Brown and B. U.
Will Try Out Play
System in Grid Game

Providence, r. l., Nov. 6-(AP)-
The football teams of Brown and
Boston University were prepared to-
night to make gridiron history in
their meeting tomorrow in the new
amphitheatre at Brown by testing
for the first time the play system"
of measuring periods. While through
out the country mighty elevens are
contesting for supremacy on many
fields. football critics have intimated
that at least a part of their interest
will be centered on the game here
and on the success or failure of the
experiment.
The stop watch will be discarded
and the periods measured by the
completion of 40 plays. A special
addition to the scoreboard has been
made to enable players and specta-
tors to follow the game, while the
officials chosen for tomorrow's con-
test have been familiarizing them
selves with the new system. Real
izing that the future of the play
system depends to a certain extent
on its success tomorrow. the ath-
1etic authorities of the two colleges
have been making every effort TO
have this innovation fairly tested.
Local interest has been high and a
record minor game crowd is ex-
pected. --a,e
Those favoring the system claim
that it offers remedy for the stall
ing" tactics frequently INDUCED in
by the team which has acquired a
lead; and that it does away with the
uncertainty and suspicion of timing
accuracy and the frantic efforts of
the distanced team to save time
through the forward pass, frequently
incompleted. Both players and spec
tators, it is asserted, are better able
under the play system to know the
exact progress Of the game.
Opponents of the plan. have sug-
gested that it may result in abolish
ing the forward pass, but the others
claim it will merely restrict that
form of attack to it's legitimate uses.

EASTERN BATTLES
GRAB LIMELlCHT
ASATTRACTIONS

New York, Nov. 6-(By the Asso-
Gated Press)-Tinges of red, signs OF
football confagration, flared at two
great battlefields on the eastern front
tonight as invaders approachd-the
Crimson of Cambridge and the Car
nelian of Cornell
In this sectional strife, east pltted
against east in traditional struggles,
the advance of the western attackers
has almost been forgotten.
That Notre Dame comes east TO
face Penn State and Ohio Wesleyan
advances on Syracuse is of interest
but of little Importance to the east
ern situation, for both Penn State
and Notre Dame have been beaten
ond Syracuse is expected to have lit
tie trouble with the Ohioans. These
are the only intersectional meetings
of the day.
Cornell and Dartmouth, two unde-
feated and high scoring machines
facing each other at Hanover, N. H.
will command the attention OF foot
ball students, for one Of the greatest
contests of the season is expected
there. Enthusiasm over Harvard ana
Princeton, both conquered in earlier
SdIuSS, 10 just dS dppebi VIZ 90 80 -
years, but perhaps confined more to
the faithful followers of both elevens
than ever before.
The Red of Ithaca and the Green OF
Hanover should be blended in col
orful spectacle with every regular IN
perfect condition. A damp field. caus-
ed by repeated frosts in the cold hills
of New England, will give neither
squad an advantage. for both lines
are powerful, fast-changing phalanx-
es and the backfelds are Of the
plunging, tackle splitting type. There
should be an exceptional duel be-
tween Oberlander Of Dartmouth and
Gassner of Cornell.
Failing Of gains by old-fashioned
methods, either eleven is capable OF
playing the forward passing game.
1t was in that way that Dartmouth
won, 81 to IA, at the Polo Grounds
here a year ago, and Cornell Is said
to have been primed for an aerial
thrut. Dartmouth rules favorite by
reason Of victories over Harvard and
Brown, while Cornell's greatest con-
quest of the year was scored against
Columbia a week ago by a small
margin.
Harvard has high hopes in its en-
gagement with Princeton, the first
game of the big three" series. 1t has
been a very lean year for the Grim
son but a victory in Palmer Stadium
will wipe out all previous defeats.
All of the regulars, except perhaps
Saltenstall at end, will be ready for
the battle Of their lives,
Princeton's Tigers are prepared,
expecting an exacting contest. Their
season. too, has been poor, with a tie
against the navy and defeat at the
hands of Colgate.
Holy Cross and Fordham. both UNI
defeated, come to grips at the Polo
Grounds, with the New England elev-
en- a slight favorite after conquerins
Harvard.
Pittsburgh and Washington and
Jefferson. meet in the new Pitt Stadi-
um with the Painters endeavoring to
avenge a 10 to defeat by the Presi-
dents a year ago.
Other games of interest in the east
ern zone are: Yale versus Maryland
Wesleyan versus Williams. lafayette
versus Rutgers. Columbia ver5us New
York University. Colgate versus Pro-
violence and Navy versus West Mary
land.

COLBY PRIMED FOR
GAME WITH WORKERS
ELM CITY TODAY
Especial to the kennebec JournaD

Especial to the kennebec Journal)
Waterville, Me-, Nov. 6.-St.
Stephens and Colby fight it out on
Seaverns Field, Saturday afternoon
The New York boys are considered
to be very worthy opponents for the
Waterville team. They lost to Bow
doin by q. single point the first game
of the season while Colby defeated
the Brunswick Bears by a single
drop kick. From this comparison
the two teams seem to be evenly
matched. But even with the scores
comparing so closely, the two shouio
be hard to dope as the Colby team
did not 20 as well last week as they
did against Bowdoin while 1t Is SAID
that the st. Stephens team mas I'M
proved a great deal since the nrst
game at Brunswick. They have de-
yeloped an offense to work along
when their strong defensive line is
not in action. The two lines COM
pare very closely with Colby haV-
ing the slightest of an advantage.
In the backfield the two teams are
about even.
Colby will start without their star
kicker, Evan johnson, who has been
the best of the Blue and Gray punt
ers since the first of the year. HIS
running with the ball will also be
missed. MacLean will be used In
his place.
The greatest loss in the line is
that of Tom O'Donnell, last year all
Maine center, who is out with q
bad eve. O'Donnell was the best
man in the Colby line last Saturday
against Maine and when the rest of
the team did not measure up to Its
usual standard he was the only man
to be depended upon.
The only other injury which may
keep a man out of the game to-
morrow is a bad knee which Smith,
left end, received last, week in the
Maine game. He will be replaced
by Callaghan, the best left end on
the Colby list of substitutes.
The Colby offense will probably
center around the line. The for
ward string is the strongest part of
the team at present with Johnson
out of the backfield.
The team that will start Will
probably see the following men in
the lineup: right end, Fotter: right
tackle, Keith: right guard. Peacock;
center, Calm; left guard, Cowing;
left tackle, Heal; left end, Callag-
han: quarterback, Erickson; right
halfback, Mathers; left halfback,
MacLean: fullback, Drummond.
