  BIT ELEVENS NEAR CHAMPIONSHIP TILTS arVard, Colgate, Dartmouth, “. hnd J. and Penn. Lead in Race With the advent of November, otbau next Saturday begins the nportant stage in the proceedings at will settle the football champion lip of the Eastern colleges. AL Tough title to the championship Is aimable lon paper only, inasmuch there is no football league and tho Pntenders for the honor never play e same schedules, yet general crit #al consent may be depended upon award the decision with fairness hd a good show of unanimity. The teams that may still be said ,o most prominently in the hunt are arvard, Colgate, Dartmouth, Wash1 gton and Jefferson and Pennsyl- Ania, and two of those teams, Dart outh and Colgate. will clash next hturday at Hanover in a game that Ill bear directly upon the ultimate hswer. Syracuse’s hopes received were blow just when they were most bseate, as Washington and Jefferson Administered an unexpected defeat on HCurOay. 1alO ana GTluCeIoll, DOlh hving suffered reverses, are not at resent, at least, eligible for consider jon among the leaders. That latel vents may alter all this is, of course, pvious. Bates, Boston College, Colby, rown and Virginia have fallen be- bre the prowess of Harvard without eing able to score upon the Crimson even Virginia’s light team was ole to give Harvard little more than h easy workout on Saturday, but tho hme served to demonstrate, at least, hat Harvard Is in exceptional form. bach Fisher and his associates had bod reason for satisfaction in tho nproved team play that the Cam ridge men displayed. There was CO., esion in the attack and the interfer’ nce was brilliant. Harvard’s for Mards are on their toes all of the me, and Captain Murray and his as- bciates in the backtield are working bgether more effectively than in bme of the preceding games on tho ehedule. There seems to be no mis- king that this years eleven is well D to the Harvard standard. This eek’s game with the Springfield M. C. A. college should not test he calibre of the eleven very severe but it will be a different story hen Harvard meets Princeton on tho lcceeding Saturday. Crimson Will be Eavoritc. Harvard will undoubtedly be a leaVy favorite in that game, and justl- ably so, on the showing in previous f~11 hg it’s defeat by Colgate, is likely to in desperate mood and Coach Roper may be able to take advantage that frame of mind to get his team ut of the slough. One thing may be aken as certain. and that is that, ill ny game in which it starts, Princeton yill not be beaten until the last WhiS- e has blown. The Tiger fought with ne courage against Colgate on Satur ay and lost nrincipally because it was ot able to gauge the Colgate aerial ttack and because its. own aerial at acl1 was found wanting when most coded. Dcfensively the Tiger played ommendably, but there still seems much to do in the matter of building g p a strong attack. West Virginia kill give the Tigers plenty of exercise his week end, but should not worry Princeton seriously. It would be strange if the game that ecided tho football championship of h. eastern elcVenS should be played Up in the little town of Hanover. in he New Hampshire hills. Hanover has een many a strong eleven in action, ut n ever in game upon which hung d possible pionship. Dartmouth $ big games have always been played tway from home. Dartmouth and Colgate meet in Hanover next Saturday and the en- counter will rank among the most inn )ortant of the season. Any one who attempts to pick the winner has a diff icult task on his hands. Both teams are thus far unbeaten, but Colgate has played three hard games. while Dart mouth has met but two elevens of first rate calibre. Colgate has blankcd Brown, Cornell and Princeton in sue cession, scoring IA, 21 and points. respectively while Dartm outh has turned back Penn State, 19 to 13, and -orneIl 9 to 0. This comparative record would seem to give Colgate a shade Espo- cially the victory over Princeton is 5ureto imbue Bankart’s men with courage and confidence. As for the pne eleven WnlCh DOLn teams nave met and conquered, Cornell, while the ad- Vantage in tho score iS all Colgate: khere is no doubt that the Cornell cam that furnished such a stubborn defenSe against Dartmouth at the Polo grounds was a much improved clever Dver the one that went down to defeat et the hands of Colgate by the margin of three touchdoWns on the preceding Saturday. Moreover, there is little reason to doubt that Coach Spears die hot uncover all of DartmOuth’S re. sources in Saturdays game, being con tent to win by simple football. Excel in Forward Passing
