Special to The Herald.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Sept. 29-lt
will be next to impossible to select a
football champion of either the east or
the west this fall except by the very
unsatisfactory method of comparative
scores.
Harvard has finally succeeded-after
straining herself to accomplish 1t Tor a
good many yearS-in breaking away
from Pennsylvania-thus leaving the
Quakers out in the cold as far as any
games with the big four are concerned.
Thus Penn's only chance of being
stvIed the eastern football champion is
for her to beat Cornell in the annual
THANKSGIVING day game, after Cornell
shall have beaten Princeton. who IN
turn must beat Yale and have yale
subsequently, lose to Harvard. 30
Penn's only hope may be summed UP as
a million-to-one shot
AS for Michigan, she has no oppor-
tunity to regain her title to the west
ern championship, lost to Chicago last
wear. because all the western teams
have omitted her from their Schedule.
Another penalty of merit.
Therefore, while the Penn Michigan
game at Philadelphia is bound to be
rattling contest between two crack
teams of the east and west. also giving
us the first opportunity of seeing the
great Yost machine in action mere, IL
will. unfortunately, prove nothing, as
neither team can boast OF any eSpeclai
standing in it's respective section.
Yale Schedules Games
Meanwhile, Yale is the only one OF
the big court to have two big games
s,nr
usual battles with Princeton ana Har-
ward, the former on November IL ana
the other a week later. But Harvard
has only her Yale game, and princeton
that and the Cornell game.
COLUMBIA has Joined the down-and-
out society and is not especially missed.
Her place may be taken by a New
York professional football team. Such
a project is now smouldering among
promoters in this city, who hope to cor
raj a cluster of college stars and play
with the professional teams of Pitts
burg. Franklin, Pa, Massilon, o., Syra-
cuse, Watertown and maybe a rev
college teams.
If this pro team foozle the Prince
tom Cornell game will be the only one
| for New York.
new rules and many are the wild tricks
l.being dreamed up by coaches of the MI
nors whereby they hope to score on tnn,e; tne
big teams in the early games. But you'l II
| find the weight and larger SQUADS oI
| the big teams will give them the same
advantage they've always enjoyed, so
that in the preliminary games the big
| college teams will fatten up their score
| boards at the expense Of the minors
as ever before.
Harvard will start the big games
a Point
october 27. While the Cambridge eleven
| is playing at West Point Princeton and
Cornell will meet, in all probability, IN
this city. If they do New Workers Will
see a good football battle, which Will
help drown their sorrow over the loss
of the Columbia games Last year the
Tigers defeated the Red and White
1 6to 6.
There will be a number of interesting
contests on November 8. Princeton
plays Dartmouth, which proved her
conqueror last year; Harvard plays
Brown, Pennsylvania plays Lafayette,
Minnesota plays Nebraska, and the
Navy plays Pennsylvania State.
On the following Saturday, November
10, Princeton will try hand at West
Point, and Brown will face Yale, while
the Indians will attempt to scalp Har-
ward.
Ell and Tigers to Meet
But all these games will be as moth
ing to the contest that is reserved for
November II, when Yale and Princeton
again trou upon the football field to do
battle before thousands of admiring fol-
lowers. The defeat last year of to %
still ranxles in the Tigers heart, and
| there will be fire in his eye as he
watches the big blue athletes rush
upon the gridiron amid a thunderous
burst of applause and throw OFF their
blankets ready for the fray.
Dividing party interest with the Yale
Princeton game will be the Harvard
Dartmouth, the Pennsylvania-M Michigan
and the Chicago Illinois contests on the
same day A week later comes the
closing big battle Of the sea son, when
Yale and Harvard try conclusions this
year at New Haven.
Coach Reid's fine showing with his
men last year, when the Crimson held
Yale down to six points, has aroused
much interest as to what the Harvard
eleven will be able to do with two years
of Reid's coaching.
Other important games after the Har-
vard-Yale game will be the Pennsyl-
vanla- Cornell contest at philadelphia
on Thanksgiving day, and the West
| Point-Annapolis contest at Franklin
field, Philadelphia, December /. With
| that the season closes again and the
student athletes will have to wait an
other long period before they can don
their football togs again.
