he wrote in one of his papers:

The French have succeeded in thor

are his lnVeterate enemies. England

she has gradually come to feel a con-

force the government to intern every

Harvard-COrnell Battle Features Programme. Yale Meets Washington and Jefferson Other Colleges Will Meet Strong Teams

New York, October 22.-Although the football season has just crossed the midway mark, the elevens of the lead ing eastern colleges and universities tomorrow will face one of the most dangerous stages of their play. There
 is not one of the big teams that will enter the week end contests certain of victory. Harvard, Princeton Yale. Cornell, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania and the Army are all called upon to meet opponents capable of giving them bat tie far beyond the usual practice stand ard
 Large crowds are expected to wit ness the Harvard Cornell game at Cambridge; the Princeton Dartmouth battle at Princeton; the Pennsylvania Pittsburg contest al Philadelphia; the Georgetown Army game at West Point, and the meeting between Yale and Washington and Jefferson at New Ha- ven.
 Cornell goes to Harvard for the eleventh game between the two univer- sities since 1890, and the Ithaca team has an excellent chance to break the long string of defeats that has been its portion, The Cornell II is one of the best in the history of football at Ithaca, having weight, strength
 speed and sufficient veteran material
 to steady the combination, but in the Crimson it is going against a combina- tion stronger than any heretofore met Harvards team has rounded into form very slowly. The Houghton coaching system is however, capable of achiev- ing remark able results, and it may be that the Cambridge II will rise su-
 perior to the test. Whatever the out come of the game, there promises tC le spectacular duel for individual honors between Captain Mahan anG Captain Barrett. two of the leading gridiron stars of the east.

0WENT0N DEFEATS SOUTHERN ELEVEN Playing of Gillem the Fea- ture-Result of Game a
 Big Surprise

Greensboro, October 22.-(Special. .)-Br- mingham college football eleven had an easy time in recording a victory over tSe Southern university team here today by the score of 2T to 6. The Birmingham boys displayed wonderful teamwork and clearly outplayed their opponents The Methodists backfield was largely instru- mental in their victory. Straight football was used throughout. The heavy and continuous line plunges of the victors broke the local line to pieces.
 The work of Gillem at half for the visitors was the feature of the after noon. Every time he was given the oval he was never stopped until he had made first down. Outside of the work of Poulll the playing of the local eleven was poor. The victory of the visitors was big surprise to local followers. Southern uni versity was picked to win by two touch downs. The visitors left here tonight for Birmingham.

the same combination. The line is
 heavy and fast, the backfeld above
 the average.
 Washington and Jefferson defeated
 fale year ago, 13 to z, and returns to New Haven hoping to duplicate the 1eat, but the chances appear to be against second victory Yale is stronger than in 1914, while Washing ton and Jefferson lost several of her pest players by graduation last spring and has not shown the power and drive that made the team so formidable last season. While Yale appears to have
 the easiest task of the day among the
 big varsity teams, the result is far from foregone conclusion.
 Pennsylvania will meet a team ex- ceedingly proficient in the forward pass when the Quakers line up against Pitts burg. Glenn Warmers charges have run mp 124 points against Westmin- ster, Navy and the Carlisle Indians in the three games to date by the use of a clever combination of old and new football offensive methods. Pennsyl- vania will have to develop a more pow erful scoring game than she has shown up to this time to hold the Pittsburg Il In check
 Followers of the United States Acad- emy teams will watch with unusual interest the outcome of the Army 1eorSetOWn game, TOT three weeks ago Georgetown defeated the Navy by a
 to score. Aside from the loss of the Princeton match, the Washington collegians have played winning foot ball. whereas the cadets have won only
 one of three games played.
 The Navy plays the Virginia Poly technic. and is not expected to be as hard pressed as the Army, for the
 middies have rounded into form rap idly and should present a formidable front in tomorrow's game
 The day will also be notable for the return of the Columbia university to
 the football arena after a 10-year ban on the game at the local institution
 Columbia, which opens it's 1915 sched- ule with a contest against St. Law renee university, played its last pre- vious game at the end of the 1905 7, season.

SOUTHERN GRIDIRON
 BATTLES ASSUMING
 IMPORTANT STAGE
Results of Five Games Today Will Have Import ant Bearing On Dixie Championship Odd, Favor Alabama, Auburn, Virginia, Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt to Win

Atlanta, October 22.-Five southern games are in the spotlight tomorrow as
 having an important bearing on the south ern football championship. They are: Virginia vs. Georgia, at Athens; Geor- gia Tech vs. Louisiana State at New Or leans: Auburn vs Mississippi Aggies at
 Birmingham; Vanderbilt vs. Mississippi at Memphis. and Alabama vs. Tulane at Tuscaloosa.
 The Virginia Georgia game stands out as the contest of greatest interest. Vir- ginia's feat of beating Yale by touch
 down and a field goal and then losing to Harvard only by three field goals
 has brought the Charlottesville team to
 the front as probably the strongest team in the south. Stuart. the Virginia tackle, who was out of the Harvard game on account of a broken hand, according to reports received here, is expected to be back in the lne-up tomorrow. The Georgia team is reported to be
 much stronger than when held by Chat tanooga university to a to tie on October 9.

A CLEVER IDEA,
 BUT IT DIDN'T WORK

State College, Pa, October 22.-Plans of Pennsylvania State college students to travel as Tive stock to the big football games to be played by the Blue and White away from home have been shattered by the interstate commerce commission. it was learned today. The commission ruled that despite the willingness of the students to travel in special cars bedded down with straw. it was illegal for rail roads to transport human beings under the special classification of Tive stock. :"
 The students hoped to see the Harvard game next week at Cambridge at a cost of about S7 for railroad fare. the journey in Pullmans would cost them $35.

When seen last night by an Age-Herald representative, Coach Mike Donahue of Auburn would not give his opinion as to the outcome but hnted in very modest way that he would be greatly surprised to see his men defeated 'The boys are in good condition with the exception of Caughman whose knee is still slightly below par" he said. Although he will start in the game this afternoon under a grave handicap, he is better conditioned now than in the Clemson game last Sat prday
 As to the result of the game tomorrow l will not attempt to predict the score. I expect a strong fight from Coach Chad wicks boys. but I fully relieve that we will be able to meet anything that they produce. The line viii average around TO pounds. while the bacl1feld will fall slightly lower. Prendegast will do the kicking. l know that the Aggies have undergone some powerful training during the past week. but we've been busy up at Auburn. too
 When questioned as 10 whether he thought Coach Chadwick had. anything ''up his sleeve" the genial Irishman made no answer for moment and then said:
 "1 suppose he will, if reports a re true. but the boys will get 'em anyway. They re going into that game to win and play that same old Auburn October game. We may get beat and we may not, but we certainly are going to give them a hard fight"
