so as to add more honor and glory to
their alma matters.

season on September 19 with a num-
Der OF high school games and two
real games-Carlisle VS.. Albright at
Carlisle, Pa, and the University of
Maine VS.. Fort Mckinley at Orono,
Maine.
On the Saturday following about
score more OF the big colleges will
stage their first games, and the
schedule for October 8 shows that
every institution in the country will
have fits gridiron army in action.
The biggest game of the year will
be the Harvard-Michigan combat at
Cambridge on October 81. The Har-
ward outfit, with Briclxley, Mahan and
half-doZen others of the 1913 cham
pions. Will have a team that should
rank as wonderful as any that ever
battled for the Crimson.
Michigan lost Craig. it's wonderful
half back OF 1913, through graduation,
and several others of the 1913 team
will be missing, but Hurry Up" Yost
feels confident that he can weld to-
gether a team that can give the east
erners a real battle-and no alibis if
they lose.

will determine Michigan's standing
for the past Is years and the next 10
years" Yost told his pupils. an meet
ing Harvard we will meet the best
there is in the east. We will encoun-
ter a style of play that is different
met before"
Yale Calls Candidates.
New Haven. Aug. 25.-Orders were
received by about so candidates for
the Yale football team to report at
Madison, September 3, for light prac-
tice.
Head Coach Frank Hinkey is max
ing his summer home there and he and
Captain Nelson Talbot will have
charge of the work. a field which is
used for baseball games will be Sc
cured for the practice. Madison is
about IS miles east of this city on the
Long Island Sound shore.
,, The Yale coaches hope this fall to
abolish secret practice. The theory OF
Captain Hinkey is that simple, straight
football, we'll played, is better than
complicated plays worked up behind
closed gates at the expense OF
thoroughness of technique.
