yridiron lovers, followers ct al, will
be focused on the Harvard Stadium.
first, because Harvard is the only
team Of the Big Three playing to-
a,y. and secondly. because this game
viii be shout the best Of the day.
Holy Cross will help the Crimson
usher in the season, and whether the
cambridge students win or not there
il sure to be more or less crimson
spread about. Harvard should and
probably will come off victorious. but
he Worcester eleven is prepared to put
ma one of those old fashioned every
boay-kiek-in- battles. 1t has some good
players in it's lineup, and if it gets the
fump any number of things may hap
pen. ~ r,,..,
We have used the foregoing phrases
and adjectives in saying that this game
will be q hard-fought struggle. We
6eure it this way: Holy Cross will
uSobably fight tooth and nail for the
Srst half and may hold the Crimson
oa even terms. Then, if the Cambridge
beef and Drawn, OF which there are con-
siderable in the Harvard lineup this
season, hasn't sapped the entire
strength of the Purple eleven it may
90 on and give Fishers eleven some
thing to remember it by &a any event
h should be an interesting game.
This seems to be about the only real
contest on the list for to-day. The
others probably will be mere work
outs. Penn, for instance, will encoun-
Ter Delaware, but should experience no
dihieulty in winning. The game, how
ever. will be watched with interest, in
ssmuch as it will be the Red and Blues
irst showing under the tutelase of
John Heisman, the veteran mentor who
came I'D from Georgia Tech to succeed
Bob Folwell. The whole Eastern foot
ball world will be looking to see what
Heisman's first showing will display.
Penn State will entertain Mullen
berg at State College in what probably
will develop into track meet. For
State it probably will be an afternoons
exercise: for the Allentown eleven just
4 beating. The same goes for the
Syracuse Hobart contest. 1t will be an
opaprtunity for the Orange to timber
apSagainst some new faces, but for
hard practice the scrubs probably could
do better IN these two cases.
Rutgers Meets Ursinus
UYeT at new DruuS"iCh, NUISeIS Will
take on Ursinus. However, there Is
nothing to get excited about over this
game, which will probably consist
mostly of straight football and which
thereby will be only drab exhibition.
Rutgers figures to win by three touch
downs or more.
Lehigh is playing Lebanon Valley in
it's opening day contest and is apt to
receive some strenuous opposition.
Lebanon Valley hitherto has appeared
at q later date on the Brown and
Whites schedule and generally has put
up q good battle. Hobey Light, the
aashy back of last years Penn team,
10 coaching Lebanon this year. and be-
ing fast himself will probably have a
speedy and aggressive eleven on hand
to meet the Bethlehem aggregation.
There is one other game which may
be- rather closely contested. That is
she West Virginia-W West Virginia Wes-
leyan struggle at Fairmount. This
meeting in the past has generally taken
place at much later date. The Wes~
ieysn students always have given the
Mofgantown clever . close tussle and
will probably do so to-day. These are
about the Only games Of Importance on
the schedule.
