With Cornell.

- what to them are the real
ly important games Of their
schedules. Topping the list, with
out doubt, in general interest is
Harvaro's visit to West Point, but
for other elevens engaged games
just as important are to be played.
Yale's visit to Chicago, for in
stance, is a gridiron event, and in
the matter of sentiment alone
should hold high place in the
years contests. Princeton'S meet
ing with Cornell and Dartmouth's
with Columbia also are worthy of
consideration among the more i'm
portant struggles.
Last year Army went over to Cam
bridge and took Harvard's measure,

Is featured by a visit of Harvard to
the Hudson's banks but also the first
test of a new coaching regime at that
university. Eddie Casey, former star
Crimson halfback, who for years
coached the freshman team, is low
head coach, and this will be the first
big game in s'hich Harvard has played
under his die ction. And Army is strong
enough to give Harvard a real test, if
its decisive victory over Michigan State
counts for as much as some people
think it should Michigan State. before

looked upon as one of the country
strongest elevens. Army seems to have
another fine team and Harvard I'M
doubtedly is making special preparation
with the probable result that the game
should stand out as one of the best
played in the East in many moons.

Chicago than most coaches have
lived. This is to be Yale's first trip
to the Middle West and will call for q
great gathering Of Yale men Of that
section. Yale, it is true, lost to Geor-
gia last week and Chicago dropped q
game to Michigan, but, after all, foot

teams may put up far more interest

OF the year are to take place between
Southern Conference schools. No con.
tests scheduled are likely to produce any
better foot ball than those between
Tulane and Vanderbilt and between
Tennessee and Alabama. And prob

games between Georgia and NORTH
Carolina, Georgia Tech and Auburn
and Kentucky and Maryland. And
while it will not rank by good dea
with the above games in general inn

contest at Columbia Is one between
great rivals, and for these two teams
Is the most important of the season.
