Because Of their size and regulations for
football efficiency various colleges hold
important places In the eyes Of the pub
lie. No matter how green the material
at these colleges their elevens will at
tract major interest.
These colleges have a splendid oppor-
tunity to do something concrete. some-
thing patriotic. generous and highly ad-
visable. They are presented with the
chance to play football for war funds.
and the sooner they get together the
quicker will the public become impressed
with the wisdom of continuing gridiron
competition.
First and foremost In these opportuni-
ties comes the Army Navy game. A
Harvard-Yale contest also might become
a reality. but even with Yale out Har-
ward has a chance to meet Dartmouth,
which would be only too glad to accom-
modate the Crimson on October ~. the
