Harvard's future opponents, Princeton, Brown, and Yale, with the possible exception of Yale, do not face any very serious opposition this afternoon. Princeton will meet the Williams College eleven at Princeton.

Princeton's victory Saturday puts Yale in exactly that position where the latter appears to the very best advantage; namely, fighting against odds. And it is a rare Yale team that does not win under those circumstances...
