 Another club that wants to play here Sunday is the famous Pere Marquette team of Boston. The Fit ton A. c. wants to come here also this weekend and on top of those, Brennan of Norwalll wants to bring his An-Norwalk outfit here this Sunday.
 Besides these five, Atlantic City has wired an urgent request to have Manager Daley bring All-New Brit ain to Atlantic City Sunday.
 But, Manager Dai1cy has already contracted for the appearance Of the Torpedo Station team of New port here on Sunday and unless the Torpedo management cancels dur ing the week, the game. will be on On the other hand, Manager Daley will try to book each of the teams mentioned above for appearances here so that the fans of this city will have a whirlwind finis to the 1926 football season after number of disappointments during the year.

 The Harvard student body and faculty do not approve Of the Lam- poon's Princeton issue. according toI another letter VIC have received from our Boston correspondent. The Lam poon's brand of humor, he says, has been. pretty weak of late, but inc jokes and cartoons, which are al ways to be expected, were really less offensive than the leading edi- torial This stated boldly that rela- lions between the two colleges were not pleasant and never had been.
 Harvard has always treated Princeton shabbily and acted super for to it. hc>admits. never recognizing the Tiger as an equal to Yale and Harvard. This seems one for "the book" as Princeton has proved for two successive years that her foot ball teams, at least, are far better than those of either of the other colleges.
