Hanoverians and Wolverines
Have Nearly CIinched Con-
test for Next Season.

NEW YORK. Dec. 3.-The football
season is hardly over. Yet varsity man
ayers are already busy planning for
next year. Reports from Yale, Har-
ward, Princeton, and other institutions
prominent in gridiron affairs indicate
that several new alliances will be formed
and old ones revived next season. and
that for big contests 1915 will be I'M
paralleled in the history Of the game.
Probably Of major interest to New
York followers Of football is the fact
that Dartmouth and Michigan have
nearly clinched a game TO be played
at the Polo Grounds next October.
The contest would undoubtedly draw
a great crowd to the local stadium, for
New York has long been anxious to
see the Wolverine eleven in action, and
has always had q warm spot in It's
heart for Dartmouth. Despite its OPP
position to playing at the Polo Grounds
II would have been forced to travel,
Dartmouth has learned that a New
York appearance, from a financial
standpoint, is not to be despised.
Isolated as il is at Hanover, Dart
mouth must come 10 either New York
or Boston If il hopes 10 make football
pay. Michigan has also come to ap-
prec.ate the fact that big games in the
East help TO make the Old mare CO.

eleven play. The nearest the Wolver-
ines ever came 10 Gotham was HO-
boken. where they engaged the Stevens
team back in 1888. on the old st. George
cricket grounds. II was the second
Eastern invasion of Michigan, and out
side of that one game it was a diSas-
trous trip for the Weste!ners. They
lost to Yale. Harvard. and Wesleyan.
but gave Stevens a terrific trOuncing.
The score was something Ike Sc TO 0.
Dartmouth has practically been as
EUred of another major contest next
year, with Yale, in the Bowl. There is
40 chance that the HanoVerians will be
put back on tho Harvard schedule.
However, with Yale, Princeton, Michi-
gan, Syracuse, Williams and several
others TO take care of, Dartmouth viii
probably have its hands full without
worrying about Harvard
Michigan will resume relations next
year with Notre Dame. The exact date
for the game. which may be played IN
Detroit or Chicago, has not been set.
