n Just one more milestone in the prog
ress of the work done by the local
school authorities in furthering ath-
Ietics in the schools, and it is to be
commanded.

greatest in the country; they have four
good baseball leagues and right now
they have two soccer football leagues

Next to the Yale Princeton game to-
day probably the most important game
scheduled to take place is the contest
to be played al Philadelphia between
the University of Pennsylvania eleven
and the football warriors of the Uni
yersity of Michigan, The Wolverine
knights of the moleskin, led by Coach
Yost, will endeavor to wipe out the rec
ord OF tho three defeats handed to the
gridiron representatives of the Western
. college ins06, M7 and '08 by the Red and
Blue teams Of those years. The QuRk-
ers are not so confident this year as
they have been in past years, but they
have been picked by a majority of the
football experts to come u victorious.
No n denies that the MichiganderH
have a strong combination on the field,
and the chief fault Of which@Yost's men
have been accused ~ slack Of teamt
work,
Another important game is the Dart
mouth Harvard game to be played at
the Stadium. Some critics have claimed
that Dartmonth's touchdown last Sat-
urday against Princeton was the result
of luck, but anyone who knows football
well enough to write in~telfigently about
the game realizes that. to intercept a
kick and run the length Of the field for
q touchdown is not q fiuky play. 1t
takes nerve as well as skill to success
fully block a kick, and while the runner
may have been lucky, inasmuch as
there were no Tiger players near enough
to prevent him from making the score,
still Dartmouth should be given the
credit for her work and no one realizes
the strength of the White and Green
eleven as an antagonist better than the
Harvard coaches. The game will also
Harvard coaches. The game will
also afford the "dopesters' an
opportunity to secure a line
on the Crimson mems condition and
strength, and the showing of the Dart
mouth team against Coach Houghton's
huskies will afford much material for
the forecasting of the H~arvard-Yale
game next Saturday.
\ The Chicago-Co Cornell match at Ithaca
is generally given to the former team
on form. The rIthacans have not made
q very remarkable showing this year,
having suffered three defeats already
this season, and they are hardly taken
as the equals of the Western collegians.
Cornell has shown some improvement
in the last few days and the Cornell
students are looking upon the contest
as one Of little Importance, even though
they concede their team to have little
chance to win. The undergraduates are
worrying only over the Pennsylvania,
game and the contest Is Of Importance
only as a contest between Eastern and
Western teams.
