According to those who profess to
s,ow the inside of the football situa-
tion At the University. the Providence,
nj colcgians have written to the
T,,,veraity asking for date next fall.
Tbot there is possibility Of the game

nrominent graduate OF the University,
,r.bo stated TINT many years ago, about
siSSt, the Rcd and Blue played its last
zane with Brown and drew an cNor-
nous crowd.

Prominent graduates of the Tnivcr-
DIV OF two decades ago. who remcm-
bar the great games played with Brown.
are said 10 he strongly in favor of hav-
ing the New Euglnnders placed On the
schedule for 1922.
In the Embryo Stage
: AT present thu prospects for n gnmc
srt decidedly in the embryo stage. The
| Football Committee Of the University is
| busy corresponding with MANY colleges
| relative to games next year. and It
cannot be said with any degree "f
fnalty that this or that team will play
the Red and Blue.
Between thirty and forty colleges
and universities In all parts Of the coun-
fry have w"itten to the Football Com
nittee asking for dates on the sched-
ule next fail.
Two games have been definitely ar
ranged for next season, the opening and
closing ones. Franklin and Marshal.

. rhedule on that date. but inability to
secure a later date from Penn forced
the up-State cOllegians to decline tine
| Tiger offer
The last game on TIE Penn schedule is
| the Cornell one on Thanksgiving Day.
The fact that Penn will play the Ith0-
cans on Turkey Day sets at rest the
rumors that siftcd through the college
world during the past season to the ef-
feet that the Comedians expected to
play either Dartmouth or Columbia on
that date.
As for the remainder Of the
Perm schedule, everything Is IN tie
state Of purc conjecture. Some
sny that GettySburg ,rW get fhC
second game on tie schedule and
others rctou that the BdttIcfoM
coIlegiGnS Grcw tic smallest Crowd
Of the past season and ril be rClc.
gated to the bGCkGrOund.
Swdrthmore is certain to be on the
4 schedule. and so are Pitt and Dart
\ mouth. Thcy. with Cornell aud Frank
4 lin and Marshall. account for five Of thc
n nine games to be Played. Four teums
n remain to he plHccd. and of that mum
n ber, Penn state has the best chance of
getting on the schedule. The Navy Is
another strong possibility, along with
Centre College.
The Probable Schedule
With Gettysburg eliminated. the
schedule would start with +. nrd NJ.
followed by SwarthmOre, Centre, Brown.
Penn State, Dartmouth. pittsbu. gil.
Navy. and Cornell. All Of which is
speculation, but from comment heard Ia
and around the athletic circles at Penn
tNe teams named appear TO have the best
opportunity Of meeting Penn in 1922.
Negotiations with the Navy have been
going or for some time, and it l.. "x-
pecteI that before the council meets on
me sixteenth Of this north the game
will already have been arranged. Bob
folwell former Penn coach and now
mentor ut the Navy. and Commander
hlcha' dSon. of Annapolis, have been
