Satisfied With List.
INTERSECTION CONTESTS

East and West-No-
vember Games.

Under the new rules almost every foot
ball game is interesting, the smaller col
leges being just as capable as the larger
ones of playing contests that are worth
while. This season there is a wealth of
games on the schedule which will attract
some of tn elargest crowds in history.
Looking down the schedule. foot ball
fan will find several games TO be played
each Saturday of the season which will
be worth while witnessing. There will be
more clashes between tne east and the
west. and one or two of the minor col
leges have sprouted to such an extent
that they will attract a great deal more
attention in the games which they will
play against some of the big elevens, con-
tests which were only of passing interest
a few seasons back
Brown University is very good exam
pie of Improvement which demands atten-
ton. The Providence collegians will play
the University of Pennsylvania. Harvard
and Yale again this year. as has been the
usual custom. Browns heavy eleven and
the presence of the All-American quarter
back on the team will give it addi-
tional prestige. Carlisle is another which
seems to have an improved eleven.

interesting as the season progresses. On
October Z the two best games should be
the meetings between Yale and Syracuse,
at New Haven, and of Cornell and Ober-
lin. at Ithaca. This latter game will be
the first meeting of the year between the
east and the west. Yale and Syracuse
always fight each other hard.

cases the visiting teams will meet a few
weeks later and the two home teams will
