Jake Slagle, star Princeton back.
will get hit harder on next Saturday
afternoon than he has in all his pre-
vious games together. To be tackled
by Yale ends or by Allen, defensive
fullback of the Dark Blue, is to be
tackled.
PENNSYLVANIA and Pitt hook up in a
game which of late years has come to
he Of great Importance to Pennsyl-
vania. bringing together as X does
representative teams from each end OF
one Of the greatest CommonWealths
of the Union.
Syracuse and Colgate meet at SYRIA
cuse in their annual battle, which to
each is more important than all the
other part OF the foot ball season.
Michigan and Ohio State hook up. and
down at Atlanta Georgia Tech and
Georgia are to meet for the first time
in years Up in New England an
other real foot ball classic" takes
place in the meeting of Andover and
Exeter Dartmouth goes out to Chi
cago to meet Stages eleven. and the
Green, which stands pretty well at the
top of the heap in the East. is a good
enough opponent for anybody.
While Saturday, November 2l. usu-
ally is an off day. more big games be-
tween great rivals are listed. Again
of its game with Harvard, although
unless there is some kind OF COM
plete reversal on the part OF each
eleven, there will not be much to the
game as a game. Michigan meets
Minnesota in contest which is time
honored: Illinois plays Ohio State in
what should be one of the finest con-
tests of the year. and out in California
the State university of that State
faces Leland Stanford in what Is the
Yale Harvard affair of the West. La
fayette and Lehigh have their annual
set-to and so do F'ordham and George
town.
And these games do not take into
considera ton the games scheduled on
Thanksgiving day. AND II IS o.
Thanksgiving that some OF the biggest
games OF the year are played in the
South.
Princeton's decisive victory over

vas generally thought that Princeton
would win from Harvard, but that
there would be such great disparity
between it and the Crimson was never
dreamed. Just what is wrong with
the Harvard eleven is not known. but
certainly something must be radically
out of tune Harvard is said TO pos
sess an eleven that physically Is
strong enough and backheld OF
great potential power. but 50 far 1t
has not been able to translate these
advantages into touchdowns.
Whether or not 1t is the coaching
system, or rather the lack of coach
ing system. is a question, but What-
ever may be the reason, in all HkeH-
hood the Crimson will make deSper-
ate efforts to find ii before another
grid season arrives. While the weak
ness of the Harvard team against
Princeton Is dwelt on here. 1t should
not be lost sight of that Princeton
probably is stronger than it has been
given credit for being. Certainly 1t
must have shown almost everything
a foot ball team could show to run up
81 points against the Crimson, even If
Harvard is but n shell of what it
was under Haughton.
No other Dobie-coached eleven has
suffered beating such as Dartmouth
gave Cornell last week. And 1t must
be remembered that Cornell had pre-
viously defeated Columbia, supposed
" one of the strongest teams in the
East Nothing need be said about
Dartmouth, except that 1t is COM
hination of foot ball strength, versa
tility and intelligence that seems
likely to stand out at the end of the
year If Dartmouth whips Chicago
this week by any such decisive score
as 1t has beaten Harvard and Cornell,
it probably will stand out as the
greatest team of the year. -.
