on Rice at quarter back. Rice is one of the
fastest men on the gridiron and 1t Is be-
lieved that Cornell will build many of her
new formations around him. The Cornell

Herring looks to be the best man for his
mate. Dillon and Waller are apparently
the first choice for guards, with Carrothers

that is likely to cause a great deal of
trouble for Yale, Columbia and Cornell, the
teams the Tigers are to meet.
The situation at Columbia has taken on
a brighter look within the last week by the
reinstatement of Starbuck and Carter, the
brilliant halfback and fullback. In rein
stating these men the dean announced that
he had overstepped his authority. The ban
was not lifted on Capt. Thorpe, however
and -Halfback Fischer has been elected to
his place Thorpe has announceds that he
will leave Columbia as soon he gets his
honorable discharge and will finish his coll
lege course at Cornell. He still has one
year of eligibility and will be able to give
that year to Cornell in case the Ithacans
want it.

The Columbia team will be an exception
ally heavy one this fall In the line espe-
cially from tackle to tackle, there is an
array of beef such as no other member of
the Big Six can equal. At the same
time, however, the men lack foot ball intui-
ton and the New Workers have been able
to accomplish very little, even against op-
ponents much weaker than they.
The championship games are now near at
III
members of the Big Six" which will Clash
and they will come together in New York
on Saturday. From present appearances
the Tigers should win somewhat easy VIC
tory. On the same day the Carlisle In
dians go to Franklin Field to play Penn
sylvania. Harvard lines UP against Brown
and the Ellis tackle the West Point cadets.
The Ellis still have a very bitter memory of
the defeat which the soldiers gave them
last year, and they will surely try to roll
up the points against the cadets.
The second pair of the Big Six to meet
will be Yale and Columbia, who will clash
in New York a week from Saturday. Yale
rolled up a big score against Columbia last
fall and close observers of the two teams
think that the Ellis will duplicate the trick
this year. The next big battle will be that
between Pennsylvania and Harvard and
will take place at Philadelphia November IL.
Three weeks ago the Quakers were the ia
vorites. but since then Penns stock has
fallen on account of injuries and Harvard's
has risen correspondingly. At this distance
the fight looks to be a fairly even one, with
the chances little in favor of Harvard.

The many accidents which have marred
rugby foot ball this year will doubtless be
responsible for the introduction of asso-
citation foot bail in all of the big colleges
of the east, The University of PennsyIva-
MIA IS just now taking leading part in
this movement. An undergraduate as well
as n graduate team has been formed at
Penn and games will be arranged with Har-
ward Columbia and Haverford, where there
is row considerable interest in this game.
The sport at Pennsylvania has been put in
charge of the regular foot ball committee
which is giving it as much attention as the
rugby games George McFadden, who is
chairman of the foot ball committee be-
lieVes that rugby foot ball it is now
played, will soon be thing ofo the past,
and that there is a great future for the as
sociatlon game. In order TO test the
'socker'' sport a game has been arranged
between Pennsylvania past and present and
the famous English Pilgrims team which
has been touring the United States and
Carada for the last six weeks
This VIII be the last game that the
Britons will play in this country and they
want il to be instrumental in introducing
the college men to it. The next move
which the Pennsylvanians propose to make
is that of forming an intercollegiate asso-
citation foot ball league The Pennsylvania
University has Il large number of students
from England, Australia and other British
deIendencies who have played this game
and they are all greatly interested in the
sport The Pennsylvania team is practicing
daily and expects to give the Britons a
hard game on Tuesday.
