chief feature of the lstterS being that It
brings seasoning against difficult oppon-

schedule looks to be one well suited to
steady development. The teams as they
come along are, so far as can be fore
seen, such as to provide a nicely graded
season. That does not mean that the
first team to be played is necessarily the
weakest, but the general nature Of the
schedule is to work up. The first four
teams on the list are West Virginia,

A common opponent for Cornell and
Pennsylvania is Pennsylvania State. State
meets the Quakers and the Ithacans on the
3lst. Cornell's schedule prior to the State
game is not a trying one. Hamilton, Ober-
lin, Colgate and Vermont is the order, but
while not a trying one OF the four named,
will give the Comedians a warm afternoon.
Colgate has played some stiff foot ball
against Cornell in its time, and Oberlin
may be an unknown quantity. Amherst
follows Pennsylvania State at Cornell;
then comes a game which will attract lots
Of attention. On the 14th of November the
Ithacans will venture out to Chicago to
meet Stages formidable Maroons. Be.
tween Chicago and Pennsylvania Cornell
will have Trinity for an opponent.

but not SO many hard opponents. Albright.
Lebanon Valley. Villanova and Mount st.
Mary's are to be met, then a harder oppo-
nent in Pennsylvania State. As Syracuse
is to be played a week later, that means
another sharp tussle. Susquehanna follows
Syracuse, but the ensuing Saturday finds
the schedule hard again, for the Quakers
play the red men on that day. The red
skins will visit Annapolis on October 81,
which is a departure from their schedule.
On November Z Carlisle goes to Harvard,
thus having three hard games in a row.
Pennsylvania, the Navy and Harvard. The
Western University Of Pennsylvania will
be played on November IA, while on the
21st the Indians go to Minneapolis to Crap

wind up in st. Louis against st. Louis uni
versity on the 26th.
While pointing for each other this fan
the Army and Navy squads will be en-
gagged with schedules which differ greatly.
They nave only a single adversary in com-
mon by which to compare them, and the
Army plays only nine games to the Nays
thirteen. The midshipmen will stack up
against Rutgers. st. Johns, Dickinson,
Maryland Aggies, Lehigh and the Uni
! versity of Maryland. in that order, before
they take on the Harvard team on October

played only three ~games-Tufts. Trinity

| team to be followed by Carlisle, who is
followed in turn by Villanova. The latter
half of the schedule calls for alternately
hard and comparatively easy opponents,
but none of the last three games can be
called easy, for they bring Pennsylvania
State, Virginia Polytechnic and West
Point. If variety is any help, the mid
shipmen will be well equipped when they
go against the Army, and the last two
games prior to the Army game are calcu-
lated to put them on edge. West Point
has three strong games in a row in Yale,
Colgate and Princeton. but the next three
battles do not present such hard opposi-
ton. They bring Springfield Training
school, Washington and jefferson and Villa
nova to the point. The next game is with
the Navy. The West Point schedule is one
calculated to obviate the probability of the
Army cadets being in a battered condition
when they lock horns with the Navy lads.
Much is expected of both Brown and
Dartmouth this year, and it is a pity they
don't meet. They will have to compare
strength chiefly on what they do against
Harvard. Harvard and Brown meet OF
October 81 and Harvard and Dartmouth OF
November H. Each plays Vermont, bu
over a month apart. Brown has three hare
games-Pennsylvanla, Harvard and Yale
