BIG COLLEGES WILL PLAY WEAK ELEVENS TOMORROW

Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, and Brown Will All Take Things Comparatively Easy--Blue Faces Williams While Tigers Tackle Maryland

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Four of the University's future opponents will play tomorrow, mainly against elevens which should cause them no great difficulty.

Yale, however, is taking no chances against Williams, which is regarded as a husky opponent. Captain Jordan has recovered from his recent illness which kept him out of the game with Iowa last Saturday, and will be back in the line-up tomorrow. Charles O'Hearn, star Blue quarterback, took part for the first time in two weeks in the serimmage on Wednesday. Although he will be unable to play tomorrow, he is slated to start against the powerful Army eleven next week.

Considerable improvement is reported from the Eli camp, especially with regard to the tackles, and it is expected that with added strength there, the ends will give a better account of themselves. The team that starts against Williams tomorrow will be the strongest that Yale can muster, and will include most of the warriors who started against the westerners last week.

Princeton Has Stiff Work

Coach Roper put his Orange and Black squad through a long practice Wednesday in preparation for the battle with Maryland tomorrow. Punting by Vanderlip, Cleaves, Crum, and Stinson averaged 45 to 50 yards. In a scrimmage with the second team two touch-downs by Newby and Crum were scored on forward passes.

Princeton will probably spare her best men as much as possible tomorrow, in anticipation of next week's journey to Chicago. Baker has returned to his old position at right tackle, which he has not held since his injuries in the Johns Hopkins game.

Dartmouth Has Wealth of Material

Dartmouth will have a strong team to put in the field against Vermont after the easy Green victory over Middlebury last week. Captain Burke is back at right halfback, having been out since his injury in the Norwich contest three weeks ago. Frank Smith, regular quarterback, and Lawrence Leavitt, regular fullback, are also again answering the roll. Coach Cannell is well satisfied with the work of Donald Moore at center, a position which had been something of a problem. This week's drill has been devoted largely to developing more varied methods of advance. Although the fundamentals of the game are not being neglected, more stress is being put upon the niceties of the formations and plays in preparation for the battle with the University next week. Coach Cannell has good material in abundance; his present aim is to develop a smoothly working, close-fitting machine. In order to accomplish this, his greatest task is to develop more efficient quarterbacks and ends.

The Brown bears, who tied the strong Syracuse team last week, should have little or no trouble with Lehigh in tomorrow's game. The Rhode Island-team played excellent football last week, and sprang something of a surprise in out-playing Syracuse, for, though the game was scoreless, the Orange men had the edge on their more favored opponents. Adams and Faulkner, who were unable to play last week, will be in tomorrow's line-up and will add greatly to the Brunonians strength.
