Football Contests Come Into
Prominence With End of
Baseball Season.

There were no really big football
games on today's schedule, although all
Of the big teams of the country are in
action. With the football season we'll
on to the end Of October the teams are
gradually taking on stronger elevens
in preparation Of the championship
games which come off in November
In the east the colleges which are
considered the strongest have com
pararTely easy games with the eXcep-
ton OF the University OF Pennsylvania,
which is playing Pennsylvania State
college. This game promised to be the
cleanest contested OF the day as the
Pennsylvania State eleven generally
ranks well up among the minor college
football teams and this year Is no eX-
ceptiOn to the rule. The University OF
Pennsylvania has lighter and slower
team than Of previous seasons this
year
Yale had an easy opponent in Col
gate and was expected to handle this
team without trouble as the weak
spots which were shown up in the
West Point game last Saturday when
the Army defeated the Blues have been
patched UP.
Harvard expected to have a strenuous
time with the Brown team, but prom
ised to get the final count The Prince
rOn-HOly Cross game was expected TO
60 to the former. as both Yale and Har-
ward ran up big scores against this
team West Point, which promises to
nave the 5lLou6 est team IN Lle country
this year was expected to have no
trouble 10 downing Lehigh. and the
Navy, which also has an exceptionally
strong team, was also expected to take
the decision from Western Reserve.
The Carlisle-Lafayette game in the
east promised to be as pretty a battle
as viii be fought on the gridirOn among
the smaller colleges, as both teams are
nearly on a par
The west saw the Michigan team lined
up against the Vanderbilt team for the
first time. These teams have never met
before on the gridirOn. Minnesota was
expected to have no trouble in downing
Iowa as the Iowa eleven has played
Door ball this year. The Indiana-W Wash
ingtOn game promised to be a close
contest with both teams having an
equal chance at the break.
In the south the big games were
between the University Of Texas and the
University of Arkansas, at Austin, and
Baylor against the Southwestern uni
versity at Waco.
