After the great strides that foot

sports and rival OF baseball In the
public's highest regard, has made in
the last few years It sounds bromide
to say that the coming season will be
the greatest in the games history.
Yet that's the fact.

Interest Growing
Opponents of the inter-sectional
iden who have contended that the
game was growing beyond bounds
and becoming the god before which
education was being sacrificed get
small comfort from a perusai OF the
schedules. At least 40 games will be
held that I, win take at least nigh,

Fast No Longer First
The season of 1892 marks furth-

the east once had on the big contests.

New York Loses Game
New York city loses its gridiron
picture play. The army and navy
game previously held at the polo
grounds will be staged in the recon-
structed Franklin Field OF the Univ
ersity OF Pennsylvania at Philadel-
phia. Instead OF being played on
the traditional Saturday following
Thanksgiving 1t will be played on the
preceding Saturday. the same day as
the Yale-Harvard game.

football relations between institu-
tions that permitted their historic
gridiron enmity to lapse. Notably
among these are Harvard and Dart

One radical change In the rules
will make the game a bit different.
Instead OF being confined to trying
for goal after a touchdown by kick

the ball anywhere beyond the five
yard line with the privilege OF put,
