Prospects Of the Eleven.

Brunswick. Me, July 5.-tspeciaD Man

Bowdoin's football team announces the
following schedule for next fall:
Sept. 29-Fort Preble at Brunswick.
oct. 3-Harvard at Cambridge.
Oct. 6-Exeter at Brunswick
Oct. B-Wesleyan at MiddletOwn.
Oct. H-Cornell at Ithaca
Oct. 27-Bates at Brunswick
Nov. 3-Tufts at Medford
Nov. 10-Colby at brunswick.
Nov. T-Maine at Orono.
The foregoing schedule Of nine games,
four Of which are to be played IN Bruins
wich, is one of the best BOyyduIn has ever
had. In some respects 1t IL "a hard one,
but the fact that there lis only one mid
week game and that the Amherst trip is
not TO be taken, make 1t less strenuous
than other schedules in these respects.
OF the five out Of town games, four arr:
out Of State games The most important
change in these Is the absence OF the Am
hcrst game. which has ALWAYS been the
hard trip OF the season and the substitu-
ton of the Cornell game at Ithaca. This
change Is good one in that 1t takes the
team into new territory and is not i
harder trip than the one it substitutes.
This trip to Ithaca viii be the longest
trip Bowdoin team has ever taken. A
sufficient guarantee has been received
from Cornell to cover all expenses and
to do away with the necessity Of travel
ing by night which was the case in the
Amherst trip and which is so telling on
football men. in the firest training The
team will leave Brunswick on Thursday
morning and return the following Sunday
evening Another important, change is
at Middlctown Relations with Tufts are
to be continued and the teams will meet
at Medford for the second game since
the breaking Of relations between these
two institutions several years ago. OF
