The approaching climax of the pastern football season ta Indicated by t!e caliber of the games scheduled for d leclalon tomorrow. Harvard Har-vard will play Princeton at Cambridge; Cornell is to entertain Michigan at Ithaca; Yale will tackle Brown at New Haven, and Pennsylvania, and Dartmouth are to clash at Philadel jhta. These are the leading lead-ing contests of the day, but there are several others which fall only a point below be-low In. popular interest and which promise to be equally hard-fought. Chief attention will naturally center on the meeting betvjeeu the Harvard and Princeton elevens.1 as each in turn will lace Yaia within the next week or two, ; and the victor of the triangular series will be a decided lector in the awarding, of the gridiron honors of the section. Princeton goes to Cambridge confident that the Orange and Black will triumph, 1 notwithstanding that the wagerfng slightly slight-ly favors Harvard.

Inner gridiron circles are agog with tales of aome remarkable new plays the Nassau eleven has in reserve. If such is the case it is likely that the spectators tomorrow will get more than a glimpse of these ftlays, as Harvard is too wei! versed In defensive tactics to be defeated by ordina ry defense.

In preceding contests con-tests the Elis have shown flashes of great power on both offenne and defense, but uncertainty and inconsistency have marred the play of the New Haven team. Brown is one of the smoothest football machines In the east this seas-on and Yale must bring the full power of its attack to bear If the Providence players are to be ' defeated. Cornell and Michigan figure in the one intersectional game of the day. and the clash should produce sensational football. The Wolverines are determined to show that the victory oveir Syracuse was not gained by a fluke and that Michigan's Mich-igan's team compares favorably with the best of the eastern combinations. If I Coach Sharpe's players are on edge they shotild force the Ann Arbor team to uncover un-cover its best football to win. Perui vs. Dartmouth. ArVther royal football battle should mark .the meeting of Pennsylvania and Dartmouth.
