COLLEGES PREPARE
 FOOTBALL SEASON l
Great Strides Taken in Game This
 Year as New Rules Prevail


 sports and rival of baseball in tn, publtc's highest regard, has made f, the last few years 1t sounds bromidi 10 say that the coming season will b, the greatest in the games history Yet that's the fact.
 The season won't start Any earlier nor is there likelihood of 1t extend ing past New Year's-the day of tn, usual carnival game at Los Angeles but 1t will be stuffed and choket from the first kick-off September ?; with the ingredients that bring hun. dreds of thousands away from warn fresides to freeze in cold blasts.
 Opponents of the inter -sectiona idea who have contended that the game was growing beyond bound. and becoming the god before which education was being sacrificed ge, small comfort from a perusal of the schedules. At least 70 games will be held that 1t will take at least a night on the sleeper for one of the oppos- ing teams to each.
 Contests Start On the five Saturdays beginning with October ' there will be at least six or seven intersectional contests, scattered all over the country Kan. sas is coming to West Point Georgia Tech and Princeton are going to Chi. cago the Praying Colonels" from Center college, Danville, Ky, are scheduled at Harvard. Nebraska has date with Syracuse. Notre Dame will tussel with Army at West Point. Ala bama will scrimmage with Pennsyl- vania at Philadelphla-iust to pick a few at random
 The season of 1922 marks further loosening of the monopoly that the east once had on the big contests. There are not only more games scheduled than ever before but there are more intersectional contests, and ntra-sectional matches of genuine importance than the pigskin dreamed of when it was more of a pig than a skin and could dream
 Yale and Harvard both said last fall that they would not tread in the path of Princeton and invade the Western conference Just the same the schedules shows that two weeks before the Tiger is clawing around at the university of Chicago. the Bull Dog will be snarling in Iowa.
 Harvard apparently Is satisfied with entertaining the team from the Blue Grass state
 ArmyNavy Games.
 New York city loses it's gridiron pie ture play. The Army and Navy game previously held at the Polo Grounds will be staged in the reconstructed Franklin field of the University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia In- half Is out for the remainder of the al Saturday, the same day as the Yale Harvard game.
 There will be several revivals of football relations between institutions that permitted their historic gridiron enmity to lapse. Notably among these are Harvard and Dartmouth
 One radical change in the rules will make the game a bit differsnt Instead of being confined ito trying for goal after touchdown by kick from placement the scoring eleven will be given the option of placing the ball anywhere beyond the five yard line with the privilege of putting it into play in scrimmage-a line plunge or end run, by passing, or by kicking a field goal. The ball must be put over with one try to get point score of one. The new play will be known as the "try for point
 A foul by the defending team when the "try for point" is being made au- tomatically gives the attackers the advantage, and if the attacking team fouls its attempt is vitiated.
 A player taken out in the first half cannot return until the second half and player taken out in the second
 The more important. but not all, of contest.
