BROWN UNIVERSITY.
STUDENTS DISSATISFIED WITH
THE FO O0TBALL TEAM.
Brown to Meet Bowdoin College on Lin
College OH the Hill,

Considerable dissatisfaction has been
expressed among the students because
there was no football game on the home
grounds Saturday. A game was
origipally scheduled for this date
with Tufts, but was cancelled in order
to play the Orange Athletic club In New
York. This game, however, fell through
aud so Brown was left with an
open date. 1t was too late to obtain a
game with Tafs and all other teams had
game on that date. so Brown did
not play. This is not the first time
that this has happened this season.
Hard rs IL may be for the manage
ment to give complete satisfaction, there
can be no reason why Brown should have
had 50 many open dates which could not
be filled. None Of the three leading
teams OF New England of the smaller
cole Ies. namely, Dartmouth, Williams
or Amherst have been played. Dates
with Dartmouth might have been secured
but for poor managent. Amhurst backed
out aud c1ncelled her dates. but it may
be on account of the stand taken by Man
uger George. There is no reason
whya date cannot yet be secured with
Williams or Dartmouth at Hampden
park the morning OF the Harvard ale
game. Should Brown play Dartmouth,
t1e winner or tho triangular feaEuo at
that time, she would be sure OF drawing
8 large crowd and paying expenses. The
men on the team would also be given a
chance TO see fine exhibition OF football
in the Harvard Yale game aud get few
points. There is still "A chance TO make n
good end TO the Brown season and retrieve
some former errors BY arranging such a
game.
To Meet Bowdoin College.
The next game occurs tomorrow on
Lincoln field, when Brown plays
Bowdoin. Bowdoin beat Brown last
year on Lincoln field "a 10 0. ard was do.
feated the year before by Brown at
Adelaide park. Brown stands good
chance Of winning this year by large
score. The game at any rate will be in-
teresting The practice on Lincoln field
Yesterday showed an improvement on the
part Of the Varsity. Hastings will not
be able to play any more this season aud
IL is doubtful if Denuisou will be ia form

an Mi.lard's work was especially
noticeable, both on account Of his long
runs round tho I'D and his intss-
