n YEW YORK, November 1.-THE
nj foot ball schedule makers, ap-
" parently always ready to
oblige. seem to have set aside
the coming Saturday to give the grid
iron granddaddies chance to sit
back and remember their days in the
spotlight, the days of the flying
wedge and walrus mustache.
RELOCATING to the background such
bright intersectional tussles as the
meeting of Mrnesota's power and
Texas passes. unbeaten Marquette
and Mississippi, Texas Aggies and
Utah, among others, the card for this
week end features the renewal of ira
ditional rivalries dating back to the
era when beef and Drawn held a cor
ner on the gridiron market.
The granddaddy of them all for the
day, of course, is the sixtieth meeting
Of the Yales and the Princetons, a
warfare that began less than a decade
after the Civil War, and which has
seen SO battles fought in its name,
with Yale leading. 81 to 18, and 10

srecial Dispatch to The Star.

Y EXTINCTION, Va, November II.
". NJ. rs Flying Squadron,
with four wins out of five
- starts against Southern Con-
ference opponents, expects its hardest
tests of the season against Maryland's
Terps at College Park Saturday.
Last year Coach Frank Dobson's
eleven nosed out V. NJ. I. by single
touchdown to spoil Homecoming
party, but the Cadets fancy them
selves in the wrecking role when they
meet the Terps for the fifteenth time
in a 30-year-old rivalry.
Doc Saunders, 165-pound sopho-
more halfback from Roanoke, will be
closely watched by the Terps, while
the Cadets will attempt to bottle up
the great Bill Guckeyson. Saunders
has scored six Of the eight touch
downs registered by the Cadets in
their last three winning games. Saun-
ders, a basket ball star and prom
ising ball player, has grabbed four
perfect passes from Andy Trzeciak,
another soph, in his scoring spree.
Other Sophomores Star.
TWO other sophomores-Bud Ko-
var and Joe Ross-will join the
veteran Billy Robertson. Wayt Clark
and Jim Beard in an effort to match
the speed and power of Maryland's
ball toters. In the william and Mary
game last week Ross, substituting at
fullback, shone as line smasher,
backed up the Cadet line like vet
eran and lateraled to. Saunders for
v. M. rs final score.
Other newcomers to the Cadet line
up also performed well against the
Indians. Billy Holland, 185-pounder,
showed promise as a reserve tackle
after having been switched from end.
Halsey Hill and Carter Cole, two pint
sized guards, battled valiantly as un-
derstudies for Capt. Jim Farley and
AL Fielder. who were on the bench
with injuries.
Thirteen of 20 players used by
Coach Bill Raftery against William
and Mary were sophomores. Prob
ably as many as six will start against
the Terps.

But getting fed up with skimpy gate
receipts for a city the size Of Boston
and moving to virgin territory in
Washington is not quite so easy as all
that. although. as Marshall mentioned,
there are no dormitories to move. He
threw up restraining hand. There is
little matter of mulling over the
question of whether Washington Will
support big-league foot ball.
So Mr.. Marshall is looking be-
fore he leaps and refusing to say
definitely whether the Redskins
will represent the Capital next
year. Il want them to play
here" he said. but first want
to be sure If Washington wants
them"
There are, indeed, many angles tc

Never in five years has Boston aver
aged $4,000 season for half dozen
home games. Can Washington, with
far fewer people, do it?
State Societies Would Help.
IN PARTIAL answer Marshall struck
an interesting point. Reaching fol
a wad of figures. he pointed to the gate
receipts at Green Bay, Wis, home OF
the Packers. Green Bay has a popu.
lation of little over 10000" he said
land the Packers have been drawing
$4,000 and S25.000 gates. They're pre-
foot ball conscious out there.
''In Boston they don't seem to ap-
precite it. I've always had good
teams and this years outfit is half g
game back of the lead. Yet we're in
the red and the Philadelphia Eagles
who've won l game in 10, are $4,000

that?"
1t didn't sound very just.
What of Washington's far
famed reputation for lack Of
