Small Colleges Strong
By Raw Mccarthy

Paving over cur mail last night we
rake out the 1921 publication Of
Spalding's football guide. Ard when
that arrives you know that fall is nigh
and that the season of football struc-
giles is about to start
On turning to the schedule we found
nearly six full pages of games. Seems
as II this is nearly triple the number
that appeared in other years. Yes, in
dseed, football has also expanded slight
ly in popularity.
Of course, what the fans of New
York, and they are legion, numb ering
as they do thousands of alumni of the
various institutions, are mostly inter-
ested in is the number of good games
scheduled for New York and vicinity.
Followers of the gridiron will not want
tor good things this season, for begin
n!ng as early as September "a, scores
OF football struggles that will be real
battles will be waged every week.
Inc frst contest to be played right
mere ne, IN The city, will be that between
Eordham and the Maine huskies on
september ~. On that same day Yale
Will open with Bates and Harvard will
try the double header idea again with
Middlebury and Boston University as
opponents. A number of. the other
leading teams also will open on that
date.

will see them all in action. Princeton
Will tackle the tough little Swarthmore
eleven on that day. Yale will meet

upon to send down fighting team
put more of that later. Harvard will

hammered Holy Cross eleven. the
Army will take on both New Hamush

the city, acting as host to Amherst.
Fordham and New York University

On the following Saturday, October

and if Colgate improves as much this
season as it did during last with a
green team the Tigers will get real

Yale will meet North Carolina and
Harvard will encounter Indiana. The
best other attraction besides the
Princeton issue will be Columbia VS..
Wesleyan, at South Field. The Army

There are several knockouts for the
next week, October Is, most of which,
however, are away from this vicinity.
Columbia and New York University
will have their little family quarrel on
South Field, while Princeton is in
vading the quarters of the midship-
men at Annapolis. No need to say
what will happen down there. Harvard
will be at home to Georgia, weak
sister, and Yale will play with Will
liams.
The Army is going to bring Wabash
to the plains on that day, while up
at Syracuse what will be one of the
best contests of the day will be the
