THE FOOTBALL SCHEDULE

The minds of critics both within and without the University should be put at ease by the recent publication of the schedule of games for next year's football season. It is no easy program that begins with a "double-header"--an entire innovation in the annals of University football--that includes games with Penn State, Georgia, Centre, Indiana, and finishes with Princeton and Yale.

All in all, there will be six strong, dangerous teams to meet before the University finally clinches with its rivals from Princeton and New Haven. At least one of those teams--Penn State--was ranked with Harvard in the "second group" of eastern teams this year.

The other elevens are well above the last few years' standard of preliminary games.

Harvard welcomes the opportunity to meet increasingly rugged opposition in early-season contests. The University has too long laid itself open to adverse criticism and the charge of wrapping itself in cotton wool. The new schedule will effectually silence all such complaints.
