The foot ball season will begin IN ear
nest tomorrow. Many contests are sched-
| uled for what is the real beginning Tor
| 1913. Owing to cancellation, only one
/ game will be played here-that between
the Maryland Agricultural College and
| Baltimore City College-but every team
of prominence in the north is booked %
| get in action, as are several of the larger
south Atlantic institutions.
Pennsylvania, Harvard, Princeton
| Brown and Dartmouth are the big teams
| which will play their first games. The
/ Ouakers are not apt to lind great dcal
! of trouble winning from Gettysburg. II
! fact it is doubtful if either OF the men
/ toned schools viii run up against Z
/ great deal of oppositions. Brown should
not find il difficult to defeat Colby, Whlic
/ Maine Will prove nothing more than a
| good practice for Harvard. Rutgers may
| nut up a good game against the Tigers,
I although it can hardly hope To do more
| than make a good showing. Dartmouth
| oucht to win from the Massachusetts
| Agricultural College by comfortable
| margin -
! The penn and Princeton contests viii
be watched with much more interest than
| the others. The Quakers have new
coaching system and the Tigers were
is,1pposedly weakened considerably by
| graduation. Just how these teams Will
come out in their first big games will be
watched closely BY those connected with
the other big schools, as we'll as by
followers Of the institutions themselves
Gettysburg has once or twice given
Pennsy lvania close calls, while Rutgers
| IN one or two occasions has provided
stiff opposition for the Tigers.
| West Virginia WESLEYAN ought not 10
nrove any more difficult for Carlisle than
| did Albright and Lebanon Valley. 1t
viii be surprising if the Indians do not
win by an even larger margin than that
nv which they disposed Of their hrst two
Ionponents Despite the big score made
Nv Holy Cross against the Norwich eleven
Yale will probably win from the Wor-
cester team by a fair margin
/ Virginia and the University Of North
Carolina will play their hrst sames' al
| though the other big south Atlantic col
| lapes will not start until the iolloWlnS
| saturday The first mentioned will play
| Randolph Macon and the Tar Heels VIII
| 90 against Wake Forest. These games
ssbouId prove to be victories for Virginia
| and Carolina. although Wake Forest may
| be stronger and play better game
| against the Carolina eleven than Is look
/, ed for.
/! Rad il not been for the cancellation Of
/ the contest which the Seaman Gunners
had with Georgetown. Inc blue ana

| result of the failure of the service organ

| one game now scheduled Is that between
the Maryland Agricultural College and

| Here is some line: a news item in one
the western papers makes note Of the
4 fact that a new pair OF scales had &c

| in order to weigh the five center men on
| the line. From tackle to tackle 1t is said
the line averages more than 2lo pounds
| which is the mark at which the scales
fail to respond. When the five men Were

the bar went up with bump i'll each
of the i've instances. In other words
