OF all the horrible pictures

That seemeth the tUorst OF oil:
Not for the money t1aSted,
Counting the kdle Il cost,
Not that bleak gale UhiStIed,
Not that the iUror0 team lost;
Not that the quarter JumbIed

With eyes that pere deep and dark;
Unto that game took her,
Into that football park
Fleet as the tptnds Of morning
The hdDbGcks rushed the ball;
Loud as the roar of trumpets
Echoed the cheering coll;
And heard my heart beat loudly
As a tdokler hurled one fdt,
Whom the dame Of niy fancy HlurmHred,

Bringing the tying score;

Softly there came the tOhiSper,

The opinion seems to be widespread that
Brown will accomplish this result. But II
is by no means the foregone cinch that most
sdelners believe 1t to be,
Admitting Browns unusual strength, 1t Is
just as we'll TO remember that Colgate also
has fine team this year-one OF the best
In the East. Two of the best football judges
that we know of told us after the Yale
Colgate game, which Yale won. that Col
gate was at least two touchdowns better
than Yale despite the result
The Colgate array overlooked a number
OF chances against Yale. It may not over
look as many against Brown.
And with things breaking gently in her
favor. Colgate has the stun to beat any
eleven in the. land.
Brown has conquered both Yale and Har-
ward. But Brown still has her hardest
game to play
Penn Starts Also

But Penn has started, and, with Folwell

went to smash
Folwell has proved TO be the man that
Penn needs. He already has beaten Penn
