WEEKLY HARVARD VS, PRINCETON A Remarkable Contest Expected at Cambridge—Chances for Princeton. Cambridge, Mass., November 3.—Only four days intervene before Harvard meets Princeton on Soldiers’ Field in what promises to be the greatest foot- ball game played here in seven years. It was seven years ago that .the last game between the Crimson and the Orange and Black was played in Cam- bridge, and that game resulted in the breach between the two colleges which kept them apart in athletics until two years ago. Before the game, Princeton had protested some haif dozen or more of Harvard’s players on the ground of professionalism. Harvard responded by protesting every man on the Prince- ton eleven. With such bad blood man- ifest, the game could hardly have been otherwise than it was. In the first half the home team more than held its own, but after the intermission the Princeton forwards ripped up the Harvard line and so demolished the defensive game of their opponents that the backs were able to score almost at will. The final result was, Princeton 41, Harvard 10. After the game Harvard students held amass meeting and resigned ‘from the Intercollegiate Football Association. This year the teams will meet on a new field across the Charles. The men who were spectators at the previous game have long since graduated, and the game has become ancient: history. Last year the meeting of the two uni- versities at Princeton was signally free from any objectionable features and the Princeton team will be cordially wel- comed to Harvard next Saturday. GOOD SHOWING AGAINST THE INDIANS. The game between Harvard and the Indians last Saturday was the first strong showing of the home team this season. It insures a good game with the Tigers. In spite of the absence of Wrightington, Cabot, Wheeler and Haughton, Harvard stood up well be- fore the strong Carlisle team and showed unexpected steadiness at critical moments. The fierce plunges of Cayou, Metoxen and McFarland made many gains, and several times drove back the Harvard line for forty yards or more, but the Crimson never failed, when the situation grew dangerous, to promptly calla halt. The splendid stand which the team made in holding the Indians on the five-yard line was especially worthy of remark. The weak places in the Harvard line were at left end and guard, and the two tackle positions. Cabot will be in his old place at left end on Saturday and there will be no weak- ness in that quarter then. Wheeler may be able to play one of the tackle positions. It is Harvard’s misfortune that, with Newell and Waters, two of the greatest tackles that ever played football, as active coaches, she has yet been unable to strengthen these places in the line. Wheeler, Donald, Haugh- ton and Merriman have all been dis- abled and compelled to withdraw, and in consequence there has been no oppor- tunity to perfect the play in these posi- tions, Behind the line, Beale at quarter showed improvement last Saturday, as he always does in a big game, and Dun- lop played the best game of his football career, making brilliant runs repeatedly and showing that he is capable of tak- ing a place among the best half-backs of the year. If he duplicates his per- formance next Saturday and Wright- ington is able to play, there will be no longer any ground for apologizing for Harvard’s backs. Brown at fullback punted well last Saturday and will not suffer greatly by comparison with Baird ifthe line protects him as well as it did last week. THE PROBABLE CHARACTER OF THE GAME, The probable line-up of the Harvard team is after this order : Cabot, left end; Wheeler or Mills, left tackle; Bouve, left guard; F. Shaw, center; N. Shaw, right guard; Merriman, right tackle; Moulton, right end;, Beale, quarter- back; Wrighington, or Sullivan, left half-back ; Dunlop, right half-back ; Brown, full-back. There is no question that Princeton is stronger than Harvard, and the game on Saturday should result in.a Princeton victory. But the score should be close and touchdowns will be few if Harvard succeeds in handling Baird’s punts cleanly and preventing Brown’s_ kicks from being blocked, But although Har- ‘the kicking game.

UNION SQUARE NEW YORK. vard should keep Princeton’s score down to small figures, it is very doubtful whether she will be able to reach the Princeton goal line. Her backs are strong, but her play on the offensive is not sufficiently perfected to be effective against a strong opponent. In the game on Saturday, Princeton’s best gains are likely to be made between center and left end and through right tackle. It may prove, also, that Moul- ton will not be equal to preventing gains around his end, and as he is better at getting through intérference from be- hind than meeting it when it is headed in his direction. Harvard’s best gains are likely to be made, as for some years past, by forcing the opposing ends out of the play and sending the runner be- hind interference around the tackles. If Harvard loses, and she probably will, it will be, in large measure, be- cause she has not sufficiently mastered Her coaches are not lacking in knowledge, but owing to the necessity that they have been under of instructing a large number of players in those essentials which must be mastered beforea kicking game can be attempted, they have been unable, thus early in the season, to obtain any such mastery of punting tactics as marked Yale’s play and baffled the Tigers in the New York game last November.
