 In the two leading clashes of the east, the Pennsylvania Illinois meet ing at Philadelphia and the Yale Army battle at New Haven, injury plays an exceptionally large part. The undefcatod Quakers, facing the second invasion from the west in two weeks and one which brings the powerful Red Grange to the east for the first time, must play without Kruez and Fields, two backs who had q large share in downing Brown and Yale. Long, weighing 16S pounds, will substitute for Krucz.
 Yale faces the Army with Cutler and Kline, two of its luminarics of the backheld, forced to the sidelines, while Buttcrworth, tackle, also is out of the running.
 Brown, too, coming up to its an- nual game with the big green Dart mouth, is shattered in the forward wall although Smith, a burly tackle, is expected 10 resume activity. Hodge, who played center against Yale. and Magee, tackle. probably are out for the remainder of the season.
 The Navy sails into a snow blank cted west with the strongest eleven it can produce to meet Miihigan at Ann Arbor on what promises to be a field of snow. The middies will work on the Michigan field tomor- row and at the same time the Army will be maneuvering iu the bowl at New Haven. and Illinois will be busy at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, 9n preparation for the next days tus- SlcS.
