Top-Notch Match Every
Saturday Likely Next
Season; Expect Colgate
By Ray Mccarthy

New York football followers will be
treated to more big gridiron games
in 1920 than ever before, judging
from the way the schedules of the
various college teams are being ar
ranged. Heretofore, three or four
big games a season have been the
maximum that have been staged ~
this city, but it is quite safe to say
that next fall, probably one big
game will be played here every Satur-
day, and when the season is in full
bloom it is likely that two .or three
contests will be played in old Man
haitian the same Saturday.
Colgate, one of the topnotchers for
appeared in New York, may play
Dartmouth at the Polo Grounds next
season. Both institutions want to ar
range another meeting, but there is q
hitch as to where the game shall be
played. The Maroon, having journeyed
to Hanover, n. H., twice to play the
Green, objects to making a third trip
into the hills of old New Hampshire
until after Dartmouth makes visit
TO Hamilton, N. Y.
The Hanoverians are against the
idea of staging the contest in such a
small place as Hamilton, not only be-
cause of the trip but because it
figures probably that the game would
not draw the financial returns there
that it is worth. Also that Dart
mouth alumni, who arc more plenti-
full in New England and New York
City, would be unable to witness this
classic battle if it were held in
Hamilton.
Colgate is extremely anxious to have
the game in any event and now comes
ant
there is possibility that the Maroon
VIII attempt to arrange the game for
New York City
Dartmouth is likely to consent to
this arrangement if the authorities do
not object to the team making too
many trips away from Hanover The
pig Green eleven is certain to appear
mere In one other game, with Penn
or Cornell. and will also play Brown
away from home, in Boston. 1t is need
less to state that Dartmouth Colgate
game here would draw an immense
crowd.
Brothers May Clash
Another nifty contest which is pos
sibility for New York is Dartmouth
Syracuse. These two have met on sew
eral occasions and generally brilliant
tussle has resulted. This year the two
failed to crash, but it is said on good
outuVAity tudI tuty Will resume reta-
tions next year. Both rank high in
the football world and this game would
draw well at the Polo Grounds, par
ticularly as two brothers, Harry and
jim Robertson. both fine players, are
the new captains of Syracuse and Dart
mouth respectively.
The Colgate Brown game will be
played at the Polo Grounds if present
plans of the Providence institution
materialize. Brown has written Col
gate it would like to play the game
in New York, and inasmuch as such
a game would be as good a drawing
card as could be arranged for this
town, Colgate will probably consent
In this case Colgate would be seen in
action here twice next year.
The Dartmouth game will be
played here again, unless the Green
insists that it be staged in Boston
If Cornell plays Dartmouth, that game
also will likely be held in the Brush
stadium
Rutgers, always an attraction in New
York, has announced that it will play
one or two games in this city next
year. One of Rutgerss opponents for
game here would be a Western Con-
ference team Indiana is scheduled to
