Warmers Football Team
Meets Lafayette; Wide
Interest in Early Games

There are two football games today
that should be reserved for later in
the fall, and were it not for the fact
the season is just getting under way
these games would attract wide atten-
ton. We refer to the Harvard Holy
Cross struggle at Cambridge and the
Pittsburgh Lafayette contest at Easton.
I'he Purple is primed to give the Cam
fridge students the game of their
young lives, while the Eastonians are
out to avenge their defeat of last sea-
son by Glenn Warmers pupils.
Last year Harvard had to fight like
Jury to beat the Worcester students
by single field goal. Holy Cross will
not have the services of "Chick"
Gagnon, its great halfback, to-day, but
II has an eleven, nevertheless, that is
aggressive and experienced. Those
who attend this game will witness a
regular mid-season contest, in which
real football probably will prevail. The
result looks like toss-up.
II Pittsburgh topples Lafayette this
afternoon there can De no disputing
Glenn Warmers ability as coach
Warner has a veteran and a classy
team. But so has his former pupil,
NV DUtHSl anu.
No Set-Up for Yale
Yale has no se%up, either. The Uni
versity of Vermont will be the oppo-
nent of the Blue to-day. Ordinarily
that wouldn't mean much. But Tom
and if there is anything Ready can
DO it is to make football team fight.
Yale will earn every point it makes
in this little grapple.
Princeton will open its season
against Swarthmore. Unless one is in
close touch with the Pennsylvanians
he can never figure the Swarthmore
eleven. Some years that team is ex-
ceptlonally strong. However, the
Tigers should win without any great
difficulty to-day.
There will be three games right here
in town. Columbia will open the sea-
son with Amherst, and it would seem
that score Of 35 to would not be too
high for the lccals' margin Of victory
The Blue and White has veteran
team, an outfit composed of big, heavy
fellows, who know more football to-
day than they did last year, and who
will know considerably more about the
grldlron sport by the time Coaches
O'Noill and Brooks finish with them.
Columbia Squad Improves
If the coaches can inject speed into
these fellows there should be no stop
ping them this season. They have i'm
proved tremendously since last year
and give promise Of ACCOMPLISHING
great things this fall. From what we
know of the men it would seem that
few fellows capable Of stepping around
lightly would help to speed up the at
tack and to make the defense a bit
Ia R,,t ~, IL.
Will develop versatility along with
power. To-day's game Will give an
idea Just how we'll the team is pro-
crossing.
New York University is also playing
its opening game. Hobart will be the
guest of the Violet There are no
rhenoms among the new candidates,
but if the fellows have the spirit and
are willing Ioungstrom and Gargan
will teach them how to play the game
This pair will probably produce good
team from what they have, team that
will be good enough at least to down
Hobart.
Fordham meanwhile will be enter
tanning Washington. a tea party here
would be a better entertainment 1t is
not likely that the visitors viii present
much opposition and the game probably
won't help the Bronx students much
in their development. However, Ford
ham will meet better teams later.
The Army candidates Will work out
against two teams in opening the sea
son. Springfield College, which is apt
to surprise the cadets, will play the
first game Of the double header and
New Hampshire State will wind up the
afternoon.
Cornell will start its season against
st. Bonaventure, the team that held
Colgate to TT tie last week APP
parcntly st. 3onaventurc's is making
progress in the game. But the Itha-
cans should win without much trouble.
IL they don't their machine will have
to be ovcrhauled.
Dartmou meeting Middlebury,
Brown playing Colby and Syracuse fac
ing Ohio University should all win
easily. The University of Pennsyl-
vania will tackle little Franklin and
Marshall, and if the Rcd and Blue in
tends to go after the scoring record it
has good chance to pile up points
this afternoon. Franklin and Marshall
isn't likely to deter them much in their
