1919 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
March 1919

The varsity football schedule for the 1919 season, as announced late in February by Graduate Manager Pender, indicates some radical changes in the Athletic Council policy. Most noticable among the several unexpected features is the absence of Princeton from the list, due supposedly to the recently formed Harvard-Yale-Princeton athletic combination. To fill the gap left by the loss of the Orange and Black, Cornell appears on the schedule for the first time in many years. The new arrangement is generally considered to be the first step toward a Dartmouth-Cornell-Columbia-Penn combination, which would go a long way toward balancing competition in eastern collegiate athletics.

Of the eight games on the 1919 list, five are to be played in Hanover, with Penn State and Colgate the Green's leading opponents at home. The out-of-town games are to be staged in the two main alumni centers, New York and Boston. Dartmouth will meet both Cornell and Penn in New York City, before closing the season with the annual Brown game in Boston. The complete schedule is as follows:

September 27 — Springfield Y. M. C. A. College at Hanover.

October 4 — Norwich at Hanover.

October 11 — Massachusetts Aggies at Hanover.

October 18 — Penn State at Hanover.

October 25 — Cornell at New York.

November 1 — Colgate at "Hanover.

November 8 — University of Pennsylvania at New York.

November 15 — Brown at Boston.
