harvard and Princeton. which will
meet at Cambridge next Saturday
viii De seen this afternoon in games
which are calculated to keep them on
edge, but not to press too hard. The
Crimson will take on Florida for the
first time and counts on winning by
comfortable margin without the use
of some OF it's regulars. The Tigers
will encounter Swarthmore-and here
there may be bit OF fight, but
Princeton need not palpitate with
trepidation. AS for Yale, it takes on
Brown in the twenty-eighth meeting
of a series which dates all the way
back to 1SSo-and the Bears promise
to make things very interesting in
deed.
If your prediction is for superior
brand of football regardless OF the fine
background of traditional rivalry and
the coming struggle among the Big
Three you will do we'll to take in the
game at the Polo Grounds, where
Lafayette will have it out with Wash
>ington and jefferson.
Have Remarkable Records.
Neither eleven has been beaten In two
years. Both are under the impression
that they are to battle for the cham
pionship of the East-a laudabls in
centive even If it lacks the sanction OF
the majority. Many experts hold that
Lafayettes eleven just now Is the strong
est in the country. Washington and
Jefferson points with pride to Its score
less tie with California last New Years
Day. and comedies nothing to anybody
East or West.
The afternoon will be marked by two
intersectional contests. Syracuse WIN
entertain the team from Nebraska and
Pennsylvania will meet Alabama. the
Cornhuskers have come to this neck o.
the woods with more praise than per-
haps has been heaped on any other In
vader. Western critics and coaches say
that Nebraska has the greatest team In
all these United States That may be-
and then again it may be that Missouri
Valley will have to be substituted fol-
"all these United States" Syracuse
wants that game for many reasons, one
of which dates back to 1919. In thar
year Nebraska dropkicked the Orange
into submission in a tough argument
3 to o.
The contest at the Polo Grounds will
not be the only game in this city. CO.
lumbia will not be seen here, for 1t goes
to Ithaca for the tenth meeting with
Cornell. and Columbia needs lot OF
good wishes. But Fordham will stay
home to give battle to Springfield. which
last Saturday sprang big surprise BY
beating Detroit. New York University,
which will tackle Fordham on Tuesday
Election Day-will act the host r.
Trinity. which in recent years has not
made N. Y. U. sit up nights and worry.
c. c. y. Y, which has yet to win a
game, but has been making progress
nevertheless, hopes to break the Ice
against the New York Aggies. Stevens
has another hard assignment. as 1t plays
Delaware at Hoboken.
Good Game for Dartmouth.
Dartmouth. with Cornell to be met
here next Saturday, may get more action
than 1t wants from Boston University,
which outdie Brown on attack last Sat-
urday, but failed because of the superior
defense of the Bears. At Washington.
Georgetown will begin it's defense of the
Catholic college championship OF the
East against Holy Cross. Colgate will
play Lehigh at Binghamton.
The minor college classics will be
started with the annual battle between
Wesleyan and Amherst. These rivals
have been having II out since Hector
was a pup-and this time Amherst is
not the favorite. However, the sons of
Lord Jecf held Oberlin to a touchdown
last Saturday and may have a surprise
in store for the Middletown eleven.
Williams will meet Rensselaer, Polye
unbeaten team. Maine will be asked to
clinch the championship of the Pine
Tree State by beating Bowdoin while
Bates will meet the Massachusetts Ag-
gies and Tufts engages Middlebury.
Dickinson's unbeaten team mays be
stopped by Gettysburg, but that Is
doubtful. The Navy. having scored a
great triumph yesterday over Penn
state. will enjoy a rest this afternoon
but the Army will roll into action
against st. Bonaventurc, which will give
Major DAILY chance to give his entire
squad a good workout
Pittsburgh may get liveIIer game
than 1t wants from little Geneva, which
always turns out a good eleven. Buck
nell seems TO have the Muhlenberg game
well In hand, Hobart appears likely TO
Leaf Union, Hamilton is favored over
st Lawrence and Haverford should beat
Guilford. which is coming up from North
Carolina.
LAFAYETTE-w.A AND j.
The game at the Polo Grounds will
be the fifth between Lafayette and
Washington and Jeffcrson--ani will
break a tie for each has two decisions
over the other. They met for tho FIRST
time in 1898 and the Presidents won
by 16 to 0. They did not mingle again
until 1902, when Lafayette evened
things up, IL TO 0. II was Lafayette
Jaw. and J. 6. in 1906, and w. and
y. IL. Lafayette o, In 1915. They have
rot met for six years-and Lafayette
looks like a winner again.
In thirty-two games spread over n
period OF two years neither Lafayette
nor washington and Jefferson has been
beaten. In these two years Lafayette's
shining achievements have been two tri-
unphs over Pittsburgh--s to last year
Rnd z TO this season. Last fall wash
ington and Jefferson also beat the Pam
theirs, 60 0.
Both Lafayette and the Presidents
present powerful lines. brilliant hack
nelds--strong attacks which combine
rvery fine development In modern foot
ball. They can rush the ball, they can
run the ball. they can work the forward
pass In its highest forms Both terms
arc mighty well coached--Lafayette by
pr. John Sutherland, the former Pitts
burgh lineman, and the Presidents by
Earl Neale.
