The University association football team will play its first league game of the season with Columbia on South Field, New York, this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The sudden changes in the line-up on account of the rule forbidding men to participate in athletic contests in more than two seasons, materially lesson the chances of the University team. Columbia has, moreover, a stronger team than last year and has already defeated Cornell 9 to 0, and Yale 5 to 0.

The team will spend tonight in New York, at the Murray Hill Hotel, and leave tomorrow for Haverford, where they will play in the afternoon.

The line-up will be: HARVARD.  COLUMBIA. Waters, g.  g., Tallant Munroe, r.f.b.  l.f.b., G. Dwyer Pell, l.f.b.  r.f.b., Voskamp Grant, r.h.b.  l.h.b., Kistler Brooks, c.h.b.  c.h.b., Ferguson McQuade, l.h.b.  r.h.b., Hartung F. R. Leland, r.o.f.  l.o.f., O'Brien D. V.
