struggle with the Albright college team on the Carlisle campus. Minor games were also played between Williams and Williston, Pennsylvan- ia state and Altoona, Bucknell and Mansfield. At Yale, Harvard and Pennsylvania and others of the more important institutions the past week has been marked by the gath ering of the gridiron heroes for the practice season. and as result countless rumors are rife of the strength or weakness of the mater ial from which the elevens must be made. Next Friday the officials of the leading eastern institutions will meet in New York to pass on all disputes regarding the interpre- tation of rules governing the game. As the result of last years exper- fence, it is generally admitted that the new rules have effected q great improvement in the popular college game, and it is unlikely that any radical changes will be made.
 Following Carlisles lead today, Cornell will be the next of the big universities to open it's playing, the first game having been scheduled for next Saturday with George Washington. Ten days will find Harvard and Yale in the field, both having scheduled games for Octo- Der 2, the former with Bowdoin and the latter with Wesleyan. Penn sylvania also opens it's season on that date with Villianova. Princeton will get into the game October 5, playing Stevens as opener.
 The Carlisle Indians have an ex- ceedingly hard schedule, embracing twelve games, with Harvard, Prince ton, Pennsylvania. Chicago and Min nesota among their future opponents for gridiron honors On the red skins will largely depend a test of the relative strength of the football teams of the east and west by means of the unsatisfactory method of comparative scores Pennsyl- vania, by playing Michigan will fur nish the only other test.
 West Point begins it's season Oc- tober 55, playing Franklin and Marshall, and the Annapolis boys will play Dickinson the same day. As usual, the army and navy will close the football season with a game at Philadelphia, November 30 being the date assigned for the an- nual struggle. West Point has cut off Harvard and Princeton from this years schedule, although Yale has been retained, and an additional opponent secured in Cornell.
 New York will have an oppor- tunity to see two first class games this fall. The Princeton Tigers will be seen in both of them, playing Cornell here on October 26 and Carlisle on November 2. This will be the Indians first appearance in the metropolis in many years.
 FNh1 IJor o,,J I,,lD for only one game away from home at Annapolis. The two big games of the season will be only a week a part, the Ellis and the Tigers play ing at New Haven on November 16, and the great Yale-Harvard game at Cambridge on November 23. The only common opponents of the Ellis and the Crimsons prior to their historic conflict are Springfield Training School and Brown univer- sity Brown bids fair to have an exceptionally strong eleven this sea- son, and little surprise should be manifested if 1t should defeat some of the more important institutions Harvard and Yale will meet Brown only a week apart. and that too llate in the season, when all three &eams will be nearing thir best form.
