Loyal to next to the last breath to Harvard, Tremont St. strollers admit to a curiosity to find out whether Princeton really is as good as It has seemed; whether Dart mouth has been just too good to be true. The opinion prevails that the Princetonians will get out of hand against the lads from Hanover, for up here where they have football even for breakfast, they regard the New Jersey Tigers as pretty close to the country's tops as a powerhouse outfit.

Jerry Roscoe has been in, the hospital, suffering, apparently, from the same cold he had the week before the Prnceton game last year, and which caused him to throw only one winning touchdown pass. The Eli line is being held together practically with adhesive tape. Lrry Kelley, the pass-catcher, has two bad legs. There's something wrong with Clinton Frank, and Al Hessberg Is hors de combat. All of which means that this afternoon there will be a noble shedding of wheelchairs, crutches, splints and bandages in behalf of Old Mother of Men, for that is the way of Ell.

Harvard, just to vary the theme, comes to the game admitting It Is In Its best condtion of the year.
