The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-12-13
VIRGINIA HAS GOOD
CHANCE To SECURE
GAME WITH HARVARD
MANY SHIFTS DUE IN DATES OF
CRIMSON FOOTBALL
TEAM.

Barely a fortnight has elapsed since
the close OF the football season. yet all
the varsity managers are busy prepar
ing for the 1914 campaign. This is the
time for schedule making. and the
prospects are that there will be an I'M
usually big number OF changes In the
list Of opponents of the big elevens.
After an interval OF two years
Lafayette will again play Princeton
next season. according 20 the an
nouncement made by the Athletic as
ISOLATION OF the Easton institution. The
return of Lafayette to Princeton will
necessitate the dropping OF one Of the
teams played this year, and the choice
seems to lie between Holy Cross and
Fordham. Lafayette will meet the
Tigers on Saturday. October nth.
The corresponding date In the sea-
son Just closed was held by Syracuse,
but it is not likely that Princeton will
drop the salt CITY eleven, which al
ways gives n good account OF itself.
and at the same time does not forget
itself as far as TO deal the Tigers a

su.allor team must remember in play
irS big eleventh must put up a
good game. but not too good q battle.
Proved Too Aggressive.
There is Il faint suspicion that La

Lafayette hardly got through gloating
over the victory before Princeton sent
in a polite note to the effect that the
extgencies OF schedule making neees-
STATED dropping that team OF the
roster.
Lehigh got similar treatment this
year. but the action was held over for
"a session. Lehtgh had the temerity to
trim the Tigers In 1911. but got a game
last year and lost by IS to o. Then the
AK fell. and clipped Lehigh on the
Princeton list of eligibles. Sometime s
the little fellows come back strong.
Harvard will probably make a
Wholesale change in the schedule for
next season Aside from the prob
ability OF a game with Chicago, on
October 24th. IL lie certain that Holy
Cross will be dropped. The Worcester
team put up the toughest game of the
Harvard season, and got into bad odor
with the Crimson authorities. The
University of Virginia Is being con-
sidered for the date, and DIR. Lambeth,
or Virginia. who is in communication
with Harvard. has almost been as
sured OF the game.
Changes In Harvard Dates.
The Harvard Princeton game next
season will be played on November 7th
although the Tigers are seeking date
"A week earlier In order to give them
more time to get into trim for the Yale
battle. There is a faint possibility that
Michigan viii be seen In the Harvard
stadium. bat IL is very faint indeed.
Brown having fallen from the high
pinnacle 1t occupied in past years. will
be ousted from the late date 1t had this
year. and will meet Harvard in October
or just before the Princeton game,
Penn State will be assigned the con
test prior to the Yale game, as the
strength of the State men merits the
honor position. Yale's proposition TO
move the final game to Thanksgiving
Day, or the Saturday following, win
not be taken up at Harvard until the
new captain. which will not doubt be
Briekley. is chosen late this month.
