GOOD FOOTBALL CONTESTS
 FOR COLLEGE TEAMS TODAY
Brown Colgate Looks To Be Best Battle But Army and Syracuse Will Furnish Lively Argu-
 Inent on Gridiron.

New York, Oct 1.-The schedule today calls for three football games which assay 8 tFifie abeye the grade of the early practice kind: Brown is taking 8 deep breath and diving into the wflds of upper New York state in search of glory on gelsate's heIne gFldiFon; the powerful Williams eleven Is touring through the Lake Cayuga country and will spend the afternoon as the guest of Cornell, while West Point Is entertaining ss= raeuse.
 The records ef seme ef the prem inent eastern e1etens are Sure te be plotted before the day Is cut, he matter which way the battles sWihg. Brown has the faak4Hgs ef a brilliant team with q tf4e ef veteran backs, Jemail, Brooks and ArH4stfeng, and Coulter at quarter all ef whom played ef4 the 1B1e eleven which de- feated both Harvard and Yale. These stars have net hit their stride, as yet.
 While the Providence tealh has a zT to victory over Rhode Island State to its credit, the record against Bewdein last Saturday was net so impressive, only one touchdown being scored, the Maine boys holding their opponents for downs on the three yard line on one occasion. 4 little improvement in offensive power has been noted this week. Colgate began 3ts reason last Saturday with an easy victory over Susquehanna, the score being 35 to I, Susquehanna scoring in the last half minute of play. Colgate s work was disappointing and ragged.
 .Io, tt, l., year of considerable scoring power. The Purple has beaten Rensselaer, 22 to and Union 2s to already and has been brought along rapidly to give Cornell a battle. It ts possible that the Berkshire eleven will be without the services of Boynton. captain and quarterback and all around star Of the team, He was in- jured in practice the other day. Cor neIL thanks to the individual work of Shiverick, turned In nine points against Oberlin in the first game last Saturday, but no great strength was discerned on the offense.
 Syracuse has made no secret of the fact that it has been working strenu- ously to make things interesting for West Point. The Orange has an eleven boasting quite a punch, and while 1t was surprised by a fast Yer mont outfit last Saturday 1t ran up a count of 27 to with several of its stars out of the lineup. McQuarrie at the Academy may be called on to do some powerful bunting to keep the upstate team away from the goal line. The green Army team got quite a little opposition from Holy Cross, but won by 8 score of g to o, while defeating Middlebury the week before by count of II to 0.
 Harvard coaches will use the game with Colby to put little polish on the team for the struggle with Brown next Saturday. An easy game is vel comed, as several regulars are laid up with injuries, among them Cap tain Murray at quarterback. All signs point to a remarkably successful sea- son for the Crimson. It has been showing offensive power far superior to its chief rivals-Yale and Prince ton-and has an amazing supply of first rate material.
 Yale has a fairly simple problem with North Carolina University, which was defeated last Saturday by l Rutgers, the score being 19 to o.
