You'll find yourself holding your breath waiting for Yale to launch an attacking play. Coach Odell has scrapped the huddle and gone back to the old fashioned method of having the quarterback bark signals. Bill Newell, who covered the Yale-Lehigh game, reports that the Eli play caller rattles off more numbers than there are in the treasury balance. Just when everybody in the Bowl is sure the starting number is about to be called, the quarterback snaps off a few more. This method takes up the maximum time allowed to put the ball in play, but by the time the Yale center snaps the ball, the opposing line is in a state of dither.

This Penn the scouting reports say, is almost as good as the Quaker eleven that featured the terrific running of Francis X. Reagan, now in the Marine Corps. I saw the Penn game last year and before it started a lot of us wondered how much Penn would feel the loss of Reagan, a great performer. THE MAX THEY MISS IS GENE DAVIS. Well, they had so much all-around backfield strength that Reagan didn't seem to be missed at all.

The man they miss most this year is Gene Davis, blocking back and play caller. A great blocker and a smart man on tactics, Davis gave the Penn attack a smooth cohesion that was lacking when Penn beat Harvard last week. This, rather than inability of the coaches to harness the Penn power, may be what has been making Penn offense a bit ragged. "Time was when a Yale-Penn game meant one thing a victory for the El is. From 1879 to 1803 the teams played 12 games and Yale won them all.

From 1803 to 1925 they did not meet. A lot of us remember that strong Qualcfr eleven that beat the Bulldog, 16 to 13, in the 1925 contest. Remember Stan Sieracki, the powerhouse Penn tackle from Mcriden, who played on that 1925 eleven? Yale won the next three games after 1925, but in 1938 the Elis went to Franklin Field and took a 21 to 0 drubbing. The next year, at New Haven, Penn won 6 to 0, and in 1940 at Philadelphia came the most crushing defeat a Yale football team ever suffered. The score was 50 to 7.

Last year the Quakers made it four in a row with a 28 to 13 margin. It isn't likely that Yale will turn the tide this afternoon. No one has a right to expect that this young Eli eleven can do any such thing. But the game nevertheless appears to be one of the more interesting dishes on the day's football menu. If you like to study tactics, keep close tabs on how the teams defend against forward passes.

Both employ the same system, Odell having brought it to Yale from Penn, where he was the backfield tutor. Basically, the idea is to play the-ball lather than the man. Frank Reagan tried to explain it to me at a Penn Alumni smoked last fall, but it didn't quite jell in my mind and I'm not sure it did in Reagan's. Frank wound up by saying it was screwy but effective. See if you can make anything of it this afternoon.

'MVKattfVAN MAY HAVE A DEFENSE. The Bowl is not the only place where interesting possibilities are on the fire. Wesleyan and Connecticut at Storrs figures to be a game worth seeing. Wes Fesler has a young squad. Jim Carrier, a football team all by himself, and most of the oilier 19-11 varsity performers are gone, but Fesler has a squad that will ehow something as soon as it gains a little experience.

Last week Weslryan slumped Itself repeatedly by fumbling. They should do better against Connecticut, having had another week to familiarize themselves with the intricate assignments that Wesleyan backs have in operating from the variations of the formation employed by Frsler. Fesler, Norm Daniels and Johnny Wood have -been concentrating on defense this week, and you can "bet that they have a tricky alignment or two rigged up to give Connecticut trouble. Fesler learned about defense from Dick Harlow, a wizard at arranging his players so as to embarrass the best-laid attacking plans of the opposition. It will take an extraordinary defense, however, to check the Connecticut attack.

With two ideal games tinder their belts, the Huskies will be tough. They were beaten decisively by Maryland, a team pretty close to the "big and then bounced back to give Massachusetts State a convincing drubbing. In experience, poise and manpower Connecticut has a comfortable edge. Joe Porko, John Toffolon and Ray Srussell have all been through the varsity mill and they are operating behind a capable line. Yet this writer will never again dismiss a Weslevan team of 'I XeH lax? COTTY DAVISON.

Passing continued to he the most Important phase of Springfield College's football practice sev5 sion today as the Maroons prepared lo meet Northeastern in Saturday's homecoming game. Coach Mansfield's forces are expecting a passing offense from the Huskies, and in addition to spending a long session on pass defense today, they likewise spent much time in ironing out their own pass offense difficulties. For Springfield, it will be senior fullback Dave Dockham, Somerville, and Frank Robinson.

West Haven, yearling quarterback, who will bear the brunt of the pass offense. These two men were the main reasons why Springfield was successful in completing 15 out, of 22 passed against Amherst last Saturday. Norwich Eleven Seeks Third Win In Game Today Northfield, Vt Oct. 9. (Special.) Norwich University's Hustling Horsemen, victorious in two games to date, will seek their third win tomorrow afternoon when they engage Worcester Teach on Sabine Field here.

The kick-off will come at 2 o'clock. The Cadets not alone are out to beat the Engineers; they want to win by a score as good or better than the 40 to 0 count by which Cost Guard trimmed Worcester last week. The reason is that they ill be meeting the Seamen a week from tomorrow at New Iiondon in a game that may make one or the other opponent tops among New England's small college football teams. Like Norwich, Coa.st Guard Is undefeated to date. Coach Stan Keck plans to field his best eleven players for the opening kick-off against Worrester, hut he Is hopeful the game later on will permit him to test a half doen or more promising youngsters who were not quite good enough to risk using against Springfield and Colbv, the strong teams with whom the Ca-dets started their schedule.

In this cateory are such back-fielders as Glen MacDonald and George Clark, sophomores; Joe Cla-vin and Bob Phillips, freshmen; and Babe Sawyer and Marty Harwood, Juniors. Another was Joe O'Connor, a freshman fullback, but he was forced out of football this week bv an operation for appendicitis. Keck says he expects MacDonald and Clavin in particular to rome through with some good ball play-Inir against Worrester, Before these boys get a chance to show their stuff, such regular bucks at Captain Walt, Domlnn, Milt Ravine.

(Special.) Wes Fesler invades the University of Connecticut with a Weslevan foot ball team for the first time Saturday when the Cardinals from Mld-riletown oppose Coach J. O. Christian's Conns at 2 p. m. on Gardner Dow Field.

The Huskies, who bounced bark last week with a rousing 26-0 victory over Mass State over bowing 34-0 to Maryland in the opening game, will be favored over Weslryan, which has dropped both starts to date, to Coast Guard, 14-6, and to Bowdoin, 18-0. Wesleyan won last year at Middle- town, 7 to 0. A Coach Christian's squad is In good shape for the battle and is expected to prove too powerful for the visitors. Sticking with the same lineup that started both the Maryland and Mass State tilts, Coach Christian will use Walt Dropo and Trojanow-ski at the ends, Maikkula and An-tonez, tackles, Molloy and either Pinsky or Olmstead, guards, Milt Dropo, center, and Scussell, Toffolon, Perko and Jorgensrn in the backfield.

Bob Perina Leads Tiger Drive Today Princeton, Upset by Williams Last Week, Tackles Navy in Yankee Stadium New York, Oct. 9.

(AP.) The transplanted Princeton-Navy football game, 30th clash between the rivals, is expected to draw 35,000 to Yankee Stadium tomorrow to watch a former Tiger star do his best against Old Nassau. The game was moved from Palmer Stadium in bucolic Princeton because of the rubber and gasoline rationing. Navy, once beaten so far, will be seeking its third straight victory over Princeton, which already lias been stopped by a surprise Williams team. Since the series started back in 1892 Princeton has won 15 to Navv's eight games while six ended in ties. Ben Martin, former Tiger back who transferred to Navy this spring, is slated to spearhead the Middies' attack.

Navy Coach John Welehel calls him the "best back on the squad." Another Martin. Jack, (no relationl, who also transferred to Annapolis, may not start because of a shoulder injury.

Another chapter is beginning in the story-book career of young Johnny Beazley, the 23-years-old Nashville boy who climbed almost overnight from obscurity as a mediocre bush-leaguer to World Series stardom.

It's all like a dream "but a darned nice one" to Johnny who suddenly found himself famous this week after pitching the St. Louis Cardinals to two dramatic victories over the Yankees. Feted, back-slapped, mobbed by autograph seekers, the Nashville youngster, just another guy named Johnny a few months ago, will become a state employee November 1, teaching health and physical education to Tennessee's school children. Denied RepnrU, His appointment as field representative in the State Department of Education was announced today by Governor Prentice Cooper.

"I think the Marines are a fine outfit, but I haven't decided yet on any branch of the service."

"I can't realize all these nice things are happening to me," declared Johnny. "I guess I'll wake up after a while." After the series Johnny came home to Nashville.

The shy young athlete gulped a he faced the cheering crowds. "I'd a lot, rather pitch than fare a mob like that," he whispered nervously.
