Show TWO SCORE FOOTBALL MITlSFni TOBftY Elevens of East and West to Have First Real Games of Season. NEW YORK, Oct, 3. Football ;atnes of a moro strenuous character charac-ter Mian heretofore 'marlc tho opening of October gridiron schedules in various vari-ous parts of tho country. Several of the larger eastern university elevens tomorrow will J'aco opponents which recorded victories at their expense in 19.12. The day also will mark the introduction in-troduction of several eastern and middle mid-dle western teams into tho football arena. In the cast the games to bo played by Pennsylvania and Cornell will bo watched with unusual intcrost, sinco both the Quakers and the Ithaca eleven face colleges which last year scored decisive de-cisive victories ovor thcro. Tho 'University of Pennsylvania has what appears to" be tho hardest contest of the day, for in Lnfayotle tho Red and Blue face practically tho same eleven thai won by a scoro of 7 to 3 ovor tho Quakers last autumn. Lafayette, strengthened by the addition addi-tion of Kelly, the star kicker of 1911, and tho fact that tho team has the benefit o experience and team work for two years, oxpects to givo Pennsylvania Penn-sylvania "another stiffj contest. The Quakers, although without the assistance assist-ance of Captain Young, are a far moro formidable combination than a year ago, and hope to rcvorse tho result of 3912. Cornell Looks Better.

In other ' respects the schedule of eastern games contains little that is out of the ordinary. Harvard mcots Bates in what is littlo more than a practice game, and Yale has the University Uni-versity of Maino on which to try some of Tom Shevlm's new plays. A week ago Harvard defeated Maine, 34 to 0, and n a turn 11- tho Elis' work against tho same team will be used in an endeavor to draw an early season comparison between the two big varsity elovens which meet late in rTovembor. The army and navy elevens will start the season on an ovon footing tomorrow, tomor-row, for the naval academy plaj's tho University of Pittsburg at Annapolis, and tho military academy faces Stevens Ste-vens institute at West Point. Neither game appears to bo particularly threat-1 ening, viewed from the standpoint of tho two academies, although the Pittsburg Pitts-burg combination scored on tiio navy in tho 1912 game. In the West. Football battalions of the central states swing into battle linos tomorrow tomor-row in a series of conflicts which signalize sig-nalize among other things the opening of tho campaign for the conference championship. Chief in interost is tho first clash of two "Big Nine" olovons. Chicago meeting Indiana in a game that carries oxtra importance "because ' of the unusual strength tho Hoosiers showed last Saturday in defeating De Pauw.
