TO come.
Columbia will open the local season.
meeting the University of Vermont on
South Field. The Morningside team
has been slow to round into form, but
1t should not have any great difficulty in
opening its season with victory, al
though Vermont is apt TO make the 60
ing swift at all stages. The game will
be called at D. m
The Blue and White eleven had
long signal drill! yesterday afternoon
under Fred Dawson and Alec Teller.
Then the men were lined up as on the
kickoff and practised interference.
With one or two exceptions the varsity
is in good condition and the strongest
lineup will start. Modarrelis injury
will keep him out Of the game for
another week at least and Herman will
start at guard in his place
Canapary to Lead Team
Captain Canapary VIII lead the team
III to-day's game, although he has not
scrNmmaged this week. The lineup at
the start viii probably be as follows:
kennInger. centre; forsy The and Her
man, guards; Tower and Scoyii tackles;
Welnsteln and Kennedy, ends; Qugley,
auarterback; MoscZlensiI, fuilback, and
Thornton and Canapary. halfbacks.
Shaw, Eccles and Scott will also be
used IN the backtield. Dawson does not
wish TO us his men up for the harder
games to follow and Will make many
substitutions.
AT Castle Point Field, in Hoboken,
Stevens will open its season with the
eleven from Haverford College. These
institutions have been gridiron rivals
for many years and a bitter struggle
seems assured
The big game to-day is unfortu-
nately quite distant from here. Col
gate and Brown Will meet at Hamilton.
The Colgate centennial is being cee-
brated and that accounts for the time
and place Of this notable struggle.
Three years ago, when the teams met
at Providence, Colgate swamped the
Brunonlans and completely upset the
dope. There is no dope on hand to aid
III picking the winner this year. Hear
say and reports of the doings of the
teams would indicate that Brown had
an excellent chance of reversing mat
ters to-day.
Up on the plains at West Point the
Army will clash with the fast SYRIA
cuse eleven and at this moment in
dications point to West Points first
defeat OF the year. However, the
West Pointers can be relied upon to
put up scrap that will test the very
best Syracuse can offer.
Down In the Lehigh Valley Rutgers
and Lehigh Will stage a merry little
scrap entitled, Sanford strategy vs..
4 keady aggressiveness. Rutgers ran
over the Bethlehem eleven last fall
and for this reason Ready and his
cohorts are extremely ANXIOUS 10 get
at the Scarlet again. Lehighs ranks,
depleted by the cali to arms, are again
repienished, whereas Rutgers does not
appear so strong as last seaon.
