New York, Sept. 22-Football for
the season of 1906 makes its appear
ance today with few contests among
minor colleges. The big universities
will not fall into line until a week
or so later. The football rules in
their revised form are to be given
their first practical test and coaches,
players and the general public are
waiting to see what the season will
bring forth. 1t is certain that about
everything has been done along ethi-
cal lines to improve the great college
sport, and the seasons play should be
clean and fair.
In summing up the outlook of the
big teams of the East it may be said
that they are one more even terms
at the start than they were a year
ago. All of the Big Five" have lost
several veterans. but the losses are
almost equally severe in each case.
Yale and Harvard are the heaviest
losers, while the prospects at the uni
versity of Pennsylvania. Princeton
and Cornell are reported unusually
bright.

settled in the near future, it is ex-
pected.
AS will be seen all of the games
that have been arranged for SO far
will be played in this city, much to
the satisfaction of the enthusiasts of
the great college game. There has al
ways been immense interest centered
in the playing of the A. C. team by
rsidents of this city and the ebb has
not lowered in the least this fall
AAiO arc many new players WHO
are showing up in fine form and the
squad of subs is exceptionally good,
besides being of likely material. Old
players in the persons of Carpenter,
Bert, Dynes. are here now and work
ing hard. Oshwali will be here the
latter part of the week and Haskins
who made such fine showing toward
landing on the first team last sason
will also be here near the end of the
week He will very likely make the
first team this year. There are many
scholars in attendance who played
star football on high school teams
who will probably be heard from be-
fore the formal opening of the sea-
son.
The first game of football to be
played by the Fargo high school the
present season and the one that is
conceded to open the most encourag-
ing one from the beginning in the his
tory of the institution, will be played
here Saturday afternoon, at the ball
park against the alumni team which
will be organized for that particular
game.
The schedule for the coming season
is being worked on and although all
OF tne OateS nave as yet not been
fixed, games have been assured with
all of the leading high school teams
of this section of the country. The
big game, and the one in which the
interest centers at this time will be
with the Grand Forks aggregation.
They have been the most formidable
opponents in seasons past and there is
reason to believe that they will be as
strong as ever this year. The high
has in the past held up it's colors
in grand style and is working with
that idea in view this season. There
is all kinds of material to work with
and coaching under Prof Barber is
going on regularly now.
Among the leading games of the
season will be contests with Fargo
College, Grand Forks, Valley City, De-
troit, Fergus Falls, Crookston and
other teams. The dates will be
filled till Nov. II, that being figured
about the latest that the game can be
safely played in this section. If the
weather is favorable games can be
arranged after that date.
