lines of men in close combat, know
again the lodging, twisting turns
of elusive backs, the slap OF
hard hands against leather head
guards, the exhortations of men
to other men to put forth even
greater effort than tired, sweat
ing bodies seem capable Of, and
produce again the elation of vic
tory and the deadening effect Of
defeat.
The strains of music from col
lege bands, the ringing cheers Of
countless thousands and banks Of
color against the gray of concrete
stands, too, will help to usher in
the real beginning of what many
think should be the greatest year
foot ball has known.
No section of the whole land will
escape the attraction held by gridiron
struggles. Games are to be played
everywhere, and IN some few cases
games are scheduled that may be real
games instead of the usual openings, in
which good team easily whips { weak
one. In stad old New England elevens
march forth to battle, In the older
but perhaps less staid South even more
games are to be played and In the Mid
die West, Far West and Southwest
coaches are slated to make their first
talks before the beginning of what is
for them almost a killing grind. &.
Yale VIII Start.
Yale is the leading eleven of the
East to start tomorrow. Playing two
games, early in October, those with
Maryland and Georgia, In which 1t has
made poor ShowtngS the last two sea-
sons, the Blue is determined to be in
shape TO do to those teams what it feels
is has every perfect right to expect to
do. OF course, what those teams think
about It is another side of the matter.
anyway. Yale is playing a. September
game the first time in years and is the
only one Of the Big Three to get in
action. Princeton, Harvard and Penn
do not open their schedules until Oc-
tober T. Yale's game tomorrow Is with
Maine, a game It should win by as big
score as it cares to run up.
Army again opens with Boston Uni
vers1ty, team 1t defeated last year by
rs to 0 and will defeat again tomorrow
by possibly bigger margin. For years
Columbia, one Of the biggest UNIVERSE
ties in the world from a standpoint of
students, has only held its own in foot
ball with teams far below It In size
and importance, but this year it hopes
to lay the groundwork for far better
things. Lou Little, Georgetown coach
Tor several years, Is in charge and
good deal Of interest win attach to his
team. Nearly everybody wants to know
whether or not the system which pro-
duced winning combinations for George
town VIII do the same for Columbia.
The other four big elevens in New
York State - Cornell. Syracuse, New
York University and Oolgate-play, re-
spectively, GARRISON, Rensselaer,, Ho-
bart and St Lawrence. All the nrst-
mentioned group should be easy win
ners.
In the Pennsylvania group practical
~ all schools play except the dUnivcr-
sity OF Pennsylvania. Penn State opens
with Niagara and Pittsburgh with
Waynesburg. Lehigh and Lafayette,
Just as great rivals as Penn State and
Pitt, meet UrSinus and st. Thomas.
Bucknell meets Geneva and Washing
ton and Jefferson entertainE Bethany.
Wolverines Ambitious.
Besides the game with which Yale
opens its schedule, Dartmouth, Brown
and Holy Cross, usually the next strong

Island State and st. Bonaventure.
In the Middle West five of the 10
Western Conference elevens begin their
schedules. Michigan is the most am.
bilious Of the two big universities in
that section, having two contests, one
with Ypsilanti and the other with
Denison. Probably the Wolverines viii
not have fun afternoon even at that.
Indiana has game with Miami. Iowa
plays Bradley, Ohio State meets Mount
Union and Minnesota has q contest
with Lake Forest
Stanford against the Olympic Club of
San Francisco probably viii be the best
game in the Far West. Last year STAN
fore baGely won by one touchdown. The
Olympia Club usually is strong enough
TO battle any eleven to a close ending.
Some Of the other most important games
IN the Far West are California VS.. San
Ia Clara, Idaho vs.. Montana State, Ore
gon VS.. Willamette, Oregon State VS..
Gonzaga.
The three strongest teams in the
Southwest have games they all should
win Southern Methodist against How
ard Payne, University of Texas vs..
Texas Mines, Texas A. and M. and
Southwestern.
At least two contests scheduled by
Southern Conference elevens may be
close. The first is that at Durham, in
which two conference eleVens, Duke and
South Carolina. appear. It is unusual
for conference game to open the sea-
son, but that is what is happening in
this case. Very little about the Duke
squad has come out of Durham this
year. and that may mean that Jimmy
Dehart Is working to make his team on
the field instead Of having others work
ing to make it in the newspapers. It
: would be q great joke on the Duke
people IT Dehart were to turn out a
real foot ball team IN his last year there.
And that may happen. The writer
knows Of two coaches who were slated
to lose their jobs two years ago, but
they won the final games, were retained,
srlc both last Fall came through with
great teams. probably much better
teams than would have been developed
had they not been held.
OgiethoFpe Confident.
The other Southern game that may
develop some great foot ball Is Georgia
VS.. Oglethorpe. Last Fail Georgia took
a whipping at the hands of the Pres
byterians. Is TO z, and that whipping
has ranked in Georgia hearts evel
since. It has no desire to have the bit.
