Show HARVARD IN SEEK REVENGE FROipELL1 Ithacans Think They Will Beat Crimson Again; Princeton Meets Dartmouth. Dart-mouth. j NEW YORK, Oct. 27. The first montri of eastern varsity football will end to-! morrow with the playing of several games that will have aji important bearing bear-ing upon the final ranking of the elevens for the 1916 season. Some of the combinations com-binations appear to be so evenly matched that victory or defeat will hang upon tha breaks of the play. The contest between Cornell and Harvard Har-vard will be the feature game of the dfty. .The Crimson fully appreciates the sire of ! the task that confronts its players. ! The clean-cut victory of the Ithacans last year left Harvard bady stunned twelve months ago, but Cambridge Is pre-1 pre-1 pared for the hardewt kind of a match tomorrow and will have no excuses to offer should Cornell repeat its triumph. The Ithacans will send into the Harvard stadium one of the strongest elevens that j has carried the lied and White in some ' years ynd one that should force Harvard j tn play its best football. The return of Percy Haughton to the position of head j coach has raised Crimson hopes, but It Is ! admitted that the teams are evenly matched. , Princeton, Tale and Pennsylvania, HUe Harvard, all face formidable foes, and the outcome of their contests depends upon I 'clean handling of the ball and the speed I and accuracy of plays. j Tigers Meet Dartmouth. , Dartmouth, although defeated by I Georgetown a week ago, is a powerful combination, likely to play harder with the memory of that upset fresh in mind. But with the Harvard and Yale game a few weeks away, the Tigers cannot afford af-ford to expose the full measure of their offense. A3 a result, Princeton probably sill plav a kicking game and depend to some extent for a break to give them a low score victory, if they are to win at all. Pennsylvania faces a most formidable adversary In the University of Pittsburg, and if Howard Berry, the atar of the Quaker eleven, is in form, the contest should be a thriller. Yale hopes to check the victorious career ca-reer of Washington and .Jefferson at New Haven, where, for the last two seasons, the visitors from Pennsylvania have tri- i umphed over the Blue. A third defeat" at I the hands of Washington and Jefferson would be a hard blow for the iillis. for no so-called small college team haa ever de- i feated Yale three years hand running. The invaders undoubtedly will give tho Yale eleven a terrific battle. J Tho day wdll also be marked by tv:oJr intersections! games of more than ordi-' I nary importance.
