Although the intercollegiate football
season Is still two months away. the
shadow Of the gridiron game is already
edging into the realms Of sport The
schedule makers have completed their
tasks. and the coaches are issuing calls
for the gathering of candidates. The first
week of September will witness initial
practice at q number of Eastern and
Western colleges, and before October Is
reached games will have been won and
lost on many a varsity football field.
Judged from present indications, the
coming season should produce football
in both quality and quantity such as no
previous autumn has witnessed. Few
changes have been made in the playing
rules. and both coaches and players will
require but little time in which to famil-
iarize themselves with the code altera-
tons. More than loo games are sched-
uled among the college elevens. and IL
the high school and preparatory academy
contests are included the 1913 games will
total in excess of 1900.
The college play opens with a few scat
tering games on September 20. and the
contests multiply rapidly on succeeding
until the climax Is reached on
%. Thanksgiving Day games
are still popular in certain sections Of
the country. but with the exception of
the Army-Navy game gridiron activity
will cease with the holiday contests.
International Games.
A number of intefseetional games will
add interest to the short football season.
for Michigan, Syracuse. Cornell. Notre
Dame. Carlisle, Vanderbilt, and Pennsyl-
vania are all scheduled for long trips and
games in hostile varsity territory. One
new game OF importance-the Harvard
Cornell match at Cambridge-is shown
among the leading contests of the au-
tumn.

The defeat of the Bankers by the In
terror tribe was rather a rude Jolt to
