COLLEGE FOOTBALL
FAR LESS GLOOMY
About 30 Per Cent. OF the Schedules Win
Be Carried Out, According to the
Latest Estimates.

New York, Sept l0.--The gray clouds
of uncertainty which have overhung the
eastern college football situation for
some months are gradually being dis
PEELED, and present indications forecast
close To so per cent. of the usual mum
Der of gridiron contests during the com
ing season. While the scheduling OF
games is still under way, in many cases
the autumn card already presents sew
eral specially interesting matches, with
the likelihood that others will be added.

ering about the football standards, there
is every reason for predicting continu-
ance of the game as would not have
been dreamed of early in the spring.
There will be lacking, of course, the usu
al climax to the eastern play, owing to
the absence of the annual Yale Harvard,
Princeton Yale and Army Navy contests.
AS wartime substitutes, hcwever, the
Pennsylvania. Dartmouth, Cornell.Penn- /
sylvania, Syracuse Colgate, Pennsylva'
mia. Michigan, Syracuse Brown. Pitts
burg Pennsylvania, Cornell. Colgate, Rut
gers.Syraeuse and similar contests will
serve admirably.
There viii not be as many intersec |
tional games as IN recent years, but |
even in this department of the seasons |
schedules a few fixtures will prevail,
Both Pennsylvania and Cornell will linz
up against Michigan, and it is barely
possible that the Army may be seen in
its annual match with Notre Dame This
contest was arranged last winter, but
when the Army announced that all the
cadet football games were off, its oppo'
nents began to arrange for other con
tests to fill their open dates. The elev-
enth-hour decision of the Army TO con-
tinue football will make it difficult for
the soldiers to restore their schedule to
its original form. Whether Notre Dame
can give the cadets the date formerly
set for the game III West Point remains
to be seen. This contest is always one
of the features OF the season, and its
continuation, if possible, is earnestly to
be desired
Judging from the results of the many
tennis matches played between Miss
Mary Browne Of California and Miss
Molla Biurstedt this summer the far (
coast tennis contingent has no reason to |
fear deeadence of the court game as
taught on the Pacific coast. Since com
ng East to play in the ambulance fund '
exhibition matches of the National Lawn Ii
Tennis association, Miss Browne has d
Deen able more than to hold her own /
against the Morse woman, who during
he past few seasons had been sweeping
Ill opponents aside in her quest OF
championships.
The records show that from their first
Meeting on Nov. 81, 1918, at Long Beach,
al, until the last day of August of G
his year, the two leading women expo
rents of the racquet game have met in
