BROWN SCHEDULES 18 GAMES

The Brown baseball schedule has been released. The schedule includes 18 games, five less than last year, with one date still open. The shorter schedule is due to the season opening a little later than in previous years.

The season will open with the game with Maine on April 11 and will close with the game with Leland Stanford. The latter team is making an Eastern trip at about that time and will play the game with Brown on Commencement Day, June 20.

The team will meet the Providence Internationals at Providence in three games early in the season. Princeton appears on the schedule once and two games will be played with each of the following: the University, Dartmouth, Yale and Holy Cross.

The schedule follows:

April 11: Maine at Providence.

April 14: Providence Internationals at Providence.

April 18: Rhode Island at Providence.

April 1: Providence Internationals at Providence.

April 25: Providence Internationals at Providence.

April 28: Princeton at Providence.

May 2: Trinity at Providence.

May 5: Dartmouth at Hanover.

May 9: Tufts at Providence.

May 12: Harvard at Soldiers Field.

May 16: Yale at New Haven.

May 19: Seton Hall at Providence.

May 26: Dartmouth at Providence.

May 30: Harvard at Providence.

June 2: Holy Cross at Providence.

June 9: Yale at Providence.

June 16: Holy Cross at Worcester.

June 20: Leland Stanford at Providence.

Season Proved Unsuccessful.

The past soccer season was very unsuccessful from the point of view of the league. Therefore plans are being made to start the season earlier next year in order that the games may be over before bad weather comes. The following article was written by Lawrence Perry, sporting editor of the New York Evening Post:

"There is a movement on foot so to arrange the 1917 schedule of the Intercollegiate Soccer League as to permit the playing of all the games by the first Saturday in December. After that time grounds are not likely to be in good condition and the result is poor soccer or postponed games. All of the teams except Haverford got under way at an earlier date than usual this season, and as a consequence the Main Line eleven was the only team that prevented the completion of the schedule before hard weather set in. Soccer is a fine game, a good game in itself and valuable in the influence it exerts in bringing into athletic competition boys who would otherwise have no intercollegiate sport medium. The writer confesses to a lack of knowledge concerning the finer points of the game, but a Philadelphian--the home of soccer--has thus set down his impressions of the various teams of the Intercollegiate League; Pennsylvania he says, was the most adept, showing a greater knowledge of the game and playing it with a higher degree of skill than any of the other teams.

"The team as a whole, with the individual skill of the players in short and long passing, heading, kicking, trapping and intercepting was very noticeable. He found the Princeton eleven next in order of strength and skill, the high de- gree of combination and individual skill characteristic of Pennsylvania being absent. There was a great deal of ability in the team however. The goal was good, the backs were strong, kicking and clearing well and with judgment. They were also fast.

"The real strength of the team lay in the halfback line and particularly in the centrehalf. Haverford was below standard in every department save that of goal keeper.

"Harvard, he says, was really as good a team as Haverford in skill and speed, but not so good a goal keeper. Like Haverford, the team plays the long passing game, quick on the ball and strong in the passes. The Crimson did not have the headwork of Haverford, but was a heavier team. Goal was good, and the backs were very steady, charging strong and well and with good judgment.

"The Yale team is described as an excellent example of good material gone to waste. The players, from the goal keeper to the forwards, were individually above the average of either Princeton, Haverford or Harvard, but there was no combination of any sort, and the fine individual work was completely thrown away. The Cornell team is regarded as considerably below the average of the Cornell teams of the last two seasons. There was no really good individual work except in the half back line by the left half. The tactics of the other players were elemental in the extreme, and lack of coaching was very evident.
