Ellis Tackle Bates, Penn State
and w. ,and J. Also on
the Program.
ny DANIEL.

With Yale in the vanguard. starting
probably the last ten game schedule an
Eli eleven ever will play, tho football
season will be opened this afternoon.
While the Blue is scoring touchdowns
against Bates from the Businesses OF
Maine. Harvard and Princeton, as we'll
as Pennsylvania. Cornell, Columbia, the
Army and Navy will be holding scrim-
images preliminary to their inaugurals
next week.
Rating them on the results of last
season. Yale Is not the only important
team which will go into action this
afternoon. Penn State, which We
thought tho best eleven OF 1921. will
face st. Bonaventure, an upstate sec
tartan college Hugo Bezdek's pupils
did not play ST. Bonaventure last sea-
son. but opened against Lebanon Val
ley for 53 points. 1t is not likely that
this total will be approached to-day, for
Bezdek has been forced to rebuild his
eleven and will have to do a lot more
experimenting than he did In his early
contests last year.
Yale opened against Bates last Sep
tember, too, and got 2S points, with
fine exhibition OF football. While NAL
colin Aldrich has gone, the Ellis arc
likely to be even stronger this time than
they were last. and the outlook for
Bates is not what might be regarded as
hopeful. However there will be no
gigantic score. Tad Jones will use as
many men as he can. and Jones ap-
preciates fully the futiity, If not the
danger. Of getting away with a big
score.
Presidents Open Too.
Another important team Of 1921
switch will open to-day is Washington
and jefferson. which hid its light under
bushel last fall, but showed its class
when II held the much heralded Califor-
MIA eleven to a scoreless tie at Pasadena
OH New Years Day. The Presidents
will open against Geneva. which was not
met last fall. In 1921 Geneva was the
trial horse for Pittsburgh on the first
afternoon of the campaign and the
Panthers had a fairly interesting time
getting 2S points. 1t was Bethany
which helped Washington and Jefferson
open in 1921. and that game. with its IA
to score, was just a little too much
for the winners as a starter.
Holy Cross, which is to play Harvard
again on October Z. will go into the
stadium with little more football un-
DER llS Delt InaIl IL ndu III 1871 anu tDc
year before 1t will be recollected that
on both these occasions field goals by
Buell. beat the Worcester eleven last
year by only to 0. Holy Cross will
get a good workout to-day against the
men from the submarine base at New
London.
Syracuse which was not blessed with
any too much success on the football
field last fall, will meet Hobart to-day.
The Orange played the same eleven in
the first game last year and Syracuse
romped in by % to 0. Chick Meehan has
changed things quite a bit up at Syra-
cuse this time. and the outlook is re-
ported to be fairly promising. After
what came In the wake of the un--
bounded optimism last season the boys
at Syracuse are putting on the soft
pedal
OIiphnnt Coaching Union.
Union. coached by Elmer Oliphant,
the Army star. will open against Clark
son Tech. while st. Lawrence will en-
tertain st. Stephens. which will come
down here next Saturday to play {. g.
n. y. in the first varsity football game
engaged in by the Lavender since 1907.
Springfield will tackle Colby. which
held the Y. NJ. c. A. collegians TO 10
to last fall.
In the West none of the leading teams
will play to-day. The feature In the
south will see Center open against
Carson-Newman. which did not meet
the Colonels in 1921. Georgia is to meet
