Cambridge. Mass. Nov el-The
climax of the eastern football season
Will be reached tomorrow afternoon
when the teams of Harvard and
Yale universities trot into the stad
ium on Soldiers Field to play the
thirty-fourth game between the
elevens Of these famous New Eng
land educational institutions. Time
was when the teams of Blue and
Crimson jerseyed players met with
goal line uncrossed and sole possess
ors of the right to play for the cas-
tern football championsh p, but
football conditions and fashions
have changed since the days of Het-
liefinger and mass play. As a conse-
quence Yale enters tomorrows con-
test with 4 seasons record marred
by defeat and scoreless ties with
minor college elevens, whil0 IIar-
ward. although undefeatel, shares
prestige with at least one New En-
gland gridiron aggregation.
Notwithstanding this unusual sit
uation there is not the slightest les
sening of interest or rivalry in the
meeting OF the famous elevens, and
the scenes OF enthusiasm and ex-
citement that have preceded this
football battle for the past tweney
years are being re-enacted both
here and at Boston tonight with ad-
ded vim and vigor. The colors of
the two competing universities nut-
ter from the windows and doors
oughout the residential and bust
ness sections for miles around
Commercial window dressers have
excelled all previous efforts In their
displays combining the Crimson an,
the Blue, and mimic football battlep
are presented tonight behind scores
OF plateglass barriers.
Hotel accommodations are at a
premium, and songs and cheers OF
both the Yale and Harvard cohorts
rise from the Hub and its suburbs.
Fair weather and a fast field alone
are needed to complete the setting

assured. The few coupons that have
reached the speculators are bring
ing extraordinary prices, for twic,
the stadiums capacity would no

So far as the actual play is con-
cerned, there is a wide difference OF
opinion regarding the contest and
its outcome. On the general form OF
the season Harvard should rank a,

Changes in Metropolitan Insurance
Company Districts When Car
bondale Man Comes Here. !.
NEW CENTERS ESTABLISHED
IN THREE DIFFERENT CITIES
Superintendents Of Agencies in Town
to Complete Preparations fer
the Change

A number of changes have been
made in the districts of the Metro
politan Insurance Company on ae-
count OF the transfer of Superintend-
ent Edwin Bond from Cairo to De
troit. Mich. The CIrbondale cis-
triet has been abolished and will
be absorbed by the new Cairo dis
trict under the superintendency OF
y. d. Dill, who is now the superin-
tendent at Csrhondale.
In making the transfer of a super
intendent. the company sometimes
considers il advisable TO reduce the
number OF assistant superintendent
cies and branches in order that the
incoming superintendent, who is un-
familiar with the territory, will not
have too much on his hands. Sshen
Mr.. Bond was transferred to Cairo
in 1908, the district was cut in two,
and he has built It up to Include So
towns. The new Cairo district will
take in 40 towns, all of them being
In Southern Illinois.
New Districts Made.
In order TO take care OF the towns
removed from the old Cairo district
it is necessary to organize disteiets
az Poplar Bluff to handle Missouri
and Arkansas towns, Paducah to
handle Kentucky towns and Jackson
to handle Tennessee towns. Ap-
pointmonts for the superintendents
OF these districts have not yet been
made.
Superintendents of Agencies E. H..
Wilkes, who has charge of Michi-
gan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
illinois, and Bradley. who has charge
OF Kansas. Iowa, Missouri. Arkan-
sas and Nebraska both men OF New
York, were in the city yesterday
completing the preparations for the
changes which will go into effect
December s. Mr.. Dill was here from,
Carbondale at the same time, tamil
iarizing himself with his future no
sition.
Other Changes in Staff.
Several other changes in she staff
have been announced, and more will
be announced later Miss Florence
Pellett OF Carhondalc, wi | succeed
Miss Grace Kerr as assistant cashier
here and Miss Kelr will take the
cashiership OF the Poplar Bluff of
ice. Miss Charlotte Sloo, formeri.
stenographer at the local office, will
be Mr.. Bonds stenographer In De.
troit.
J. d. Di ! began his career with
the Metropolitan company as agent
at Sikeston nine years ago. In 1908
he was promoted to the Superin-
tendency at Carbondale and has held
that Office until his promotion here.
Edwin Bond started in South Chi
eago Il years ago. Later he was
promoted to assistant superintend
ent at Kankakee, and in 1903,
opened a district in Bloomington

Cairo. The transfer 40 Detroit is
considered a distinct promotion, as

of the best in the United States.
