schedules for next fall that have ever been
mapped out for an eleven representing
that institution. The list of contestants
as announced by Manager Richard j.

appear against the Brooklanders, and
there is not more than one or two of the
contests in which fairly easy games may
be expected.

with contest against the University of

tests here. after which journeys will be
made to Allentown, Pa, and to Roanoke.
