see the rejuvenated bisons in action on the home gridiron one week from tomorrow hiram college will try its strength against that of u b.'s stalwart defenders on no vember 16th the bulls wind up the season at geneva stacking up against hobart the genevans have been taking a heavy beating this year at the hands of first class eastern teams and could not get back in step last week against clarkson nevertheless they will be a tough bunch to beat tomorrow the blue and white squad locks horns with what opposi tion long island can afford and according to all reports that oppo sition will not be of a character to be slighted long island has a heavy team which alone will be a big point in their favor will buffalo beat long island taking comparative scores for what they are worth the fact that upsala beat long island 14 to 0 would in dicate a slight advantage for buf falo however adding the 13 points by which rochester beat r p i and the six points by which rensselaer won over long island gives rochester an apparently smaller rating over long island than over u b and therefore a slight advantage for the opponents the result — as great a quandary as before — will buffalo beat long island the squad is leaving tonight with that objective before them except for minor injuries every man on the squad is in good condition and anxious to get into the fight to bring home student
