"Representative Schedules"

When a team meets Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Stanford, Holy Cross and Columbia, that is a representative schedule. Where Dartmouth has not eight or nine complete teams, fully equipped and ready to dobattle, as another institution has, Dartmouth can not play major games on every Saturday. There is a limit of endurance, and there is a limit as to how far a man may be pushed against the hardest sort of physical opposition on every Saturday during the football months. The spectators, who have not played the game, naturally look upon football as a spectacle, and are partially justified in demanding good games, but the players, who know the knocks and jolts that a single game produces not once but a thousand times, welcome the relief that comes with a minor opponent.

The question is not one of major teams playing setups. If a minor team wishes to remain in its class, it is its privilege to do so; the choice of schedules remains with each individual college as they see fit and as far as they can get games with selected opponents. It is hard to understand the hue and cry which is raised against these so-called setups when the choice is at home with the minor colleges.

On the minor college's side of the question there is much to be said in choosing a major opponent. First the choice must have been of their own free will, although the approaching might be done by the major college wishing to secure a game. Then, in choosing to play such a major college, the small team is ever desirous of scoring an upset, which frequently happens, and which reacts in favor of the underlings.
