HARVARD AND PRINCETON
 NV ANNUAL CLASH TODAY
Jake SIage Not Included in Early Lineup University of Pennsylvania and Penn State Prepare For Struggle-Fordham and Holy Cross Battle is On Yale Reorganized to Meet Maryland Syracuse
 Georgetown Duel One of Most Interesting of Week.

New York. Nov. 6 P-Football heroes Of Harvard and Princeton were cast In the role of minute men today as more than 50,000 gathered to see the rivals of more than fifty years standing grapple in the first conflict of the Big Three series at Cambridge.
 Jake Slagle, star of sensational triumphs over Yale and Harvard a year ago, was not included in the early lineup announced as almost certain to start for the moleskin- clad band from the jungle. Art French, whose spectacular dash for a touchdown beat Dartmouth, like wise was missing from the battle array of the Crimson. But both were expected to be called upon, and in Slagle, Orange and Black supporters pinned chief hope for victory.
 Observers expected Princeton to darken the air with passes, for Har- ward in its impressive rise from a disappointing start is conceded by critics to have developed a powerful vanguard and a strong secondary defense against running attacks. Overhead, however, the Crimson ap- peared mystified by the baffling aerial assaults Of Geneva, Holy Cross and Dartmouth.
 Of all the previous 2s battles be- tween the rivals. no struggle ap- pearsd more in doubt than that of today. Although Harvard has been made slight favorite, inspired Princeton teams have scared to so many magnificent victories from apparently hopeless backgrounds that Harvard supporters would give no better than even money in the wagering.
 Bent on regaining their winning stride before next weeks Princeton grapple, Yale warriors were ready to take the field at almost full strength against Maryland at New Haven. Noble still was missing from the backfield, but Kline and Foote were back to support Bunnell and Holabird.
 New York university. aiming for it's seventh straight victory. was steeled for q hard battle against Carnegie Tech, but confidence ran high as a result of the return to the lineup of Captain Frank Briante at fullback.
 Sharing the spotlight with these games were four other outstanding struggles bringing together Penn sylvania's magicians and rugged Penn State; Fordham and Holy Cross Pittsburgh and West Virginia and Syracuse and Georgetown.
 To the many losses of Syracuse was added the name of Quarterback Charley Cook on the eve of today's conflict. Cook injured his knee in the last practice session but Myles Friedman, who was hurt in the Army game, was back at his post in the center of the line.
 There were indications of 5000 crowd as the Nittany Lions drew up their forces to sample Pennsyl- vania's sleight of hand. Pennsyl- vania announced the same powerful lineup which faced. Chicago. Will liams and Illinois, and was favored to win.
