FOOTBALL SEASON
 DRAWING TO AlCLOSE
Dartmouth Brown Battle the
 Classic Event Tomorrow

New York, Nov. 23.-The waning < of the Eastern college football sea- son is Indicated by the decrease in the number of games scheduled for the final Saturday of the month. Sev- eral of the more important elevens have completed their allotment ot contests and others will close the present gridiron campaign with to- morrow's play. In a few cases teams with Thanksgiving Day matches will { devote Saturday to practice and all of these circumstances tend to reduce the list of games as compared with those of preceding weekend
 While keen inter-college rivalry will mark. almost every contest scheduled, < two games stand out as promising high class and exciting play in the meeting of Brown and Dartmouth and Notre Dame vs. Washington and Jeff 2 ferson. The Army team will also fAco formidable opponent in Boston College;i Pennsylvania has an easier th1k, 4n playing the Carlisle Indians, while the Yale and Princeton fresh f1nen elevens and several of the can-' tpnment teams are down for what are oxpobted to be hard fought gridiron battles.
 AsS| There does not appear to be any great advantage for either Dartmouth xor Brown on the eve of their game which will mark a renewal of the ath- letic relations between the two col leges., Both teams have had hard x season during which they have played ' strong and consistent game, consid- aring the handicaps under which foot ball has been conducted at the two in- N Sstitutions this fall. Each eleven has been forced to bow to one or more op- 8 posing teams during the present ! Schedule, but whether in victory x pr defeat the players have shown foot ball power and a thorough knowledge of the game which leads to the con- 9clusion that when they face on the field the combinations will be evenly matched and that the result will hinge to a great extent upon the breaks of the play
 A The work of both Notre Dame and ' Washinsto and Jefferson all season Z, has stamped them as teams of un- usual strength and the meeting to- morrow should produce one of the tfvery best games of the day. The first 2 eastern appearance of the Indiana collegians resulted in the defeat of the Army team at West Point, but 8 whether Notre Dame can duplicate this feat against Washington and Jeff ferson remains to be seen. The work of the latter eleven against Pittsburgh x and West Virginia, while impressive, resulted. in defeat and the playing of a third hard saAme in an equal number < of weekssis sEIheavy strain upon the physical respurces of the team espe- cially when the opponents are%of the calibre of Pittsburgh, West Virginia and tNotre Dame.
 While the Army will find Boston college, coached by Charles Brickley, a combination which will require close watching, it would appear as though the Cadets in their final game of the 3year should emerge victors. The same is true of Pennsylvania in its meeting with the Carlisle Indians. The Quak- CTS, with the Cornell game less than a week away, will not be inclined to take chances, but even under those conditions should be able to hold Car lisle safe. On the seasons record the Yale freshmen are certain to be fav- orites over Princeton's first year ! players.
