 New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 24- (UP)-This rispatch may never reach you for 1 must send it to the telegraph office by a messenger boy, and the messenger boy must ride a New Haven street car, and riding a New HaHven street car on Yale- Harvard day is combina- tion of going over the top, eating n bowl of spaghetti in the midst of a red riot, and trying to match 4 bit of ribbon in Macy's basement late Christmas Eve.
 x If the messenger boy manages to get only himself back he will have shot par for the course. Riding a street car here on Yale Harvard Day present three major problems CD getting on CD hanging on (3) getting off.
 j Getting on offers the greatest difficulty. By the time the cars pass the railroad station, the chier point of authorization, they are so damned you'd swear another per son couldn't get on even it he had a letter from his pastor anu a search warrant from his sheriff. Yet-and this is most amazing- people do get on, and continue to
  mile trip to the bowl. By the time it arrives there it is street car no longer, and has become jellied mass of citizens equipped with air brakes, cane seats headlights at both ends, and a conductor who has quit thinking ubout nlckles and Is worrying about his life ln- eurance.
 Once aboard, hanging on is a problem for the cars are of the old-fashioned open-air variety wit hno sides. The greatest dang CT is a passenger with cough, for statistics, dating back to 1873. show that for every cough pas eenger has been shaken loose and lost. It is an unwritten law that messengers when a cough becomes Imperative, must yell "tippecanoe and Tyler, tool" as warning.
 As tough as the ride is on the messengers, it's tougher on the conductor. It's not generally known, but Edgar Rice Burroughs gained his inspiration for Tarzan from watching the conductor on one of these Yale-Harvard cars make his collection. His little ,ulufform that runs around the car 5r smothered with customers, but .the conductor must make it the hcst way he can. Like a monkey lf, tree, he swings from overcoat beIf to overcoat belt; from Fur neckpiece to fur ieckpiece. There nro times when you would bet your last penny he was going to lnjl, but, chirping his cry Of "fares ulcase: fares please" he always nannnges to hang on.
