Both Princeton and Harvard played
poor foot ball last week, but In a
game such as they play with Yale
there seldom is little to choose be-

Syracuse and Colgate play their
annual game at Syracuse. and that
contest has just about the same at
traction for western New York ana
for Syracuse men and Colgate men
generally as has the Yale-Princeton
game on a larger scale. This year
Syracuse seems much the stronger
of the two. but, just as In other such

State desires. to be a state university
and Pennsylvania does not want 1t to
be that; each institution tries to
show a very close relationship to the
state, and each strives to outdo the
other in every line of work. 1t Is
on the athletic field that the public
gets its only comparison, and 1t Is

vania, with a greatly weakened team
as a result of injuries, seems to be
