  YALE UNDERDOG WITH HARVARD Pond Squad Has Lost 5 of ‘ Games Princeton Surprises With record of two victories and five defeats, a battered Yale Uni- versity football team began prepara- tions today for the game Saturday with Harvard, which, if won, will make the season a success. The Ellis, however, were not too confident of defeating strong Har- yard eleven. Their stock took a rlose- dive last Saturday when Princeton unexpectedly trounced the Yale team, 20 to ‘. It was the first defeat for Yale on Princeton soil in 10 years, and the black mark came from a suppos- edly inferior team. The Tiger struck accurately through the air twice for scores, and, in summation, com- p1eted 9 of Is forward passes, bet ter than 800 score. Not until the final quarter did the Ellis get going, and then 1t was a sophomore forward -passer, Ray Anderson, who threw four successful aerialS in a row, who placed the Yale team in a threatening position. After a couple of warln-up ground plays, Eddie Collins took the ball over on a dive through center for the only Eli score. Despite the defeat, the Ellis were expected to be at full strength for the Harvard visitors. None of the squad was hurt seriously in the Princeton encounter. Wesleyan University concluded a fairly good season by trimming Rochester, 20 to 13, in a last-period drive which netted two touchdowns. Wesleyan clearly was the superior team, amassing IT first downs to 8 for Rochester, and gaining 284 yards by rushing as against 90 for the wis., itors. Thus, except for the Yale- Harvard game, was concluded the 1888 Con- necticut College football season.

All but Tennessee and Western Reserve play next Saturday, but so many of their beaten, but still mighty opponents will be idle that no clear picture of the national title situation will emerge until after Thanksgiving.
