New Tork. Aug. 11. Intersections! games stand out M the feature of the football Mason of which will be under way before another three weeks hare been checked from the calendar. Almost every section of the country will be represented in these gridiron clashes and indications point to unusual Interest and - enthusiasm in the great American college game this Tall Close to three months' Play will he witnessed this season,' as the opening game is scheduled for September II and the closing contests will not be stage until December Each year the number of games Increases 'and the coming season finds more games scheduled than was the case twelve months ago., According to the list prepared In connection with the revised rules of play, the teams of the leading colleges and universi ties of the country will figure In more than thirteen hundred contests, while the preparatory and high school elev ens will compete in more than twice that number, bringing the total close to the five thousand mark. A comparison of the schedules for the coming season and those of the past few years shows a number of changes. The Carlisle Indian School eleven, which has made football his tory In the past, does not appear among the leading competitors for gridiron honors and Columbia Uni versity is again found listed for games with colleges which are close to the first flight of Eastern football Insti tutions. There is an unusual number of contests scheduled for Fridays, al though the Saturday games are still overwhelmingly in the majority. Al though the so-called championship games are hot scheduled until the closing weeks of November, the height of the season, so far as the number of games is concerned, will be reached late in October and the following two Saturdays when the principal college contests each day alone pass the hundred mark. The climax comes with the playing of the Harvard-Yale game at New Haven and the Army-Navy game at New York on the same day November 25. On the basis of past attendance and receipts these two games should at tract close to 160,000 spectators while the gate receipts will probably exceed $200,000. Among the more important Inter sectional games are those between Syracuse and Ohio, Army vs. Wash ington and Lee, Yale and Virginia, Harvard va North Carolina, Illinois and Colgate, Minnesota and North Dakota, Virginia Poly vs. Yale, Georgetown and Dartmouth, Michi gan meeting with Syracuse, Pennsyl vania and Cornell during the season, Harvard and Virginia, Notre Dame vs. Army, Missouri vs. Texas, Dart mouth va West Virginia, Bucknell and Washington and Lee. Efforts are still being, made to bring a Pacific coast university eleven East for one or two big games and there will be the usual intersectional contests be tween the leading school teams of the Middle West and the East immediate ly following the close of the regular Interscholastic schedules. The University of California win be the first on the gridiron this Fall, the Berkeley team getting Into action on Saturday, September Is. - Seven days later Dartmouth, Harvard a.nd Georgetown will be among the larger colleges to start active football com petition. On the last Saturday of Sep tember Cornell, Princeton, Syracuse, Army, Navy, Pennsylvania, Yale, Ten- nesseep Texas, Virginia, and a few of the Middle Western colleges will play their opening games. Michigan starts her gridiron campaign on the follow ing Wednesday and on Saturday, Oc tober T, Chicago, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Wisconsin and other mem bers of the -conference follow suit. Tale will' depart from the conven tional on Friday, October 20, by play ing Virginia Poly at New Haven, but this Is an exceptional move made nec essary by the fact that the Yale Bowl will be used on Saturday for the staging of a special pageant The last Saturday of October will witness the initial meetings of the elevens of the larger universities of both the East-and West and the results of these games will have a direct bear ing on the final outcome of the cham pionship claims of the contending teams. Cornell will line-up against Harvard, Dartmouth will tackle Princeton, Michigan will 'have Syra cuse as an opponent Pennsylvania and Pittsburg clash. North and South Dakota meet in their annual game, Tennessee plays the University of Florida, Vanderbllt and Virginia come together and Yale will seek to defeat Washington and Jefferson. The opening Saturday of November will witness the following important games: Harvard vs. Virginia; Dart mouth vs. Syracuse, Army vs. Notre Dame; Minnesota vs. Illinois; Mis souri va Texas; California vs. South ern California; Yale va Colgate; Pennsylvania va Lafayette; Washing ton vs. Oregon; Chicago va Purdue, and Georgetown vs. Louisville.

A Fight to Submit It at Next Session Legislature. Observer's Columbia Bureau. Columbia, S. C, Aug. 19. The sentiment In favor of ecwial suffrage Is growing In South Carolina and there is little doubt, but that a hard fight will be made at the next ses sion of the Legislature to submit the ouestion to the voters of the State. The question would undoubtedly meet defeat at the hands of the vot ers, yet the women who are behind the movement believe firmly that the right to vote will be granted before many more years. There are 15 candidates for the Legislature In Richland County. The county equal suffrage league held a meeting last night and put the. mem bers on record as to their views on suffrage. Practically all of the can didates favored submitting the ques tion to the people. The attitude of Mr. Hughes was disapproved. Presi dent Wilson's stand on the question of equal suffrage was indorsed. The question of granting women the right to vote was brought before the State Democratic convention last May and a resolution was adopted urging the Legislature to pass such a law as would trive the people the light to decide the matter.
