Then. again. the so-called start of
practice may not mean so much after
all. because Ii IS understood that con-
siderable attention was paid to foot
ball last fall at all three universities.
The writer recently was told that
Yale pYacttced all last winter, that 1t
kept more than a hundred men out.
and that scrfmmages were held reg
ularIy. II that be true. then Yale
should not worry much about missing
week >or ten days in Septem ber.
Whether or not foot ball work DUR
ing the winter and early spring was
carried out at Harvard and Princeton
to anything like this extent Is not

New Haven and Cambridge should be
little more than practice affairs pos
sibly excepting the one at New
Haven. several contests are scheduled
In various sections which are pretty
sure TO be just about as strenuous as
any of the year. Chief. among games
of this type is that here between
Georgetown and Marines. the nlino ois-

are likely to see at9Rny time during
the height of the season.
Aud another game I'm which the fur

Lafayette and Pittsburgh. With

for the last three years. Warner at
Pittsburgh and his former pupil,
Sutherland, at Lafayette have turned
out great teams. and games in which
the other have developed some fine
foot ball.
Down Mt Atlanta the Virginia MIL
will do battle in one Of the games
which should be almost as good as
any to be played in the south, Both
schools have been working out for
a long time and each Is of the cpin-
ion that this game means as much to
It as any other contest on its sched-

While the gnmes that give greatest
promise have been mentioned, sew

are Of special interest locally and
others which will be of general in

at Charlottesville ought to be fairly

schools will have scouts present
watching one or the other of the
teams. Last fall Virginia barely
did get victory over Richmond and
was actually outplayed during the
greater part of the contest.

anything other than beating. its

previous time in it's foot ball history.
Maryland will send to Philadelphia a
