The ACKNOWLEDGMENT game, which
Will be played at Cam bridge on the last
day of October. will have results tar
more Tar reaching than any contest for

OF eastern and western loot bail by the
results OF that contest, and il Michigan

western foot ball cou d for many seasons
have defeated the best In the east. On
the other hand if Harvard wins the ma
jority will conclude that similar re-
suit would have occurred hal the teams
met any time in the last five or SIX
years. This is in a way somewhat I'M
fair. for while Michigan has lost Craig,
enc of the best hall backs of east or west,
Harvard will retain Brickley and Mahan,
the former. the man who scored ali OF
Harvards points against both Princeton
and Yale last year with his drop kick

class coach, and he can be relied upon to

Brickley up within scoring distance-and
last year he was always dangerous from
the io-yard line-its chances are good.

Two new athletic pants will be opened
this fall. The Princeton stadium, given
by Mr.. Palmer. will surely be ready for
the Yale game the second Saturday IN

impressive structures that has ever been
erected on any athletic field. and those
who have not seen it will be surprised at
its magnitude. 1t is true that the full
