OF Prospects for (Jood Contests on the Eastern Fields, Where Big Gaines Begin October 10. There are many people nowadays who take such an interest in football as to practically spend the Fall In following this sport, writes Walter Camp, the best known living authority on -the great col lege game. In the Philadelphia Press. Not only to those,' but to the ones who have an opportunity to. see an occa sional game only. It may be of interest to know what dates to hold open and what games to see as probably providing excitement and sport. Up to ard Including October 3, none of the games are of any great moment, unless one wishes to see how some of the material in the big teams Is break ing in; but about October 10 things be gin to take on a different complexion. Probably the best of the games sched uled for that day will be the Syracuse Carlisle game, at Buffalo. Carlisle's work the last season was exceptionally good, but so. In fact, was that of Syracuse. They met at an early date last year and the Indians defeated them .4 to S, although even then Syracuse put up a very strong game. This year they play on ' the 10th at Buffalo and the game should be one of considerable interest, and It will pay any enthusiast for the trip Penn State vs. U. of P. will give a line on the Philadelphlans, while Princeton-Lafayette should give more than a modicum of pleasure to those who wish to see how the New Jersey team is profiting from practice. On the following Saturday, October 17. the West Point-Yale game affords the best opportunity for the football fol lower to see a good contest, for West Point always plays at the top in this game against Yale. Yale carries a whole some respect for the soldiers from past experience. There .are other games, however, on the same date. Cornell plays Colgate at Ithaca; ' Holy Cross plays Bowdoln at Portland. Me.; Springfield Training School playa Harvard at Cambridge ; Michigan plays Notre Dame and Chicago plays Hlionis. Probably, however, the Penn-Brown game will be as interesting as any of these and in the South Vander bllt vs. Clemson. By October i4 the Interesting games have multiplied. Brown-Lafayette, at Providence; Harvard vs. Annapolis, at Annapolis; Penn vs. Indians, at Phila delphia; Princeton-Syracuse, at Prince ton: Holy Cross-Dartmouth, at Wor cester (an opportunity to see something of Dartmouth's heavy line), furnish enough to satisfy the most exacting. On the same day Yale plays Washington and Jefferson, at New Haven. But one who has been up to the Point the pre vious Saturday can have ecured a suf ficient line on Yale and they had better take the Penn-Indian game for excite ment, or either the Princeton-Syracuse or Harvard-Navy game, to study the de velopment of the teams. On Saturday, October 31, the Princeton West Point will be the game of the greatest interest to those In that section, while Brown-Harvard, at Cambridge, will furnish sport about Boston and the Navy vs. Carlisle, at Annapolis, for those farther South. Up In New York State Syracuse vs. Williams will give an op portunity for football enthusiasm at Syracuse, and farther West Chicago plays Minnesota In the principal game of the Western season, while Michigan plays Vanderbllt on the same day. Either the Western or Southern game will be well worth seeing. On November. 7 Brown and Yale meet few years. Mr. Hardie believes the is so near that Derhaps the next Presidential election win see nu new alignment of political forces. He says that If he had a vote In the United States he would give it to Debs. He intimated that he would return to New York In January to assist in organizing the So-. cialist and trades union movements in America into one polltioal force.'. at New Haven. Harvard takes on the Indians at Cambridge, always- an ex citing event; Cornell plays Amherst at Ithaca. West Point plays ' Springfield Training School at West Point, Prince ton plays Dartmouth (and there is strong rivalry here with memories of former games), and Penn plays Lafayette. On November 14 the game of the great est importance toward Eastern ranking is the Yale-Princeton, at Princeton. For East vs. West, Michigan plays Penn sylvania. Dartmouth plays Harvard at Cambridge, and the Navy plays Penn State, at Annapolis. , On Saturday, November . 21, .Yale and Harvard meet at' New Haven; Michigan plays Syracuse, at Syracuse (here Jones, the former Yale and present Syracuse coach. Is counting upon a great- struggle). Williams plays Amherst at Amherst. On Thanksgiving day the Pennsylvania Cornell game, at Philadelphia,', is the most Important in that section. Vander bllt meets Sewanee on the same day, and the St. Louis University takes on Carlisle. The following Saturday, November 28, the Army and Navy meet at Philadel phia, which practlcally-closes the Eastern season. - FRAUD CHARGES FALL FLAT Fairfax Election Workers 1 Cleared After Trial In Justice Court. TACOMA. Wash., Oct. 3. (Special.) The case against "Joe" Mitchell and Dr. B. F. Roberts, of Fairfax, for al leged, fraudulent practices in connec tion with the recent primary election, was threshed out in Justice Card's Court today and the defendants were acquitted immediately. It was shown that while the defendants may have been zealous in "getting out the vote." they had committed no wrong. Martin Messenger, the man they were alleged to have voted knowing he was not a citizen of the United States, was shown to be entitled to a vote. Attitude of "Little Bob" Is Factor in the Presi ;aJi , dential Race. DECLARES FOR TAFT Bnt Gives Republican Candidal Only Lukewarm Support, W hile His Brother Comes Out Openly for Bryan. MILWAUKEE, Oct. 3. (Special.)- Before William H. Taft made his trip through Wisconsin the state was re garded as doubtful politically. Demo crats declare that it is still doubtful. Whether It Is or not is largely a mat ter of opinion, but there is no division of opinion over the fact that Mr. Taft's appearance In Wisconsin has been highly beneficial to the Republicans. it was not particularly what Mr. Taft said while In the state or the Im pression he made that Is aiding tha party or making his friends feel good, but his coming served to bring Sena tor La Follette out of the woods and line him up on the side of Taft. His coming out was accompanied with much reluctance and little enthusiasm on his part. But he put himself on record just the same, and that was what Mr. Taft's friends wanted to do, for there were tens of thousands of Republican voters tn Wisconsin who wanted to know the attitude of "Little Bob" tn the campaign before they made their own decision as between Taft and Bryan. Manfully Senator La Follette made his position known and declared for Taft, whom he characterized as a "progressive," not because he likes Mr. Taffs platform, but more for party regularity, and most becomes he hopes four or possibly eight years from now to be . the- Republican nominee for President. For this reason he could not afford to bolt Taft and support Bryan, although Bryan stands for more of the things which La Follette advo cates than does Taft. It was an anx ious, moment for the Republicans who heard him when Senator La Follette arose on the platform with Taft to make ills decision known, and when he declared for the Republican nominee there was groat rejoicing, for they be lievV that that action at once took Wisconsin from the doubtful column. La Follette Does Little. Although Senator La Follette sent Mr. Taft a message of congratulation upon his nomination and a mild sort of promise of support, he has been saying little and doing still less to help him get the electoral vote of tha state. It should be understood that the right word from Senator La Follette would unquestionably throw Wisconsin to Bryan. His following Is bo devoted to1 him scarce anyone doubts that If he advised them t vote for Bryan they would do so. His declaration for Taft, however, causes Republicans to believe that a large portion of his per sonal following will go with him, while his lukewarm support of the ticket leads Democrats to think his support ers will understand his position, stand by his principles rather than his party and vote for Bryan. The fact is many will vote as he votes, while others be lieving that his heart is for Bryan and his cause will .continue to stand for the principle. This division causes whatever doubt there may be about Wisconsin. Had La Follette remained silent during the campaign that fact would have been taken as a disap proval on his part of the Republican platform, and Bryan would have stood a very good show-of carrying the state. There was no doubt great temp tation for the Senator to declare for Bryan. He saw the Republican Na tional convention turn down his pet planks by an overwhelming vote, and he saw the Democrats accept them unanimously. After a hard fight In his own state convention the Republicans rejected his policies, yet he decided to stand by the party. That means a saving of thousands of votes for Taft. Senator's Brother for Bryan. No such obligation to party, how ever, rests upon the Senator's brother, W. T. La Follette, who has come out squarely for Bryan. He accompanied Bryan on his trip through the state, and is doing all he can to swing La Follette Republicans to the Nebraskan. He declares that "Bob" is at heart a Democrat and should be a member of that party. He explains his brother's support of Taft by saying that while he favors Bryan's policies -he" is In much the same position that Bryan was four years ago with- respect to Parker, and that he is sticking to Taft only for the sake of regularity. When Bryan was .in Madison Sen ator La Follette attended his meeting and gave expression of approval to some of the sentiments which Bryan made. His attendance at the meeting, however, sitting In the audience and not upon the platform, was merely a courtesy to Bryan personally, for the two men are very warm friends. He did not attend to aid Bryan's cause. Both Candidates Welcomed. The fact that Bryan went over much the same course which Taft covered, and only a few days after .him, gave opportunity for a comparison of the character of the reception tendered to each. As a matter of fact, however, there was very little difference in manner of the welcome extended to the two candidates. If anything, per haps the throngs on the Btreets in Madison, for Instance, and along the route from Chicago to Madison, were a bit larger and a bit more demon strative for Bryan than for Tafi, but there was no apparent difference In the crowds which heard both. In neither instance were the people es pecially enthusiastic. They seemed to listen attentive to both men, and then to go home and think It over. Of course, Mr. Taft was at a disadvantage, for he was in very poor voice, and at times not a quarter of the people who came could hear what he said. They seemed to enjoy, however, just seeing the candidate, while his pleasant smile, his genial personality and good na ture won him many friends. Bryan's speeches might have been more effec tive, because his voice was stiU strong and clear. i
