NEW YORK, Nov 16-Hundreds s | of eager young animals trained until they need to be restrained from at tacking the campus patrolman, are ] now poised, so to speak. for the leap at one another's throats in the eli matcic football battles of the eastern season.
 Many of the games of the impend- ing Saturday will be of the sort ! known as traditional, involving ri ! valTies which have reached the ripe old age of five, ten or even twice ten years. A Princeton boy would glad 1 ly sacrifice his right arm, his bell ! bottom pants, and his ticket for the annual prom for a chance to eXuIt over Yale on Saturday night The feeling at Yale is mutual and the same enthusiastic but not at all aeri- monious hostility, directed at other teams, can be discerned in a hundred schools at this time of the year. the beginning of the end of the season when the big games fall due. Penn State plays Penn, a combat of cat-and-dog intensity, and Wash ington and Jefferson meets the Pan thers at Pittsburg. Dartmouth win provide the toughest possible recep- ton for Colby at Hanover, N. H., and the feeling between Harvard and Brown at Cambridge will be hardly less emotional than that in other games, although Brown is not q member of She exclusive little group known by the challenging title of Big Three"
 The game at New Haven will be the vortex of the entire disturbance in this quarter of the country and the police of the stately New Eng land city will be Shrilling on their whistles from sunup till midnight handling the greatest concentration of automobiles that ever converged af-1 about 33000 visiting machines in New Haven for the Yale-Army game and the bowl was filled with S0,000 customers for a game which did not have the tart flavor of tradition; How many cars will try to Wrlggle into the town for the Princeton game can only be conjectured, but a few New York motorists already have abandoned the notion of rolling up in their own, as the highways for miles outside the city are bound to be clogged and the pace slowed down to that of a traffic parade on Broadway when the theatres are let ting out. Then, as on other occa- sions of outdoor informality in the chill time of the year. the American constitution is bound to be sptntered in the region of it's eighteenth amendment, which enhances the risk of accident along the road.
 The present intentions of the Yale coaches, which are as variable as d chameleons complexion, call for two complete Yale teams to be sent on the field for occasional Substitutlons Thus such boys as Russell Murphy of St. Louis, one of the quarterbacks, are to be given the chance they have fought and, in not few eases, ac- tually prayed for, since the day they first turned out for practice.

 It is something to have played with the varsity for game or part of a game against the Army, Buckneli, Brown or any of the other teams en- countered in the pointing" season but to have been in the lineup for just one play, lasting not more than ten seconds against Princeton or Harvard is a glorious thing for a Yale boy which cannot be adequate ly explained or described to those who do not live in the football at mosphere. The same is true as to all football players on all teams when the big game arrives.
 The Haskell Indians, not the roV- ing professionals who sometimes use that name, but the team from the Haskell institute in Kansas, have come to New York to play the U. ;. Marines from Quantico, Va. Here are two teams both new to New York and both dazzle painted with the colors of extraordinary interest. The Marines are trying to establish them selves as a third party to the West Point Annapolis rivalry and nave not been received on terms of equal ity as yet. The Haskell team in- cludes the famous Levi brothers, John, who is something of second Jim Thorpe, and George, scarcely less able than his brother. John kicks, hurls passes. hits the line anu runs n broken field. The entire team is a sort of second cousin to the ia nous old Carlisle Indians on the coaching side of the family, as the Hanley brothers, who coach Haskell learned their football at the uniVer- sity of Washington under Deltz anu Welsh old stars at Carlisle.
