The 1921 football schedule announced by the Athletic Council, provides for ten games for the Green warriors who will battle under Captain Jim Robertson. Two of the contests are "intersectional." To the older alumni, however, the schedule will be chiefly remarkable for the absence of Brown, which thus far has been unable to accept the only date remaining open. The statement issued by the Athletic Council in regard to the inability to reach an agreement with Brown is as follows:
"The council regrets that no football game with Brown appears on the schedule for 1921. Brown has no suggestion to make except November 19 in Boston, but this seems out of the question on account of the fact that on that day Harvard is playing Yale in the stadium.
"Dartmouth has offered to play Brown in Hanover, November 5 (Boston being impossible on that date because Boston College has an early option on Braves Field) but Brown has declined the offer, and so a game for 1921 seems impossible. Brown was offered a substantial guarantee for this game, and in return Dartmouth agreed to play the following year in Providence or any other place Brown might designate.
"The Dartmouth authorities hope that it will be found possible to enter into a homeand-home agreement with Brown beginning in 1922. It cannot be too strongly emphasized that all negotiations between the two institutions have been of the most friendly sort; and any talk of a 'break' has not the slightest foundation in fact."
The complete schedule consists of nine games, two of which are intersectional contests, and provides for five appearances in Hanover. According to previous agreement, Pennsylvania and Syracuse will be met in New York, and the Cornell game will he staged at Ithaca with the Doby men playing a return game in Hanover in 1922. The Green's invasion of outlying territory will be directed southward, the University of Georgia furnishing the opposition, November 26, at Atlanta. The complete schedule follows :
Sept. 24—Norwich at Hanover.
Oct. 1—Middlebury at Hanover. Oct. 8—N.8—N. H. State at Hanover. Oct. 15—U. of Tennessee at Hanover. Oct. 22—Columbia at Hanover. Oct. 29—Cornell at Ithaca.
Nov. 5—Open. Nov. 12—Penn at New York. Nov. 19—Syracuse at New York. Nov. 26—U. of Georgia at Atlanta.
