Show TODAY'S BATTLES IN EAST IMPORT AN! NEW YORK, Nov. 7. Eastern football approaches tho climax of the season tomorrow to-morrow with the playing of one of the classic contests of the year and several games which will weigh heavily in the final alignment of the elevens. From many angles the Harvard-Princeton battle bat-tle at Princeton will attract the interest of football followers in all parts of the country. As an annual struggle surrounded sur-rounded with traditions approaching the Yale-Princeton and the Harvard-Yale games, thousands of alumni will watch the scoring with keenest interest. Harvard enters the game as logical favorite, fa-vorite, but, nevertheless, surrounded with an air of football mystery. The Crimson eleven is composed of fast, powerful play- ers and the team has not yet been scored 1 upon. The Harvard schedule has not been as trying as that of Princeton. On occasions, however, the Crimson has i shown great offensive strength with a, well-equipped attack, both in the running run-ning and overhead advance of the ball. , In many respects the interest centers 1 in the woVk of Princeton. Although de- ; feated by both Colgate and West Virginia, Vir-ginia, the Orange and Black is certain to develop a far stronger game against Harvard, and, with the possible exception excep-tion of the Yale contest a week away, may be expected to throw all its power and resources against the Crimson. Under Un-der these conditions, Harvard will have to uncover better football than the team has shown in order to win decisively. Notre Dame comes out of the west for Its annual scrimmage with the army eleven. Judging from the record of t It e visitors, the cadets will bo forced to play their hardest football If they are to hold the fast Indiana eleven In check. Pittsburg is 'another team to entertain dangerous opponents in the Washington and Jefferson combination. A peculia r triangle is involved in this contest, for Syracuse defeated Pittsburg by 24 to 3, only to go down before Washington and Jefferson by 13 to 0 a week later as the result of two fifty-yard runs in the closing clos-ing minutes of the game. Pennsylvania and Dartmouth can be expected to furnish a hard struggle in their game at the Polo grounds in this city, for they are very evenly matched. Dartmouth has not lost a game this season, sea-son, although tying with Colgate last Saturday. Sat-urday. Pennsylvania lost to Pennsylvania State, this being the only defeat on the Quakers' record. Y'ale looks for her usual hard game with Brown, but counts upon winning by a small margin. The weather tonight was clear and gave every promise of affording perfect conditions condi-tions tomorrow. Tho game is scheduled to start at 2 p. m. Since resuming football relations in 1911. Harvard has won five of the six games played. Two other interesting and uncertain contests loom in he meeting of Rutgers and Boston college at Boston and the Lehigh -Penn State game at State College, Col-lege, Pa. The caliber of Boston colloge was established in its victory over Yale. Lehigh had a clean slate until Pittsburg defeated it, 14 to 0, a week ago, and Penn State has had only one setback, the loss of the Dartmouth game by 16 to 13. The other leading teams of the cast appear to have a fair margin of safety in the game of tomorrow.
