  YALE is THE FAVORITE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP WITH EASTERN EXPERTS Princeton Is Close at the Heels Of Els; Has Defeated Harvard. PENNSY is ENTIRELY OUT. Carlisle and Army, Two Strong Teams Outside Big Four. Have Good Claims. NEW YORK. Nov l3.-Eastern football has reached It’s final stage and already the experts are beginning TO dope out tho winner OF the big Four contest Yale has the edge, they think. though Princeton is close al her heels. The real championship game this year, they add will be the Yale Princeton game at New Haven next Saturday, and not the Yale Harvard game In Cambridge on Saturday week. Princeton already has defeated Harward and should the Tigers take Yale into camp, the sons OF Old Nassau would be hailed as the seasons cham pions IL Is true that Princeton’s victories over Harvard and Dartmouth nave been by the smallest OF margins and that the Tigers were tied by Lee high and Navy. but victory over the Blue Saturday would give her the championship BY narrow margin. Yale. however, will be the favorite in the Tiger game. The Ellis have Lost only one game-to Army on Held so soggy and. under conditions 10 adverse that il can be called little more than a fiuke defeat. Harvard. experts say. has practically been counted out, though a vic tory over Yale on Nov % would do much TO redeem her The Crimson lost 10 Princeton by to 6. while the Indians defeated the sons OF John Harvard by Is TO Is and played SUI perior football There are few who believe the Crimson can be whipped into shape 10 beat Yale. whose line on offense and defense has improved ma terially in the past few days. Pennsylvania is not in the running at all. three signal defeats eliminating her from further discussion as pos sible champion. Outside the Big Four” there are several teams that merit attention Carlisle, which defeated Harvard, and Army, which defeated Yale. may lay some claim 10 championship honors, not having themselves suffered defeat this year The Army. with only two points scored against IL. has made the best showing of them all Carlisle. however, has piled up the biggest score-246. Annapolis and Cornell are also In the indicated class, and Dart mouths only defeat was scored by Princeton’s unusual and freak goal Saturday.
