RIBBONS TO OPEN
 LEAGUE SEASON IN
 BASKETBALL HERE

The Interstate Basketball league season opens tonight in this city when the Jersey City five will clash with the Blue Ribbons at Colonial hall. Manager Leavy has new lineup this campaign and he expects it will be faster than the old combination He hopes to win the league champion ship.
 He will have Captain Beckman and White on the forward line, Harvey at center, and Murray and Swenson guards. Harvey is one of the best centers in the league, while Murray formerly with the crack Sheepsheads is strong guard. The Jersey City team has such star players as Reich, F'yfe, Wright and Barger. Action in league games will be continuous be- cause the use of a net prevents the ball from going outside The baskets will not have backboards as in inde- pendent games. The big contest starts at 8:30, with dancing to follow There will also be a good preliminary.

FAVOR ARMY TO
 DOWN NAVY BOYS
 IN ANNUAL BATTLE

New York, Nov. 6-Saturday after noon Babe Brown, assistant coach of the Navy eleven, husky, sinewy and robust as ever sat in the stand facing the plains at West Point watching the agile Army eleven play the Notre Dame football team. The sight was not especially pleasing to the former Navy star
 Sent along to gather a line on the work of the Army eleven, Lieutenant Brown found but little to please his critical eye and noted but few things, ' announcement of which can cause any glow of enthusiasm when poured into the listening ears of Navy coaches and Navy players.
 For that is what the rest of that gathering who watched the Cadets humble and bewilder the Notre Dame Hoosiers thought of the performance. Talk about your versatile, varied and voluminous attack. If the Cadets didn't have all of that and some more. then you've got to cart 'em in on wheels, equipped with wings, non- skids and airbrakes.
 Seriously, the outcome of the con- tests staged by the service elevens Saturday leaves but feeble guess between the two for the annual game. which will be staged at the Polo Grounds on November 25. Just now l it certainly looks like the Army. You can accept it as a fact that in Ohphant, the Hoosier Hurricane, the : Cadets have one of the best in the game at running with the ball. AL so in this same Oliphant they have a man who can heave forward pass as swiftly and surely as Bancroft chucking a runner out at first. Also 1 in Gene Vidal, the Dakota Darter, they possess an athlete who can gath CT in pass with the surety of a Hal Chase spearing an easy peg to first bag.

VILLA NOVA BOYS
 LOSE TO CHAIN co,

A good sized crowd saw the Ameri- can Chain Co. eleven beat the Villa Nova college tea at Newfield park by 19 to Saturday afterpeon. The col legians played a clean, snappy game and their exhibition was well received by the fans. Fumbling hurt their chances in the first half but in the fourth period they were going at top speed. Forward passes and steady gains by McGeehan of the backfeld gave the Villa Nova boys opportuni- ties to advance.
 The Chain players got going early. They made full use of their weight and by plllng up good score were able to rely on defensive tactics in the latter part of the battle. Because of bad weather yesterdays game with the Valley A. c. of Newark, N. J., was called off.

(BY Wagnerl


 The justly famous sieve or the toothsome Swiss cheese have nothing on the Yale line when it comes to holes. Just at present the Yale line has more holes than a golf course. AL ter seeing the Colgate backs plunge through for big gains fast Saturday the Yale coaches must have coined some new cuss words between the halves. There is no denying the fact that in Spencer and Hubbell of Colgate, Yale encountered two of the best backs in the east Both entered the con- test in poor condition, however, and Spencer had to leave the game before the first half ended. When he quit most of the punch was substracteo from the Colgate attack.
 But the Yale forwards will be ex- pected to stop backs of this calibre in the Princeton and Harvard games Unless there is big improvement in the next two weeks they won't be able to hold the enemy in check. The Yale linemen failed utterly in the first half to stop the fast charging Colgate backfield men and the gaps opened by the Colgate forwards were big enough for torchlight parade to pass through.
 Tn this half Colgate gained 15O yards and made first downs frequent ly. Yale got only one first down when LeGore sprang a 35 yard run. In the second half Colgate was worn down by the fast pace and gained only 70 yards to ITO for Yale.
 It was a peculiar fact that the break in the game which gave Yale a chance for victory should have been a missed drop kick by Harry LeGore. The kick went short and Colgate had to put the ball in play on the four yard line. The Colgate punter boot ed the ball out of bounds on his own 20 yard line and this proved the turn ing point of the battle. Yale was en- abled to rush the ball for short gains until the Colgate line stiffened on the five yard mark and the forward pass was used for the much needed touch down.
 Colgate's play in every department except kicking was fully as good as Yale's. It was the poor kicking that made possible the downfall of Coach Bankhart's pupils. The forward pass ing, although not used so frequently as by Washington S Jefferson, was excellent
 The feature that pleased Yale men most was the fine spirit displayed by Tad Jones' eleven. After being out played in the first half the boys came back with plenty of dash in the last session and proceeded to convince spectators that gameness is still a prized possession at Yale.
 Harvard and Princeton had easy matches so no true line on their pro- sress could be obtained Penn did only fairly we'll in beating Lafayette 19 to 0. The inter-sectional clash be- tween the Army and Notre Dame proved that the balance of power is stlll'ln the east for the military young sters won a thrilling victory.
 The Eastern league magnates met today in Springfield to consider their clrcuiH for next season. The problem Of the Lawrence club is the principal topic of discussion. Former Owner Sullivan owes the league considerable money and if he doesn't pay up today the league is expected to declare the franchise forfeiteS If

YALE BLAMES POOR CONDITION
 FOR WEAK LINE

New Haven, Nov. 6-The poor physical condition of the Yale rush line, which is assigned as the reason for Yale's/ failure to stop the Colgate attack in the first half of Saturdays $ game, will be remedied by light work during the week at hand for all the players who are out of form, and it is thought that no member of the eleven will fail to respond to the rest. Brown University will face a better condi- ltioned eleven, and it is not believed at Yale that Brown will prove as diff lfcult to subdue as was Colgate.
 Two positions areb othering the Yale coaches namely, centre and fuli back Rex Hutchinson was used ln both Saturday and is the choice Of the coaches to fill one or the other in the remaining games of the season. II he is assigned to centre, the coaches wills again try out Jim Braden and Frank Lynch, and possibly Harold Carey for full back. If Hutchinson returns to full back the coaches will again test Jack Vorys and Jack Calla- han in the snapback role.
 Although Emil Jacques, who ap- peared the probable selection for full back till his knee was wrenched last week, is still in the jnfirmary, he will probably be in condition to begin the Princeton game if needed. Galt, who was badly out of form Saturday be- cause of an attack of indigestion, ana the left half back, Bob Bingham who has been at his home near Lawrence, Mass. for ten days, returned to the lineup today. and the coaches expect ] both to start the Brown game Satur- iay in tiptip condition.

PUBLIC WON'T BE
 SOLD SEATS FOR YALE VS. HARVARD

New Haven. Nov. 6-Upwards of 100000 applications for seats at the Yale Harvard game to be played in the Yale Bowl, November 25, have been received to date at the olive of Superintendent 'Bedell of the Yale ticket department, it was announced yesterday when the university appli- cations which closed at 6 p. m., Sat- urday had been counted. These fig ures include the large number of ap- plications for the general public and 76,000 applications which were turn ed in by members of the university and Harvard.
 The university applications alone are 1000 greater in number than the seats at the Bowl which shows that some of the applications will have to be cut as it stands Harvard has sent a requisition for 24,O00 seats for the game.
 There will be no public sale of seats. With all the members of the university so anxious to secure seats for the game, and having just claim on them, the Yale management is forced to announce that the public applications from the general public are being sent back with the money.
 It has not yet been decided just where the cut will come in the Yale final allotment of the seats. In gen eral the management has followed, the policy of cutting down the number of seats for ex-gnembers of the uni- versity and if that is not sufficient of cutting down the number of tickets for members of the freshman class the latter on the theory that since they will have other chances to see the big games they should suffer the first undergraduate cut. It will be some time before any one will actual ly know just how many tickets he will get for the big event.

HARVARD BEGINS HARD PRACTICE
 FOR PRINCETON

Boston, Nov 6-Beginning today Harvard football men will get back to the business of getting into trim for their game with the Princeton Tigers on Saturday.
 The Virginia game, while it tired the players, brought no severe injur- ies. Snow, while he was hurt again, is not expected to be out long, and Harte was taken from the game merely as matter of precaution.
 The first string forwards who play ed the first half came out of the frolic without any scars. Shows absence at this time will not make a great deal of difference. Clark was back in the line Saturday, playing in Dadmun's place at left guard. Dadmun will get back to work this week after rest ing since the Cornell game, but whether he will go to his old place at left guard or will shift to the other side remains to be seen.
 Harvard's speed in the open game on Saturday showed how thoroughly the team has been drilled. The line plays also went well, but the general tendency was to send the plays off tackle, although occasionally there was a straight lift to the line that carried the ball back in a pocket and straight through the Virginia defense.
 Thacher showed that he is ready for the weeks work. and Casey also will get into his stride again. Who will be the third back against Prince ton is not known. Minot kicked fairly we'll and did some good running with the ball. Bond showed a lot of power and Willcox's broken field work was brilliant This week the team will get some good solid work on defense, for it has been a month since the team has met any opponent with an attack worth mentioning.

They may make compromise with Duffy, however. as 1t is reported Hugh is considering on offer to man age the Worcester club.
 The Tufts college eleven, which gained fame by beating Harvard, has been offered inducements to take. 'a trip to the coast and play the leading California teams after the eastern sea- son closes. The University of Pitts burgh team also wants to play Tufts Dec. 2, either in Boston or Pittsburg.
 A number of rOoters from this city will go to New York toomrrow to see the Fordham-Georgetow football game Georgetown is favored in the betting at 10 to mainly because the southerners recently beat Dartmouth.

] HOW KID GLOVES
 , ARE MADE.
. . D q q q . . q q q q

The kid glove is simple bdt very important article of dress. Of the millions of persons who wear gloves few ever give the subject of their manufacture a passing thought The finest skins general ly come from middle and southeast ern France.
 Fine seasons improve the quality of the skins greatly, as the animals are kept in the open air. In wet weather it is necessary to keep tn" kids housed; the confinement, if lengthy, causes heating and pro duces fever spots on the skins. The animals on the Tyrol mountains furnish good leather for mems wear South American kids being more or less wild, their coats be come scratched and torn by contact with bushes, briars, etc, and are not desirable.
 The pelt, as taken from the ami nal, is dried; then, through series of baths, the hair and grease are removed, and the skin cleaned thor oughly A most difficult stage of the business Is tanning and dyeing the leather, so much skill being requisite to obtain the desired shades and colors This is accomplished with the best success in France, as the French possess the art of lea ther dyeing to degree not yet at tained by other nations
 In order afterward to make the skins soft, full and flexible. it is fed with-actually absorbing quite a quantity of--a preparation of wheat flour and egg yolks. Subsequently, the parts around the neck and shoulders. where the skin Is thick est, arc shaved with a sharp knife to render them uniform in thick.
