 Hadley, Mass, November 19. - (UP) - There is an atmosphere at . football game different from any other sport.
 The beau...' of the autumn land- scape, the smell of the smooth grid iron with its fragrant grass, the shouts of youngsters as trey climb to the highest bleacher seats, where they sit on top pof the world, the excited greetings of old grads, the chatter of women, and cries of Ven- dors, and the staccato barking or quarterbacks as they call signals, while a wild shiver of excitement runs through the crowd.
 The games I attend personally are ct Amherst College, which Is my first love and where I am an honor man; Massachusetts State College and Springfield College. I usually go with Jim Reed, the principal Of Hopkins Academy, or the agricul- tural instructor, Paul Brown.
 I prefer to sit on the 5O-yard line. Then, after the kickoff, l can tell by sound, within two or three yards of how far the ball is run back. I can always distinguish end runs from line plays by sound. l have made e thorough study of the strategy of football, and often en- certain the people in my party by calling the plays in advance Of the quarterback, getting 75 per cent right.
 The widest afternoon have had this season was when saw Am- herst trounce Norwich University while I listened to the fourth of the World Series baseball games and the nerve-wracking last half of. the Army Columbia game where the Iced changed six times. This was accomplished through the radio m my car.
 In addition to attending local games, I listen to most of the big games over the radio. have heard all the games at the Yale Bowl. l consider Dartmouth the strongest team that has appeared there, and passibly better than Yale. l have hear dall the games broadcast from Notre Dme.
 I have always been thumbs down on colleges using ringers. A boy goes to college for Q sheepskin and not a pigskin.
 When I heard Pitt run roughshod over Notre Dame recently, l said that Pitt should go to the Rose Bowl, and when the Long Horns (Texas) trim med Baylor, and the Huskies (Wash- inRton) held the Golden Bears to a tie both of which games ls- tened in on, my idea that Pitt was the best team in the country was strengthened.
 My selection for an all-Eastern team, based on performances heard over the radio and newspaper &C., counts of games Is a5 follows:
 Backs Frank of Yale, Macleod of Dartmouth, Osmanski of Holy Gross and Goldberg of Pittsburgh
 Ends - Souchak of Pittsburgh and Holland of Cornell.
 Tackles -- Kevorkian Of Harvard and Mellu sof Villanova.
 Guards - Petro of Pittsburgh and Hooper of Cornell.
 Center - Wojciechowicz of Ford ham.
 For me Amherst's winning of the little three championship was the greatest victory of all.

When we celebrate the first day
of the new year, we are following
custom that dates back to the
very dawn of civilization; for near
ly all peoples have observed new
years celebration, though the time
has varied widely-sometimes as
early as the autumnal equinox
(about September 2D and some
times as late as Midsummer's Day
Dune 22).
If we could travel around the
world on a magic carpet and peep
at the new year celebrations in the
various countries, what wonderful
variety of customs we would find.
Scotland celebrates New Years
Eve with a heartiness nowhere sur
passed. The old-time tradition that
to be "first-foot" in house brings
luck for the whole year sends
throngs of midnight jewellers into
the streets of Scotch cities on New
Years Eve, each with his box of
cakes and his spiced ale, for in
order to insure his host bourte-
Gus year he must not enter empty
handed
In some European nations also
especially France, New Years Day
is a more important holiday than
Christmas. If you were a French
peasant child you might put your
"sabot" wooden shoe) on the
hearth for a gift at Christmas, but
grown-ups in France exchange gifts
at the New Year festival, at which
time there are family parties, with
much me,rymaking and general
exchange OF visits.
In America the observance Of
New Years Day is as varied as the
character of the people that make
I'D the New World. Each city and
rural district has it's New Years
Eve watch night" service in the
churches, its dancing and theater
