'EASTS FIRST BIG
 CLASSIC ON TODAY
Harvard and Princeton Being
 Watched Closely
By The Associated Prom.

py Inv AeoNNiphSs
 Cambridge. Mass, Nov. s.-The first of the East's outstanding grid iron classics takes place this after noon when Harvard grapples with Princeton in the opening test Of Big Three" supremacy.
 A crowd of 53,0oo. forming one Of the most colorful spectacles Of the season, Is expected to witness the fray, which the Crimson will enter a decided favoritc. Neither eleven, however, has proved of outstanding caIiber to date and while Harvard with better material, has shown greater steadiness, the Tigers have rallied after numerous disappoint- ments and whipped themselves to characteristic fighting pitch for their biggest test so far.
 Harvard, with a strong advantage in kicking, also has shown the more formidable attack, but Princeton counts upon her veteran line to check the Crimson's drive. Both teams have undergone important shifts since their last important battles, Harvard making several line changes while the Tigers will experiment with their lightweight backfield.
 Harvard, though 1t has been drilled to versatility on attack, IS expected to rely more upon old- fashioned gaining methods than Princeton, which has shown little driving power In previous games and probably will depend upon the aerial route for scoring efforts With many bright object lessons ir the past, the Tigers also have been coached to take full advantage ol the "breaks," but Princeton mus profit from her own early season mistakes if this angle of play ls not to be a boomerang.
 End play Is likely to be a con spIcuous factor, with the Tigers relying on their veteran stars Captain Buzz" Stout and Drew for wingwork, while Harvard trie' an experiment in Gamache. playing his first big game at end.
 Both squads are in excellent con dition as a whole although two 0 the Crimson's best backfeld reserves Cheek and Zarakov. have been han dicapped by leg ailments.

Everything is in readiness for the grid battle between the All-New Britain and Waterbury somi-pro teams at Memorial field. Referee Jacques is scheduled to blast his whistle at o:3O o'clock that will send the teams into action. Not in sev- eral seasons has there been a game that has attracted so much attention as the one scheduled for tomorrow. The performances of both elevens this season has stamped them ns worthy contenders for the 1924 foot bail tiara.
 That the game will be hard fought there appears 10 he little doubt. Both elevens are now at the peak of form. The rivals of tomorrow have a good line on each other, having battled to a scoreless tie at Water bury on October 26. It is evident that Manager George AIulIigan of the Waterbury team has not wholly satisfied with the showing of his team on that occasion. for he las iBifu up LII " lNA lIlti E9tt@4 ~ q ! L4CIJ Cross who will play with the team tomorrow.
 They are Gildaa, Case and Garon, and all are said to be the goods. This gives the Brass City team five former Holy Cross players, Ken" Simondinger and 'Hop" Riopol have starred in the backncld at the Wor- ccs'or college for two seasons.
 On all sides there is a confident air in this city that the All New Bri'ains will win Sundays battle, thus eliminating another rival from the path for the 1924 title. Should Captain Connelly's pets come through with a win, there will bc one more obstacle in the way of claiming the honor--the Fridge port eleven, which plays here Sun day, November 16. at Memorial field The management of both clubs have agreed on the following off cials; Referee, Jacques, Yale; um- pire, Harry Ginshcre. Fordham; James O'Keefe, Waterbury, head linosman. Manager Edward J Daley reports that despite rumors to the contrary, there will be no in crease in the admission from tht past games,

During recent storm the front sup
porting pillars of the house gave way
so that the small structure tilted over
at an angle of about % degrees at one
corner. A negro was sent TO remove
the furniture and came back ashy with
fright, saying the place was haunted.

found that he, too, had been in the
house only q few minutes before he

receiving electrical shocks in addition
to the seasickness. One enterprising
man leased the shack and began to
charge admission, and was making
money until the police arrested him
for doing business without q license.
Finally q party of newspaper men
visited the house and stayed for the
night. Their opinion was that the sea-
sickness felt by all who entered the
house was not caused by ghosts, but
by the angle at which the house is
