entire list. with the exception of Sep
tember 20. October 13 and November
"a. Negotiations now are being car
ried on with several institutions look
ing to the scheduling of contests for
these dates.
On October 6 the Blue and Gray will
entertain Lebanon Valley here. team
that last fall proved a decidedly hard
nut for some strong elevens to crack.
Lehigh and Army had their hands full
in games with that school. October 20
the team goes to South Bethlehem for
a game with Lehigh and October 21
Davidson College of South Carolina
comes here for a struggle. November
6. election day. the annual struggle
with Fordham at New York takes
place. The eleven goes to Annapolis
November 10 to meet the Navy, and
November II to Roanoke. Va. for a
battle with Washington and Lee. The
annual affair with George Washington
Thanksgiving is to consummate the
season.
Gallaudet has almost completed its
foot ball schedule for next fall. The
Kendall Greeners intend to play eight
games. opening tHElf season OctoDST

first game Is to be played with West
ern Maryland College at Gallaudet on

IT and November 20 IThanksgiving)
are pending. November "a is the date
of the battle with George Washington,
to take place at Gailaudet
Gallaudet's schedule is better adjust
ed than last year. The Kendall Green
ers Will not meet Virginia Military In
stitute nor Fordham, but are to play
teams in their own class at all times,
according to the present list. This is
no doubt the best thing for the college,
as the scarcity of substitute material
decreases the possibilities OF success
after injuries in heavy contests have
depleted the ranks of those available
to play.
Besides the games mentioned. Gal
laudet is carrying on negotiations with
William and Mary. Washington Col
Iege and St Johns. The first of these
elevens has never been met but the
second and third are old rivals. Wash
ington College went down before the
local colIegians last fail by big score.
Brooke Brewer, the Maryland State Col
iese sprinter. viii go to New York We'd
nesday to compete in the Milrose Athletic
Club games. Brewer is entered in the
seventy-yard open and the Sevcnty-yard
invitation dashes. In both these events
the local man will be compelled to com
pete against his former teammate Maxam.
The last mentioned is at the University
OF Pennsylvania and is entered in the two
events in the Millrose competition.
Brewer is just beginning to get in good
shape He has done little real work this
wear since the foot ball season, but he Is
beginning to show even greater speed
than that which characterized his run
ming in scholastic circles Brewer has one
fault in his running. and if he can learn
TO eradicate that will be the fastest man
in the United States. if not in the world.
There is every reason to believe that
Brewer ought to stand an even chance to
conpetes. particularly in the 100 and 22O
ward dashes. Probably he ought TO do his
very best running in the furlong.
Much has been said concerning the
relative. worth of foot ball teams of to-
dav and years ago. just as such compari-
sons have been made in base ball. No
matter what has been the opinion, though
concerning the relative prowess of elevens
of different periods, one in which all have
united is that the elevens of today are
not able TO stand the gaff as well those
az a decade ago. Then a coach would &c
through a season with twelve or four
teen players but now one would never
ont using at least two elevens and some
times more Grant Herring, athletic edi-
