There is one unusual feature about The
foot ball season Ills year. and that is
that instead OF all the interest being
saved up for the last two weeks OF No
vembel,. the foot ball season of 1911 offers
exciting contests spread along through
the entire schedule. and there are foo1
ball fans who expect TO take III all they
can Of thes,. interesting contests, and
VINO are wishing that on certain Gays
where two or three of these occur on
the same date. there was Il possibility Of
being in two place at once.
The preliminary games played previous
TO Saturday. September -. although they
show Carlisle. Cornell. Maine and the
University OF Washington opening tae
season, have nothing of special i!npoE-
tance. September a5. however. we jump
at once into games that are worth see
ing from the standpoint of early exc1tlns g
contests. Cornell takes on Pittsburgh AT
ithaca, and il should be renen.3e that
rhe big red team of Cornell. which de-
feated the University Of Pennsylvania at
the end OF the season Il TO ., was beaten
last year by Pittsburgh no less than ~

wipe out. Ii one wants y game nearer
New York Princeton meets Rutgers at
Princeton. and while IL was somewhat of
a runaway match last year. princeton
piling up fourteen points TO RutseEa
three il was interesting. Last year iaic
and Maine played q hard game TO a Tie
AT New Haven. and these two meet on
Yale Field on this same Saturday. Alto
gether therefore, it is easy TO see that
any foot ball man may enjoy as fnucn ca
citenlent that day as is good Tor MN

II was probably a good thing for
rowing interests that Yale won. jus,
as il was good thing for rowing
interests up on the Hudson that Co
Iumbia won. Incidentally. in the face
