ON THE CAMPUS.

The Coming Yale-Harvard Game
 Betting on the Result-Law School
 Reception Tomorrow Rvening-
 First Shoot of the Yale Gun Club
 Other News of the University.
 As the time approaches for the match between Yale and Harvard the campus be- comes more and more excited and every thing is in the fever of expectancy. Some venturesome Harvard men sent $500 down, which was quickly covered at even. The last practice game is played this afternoon at the field. Large preparations have been made at Springfield and by the railroads. Special trains will run up to Springfield, leaving New Haven at 10 o'clock Lunch will be served on the cars going up' and dinner coming back. A great improve ment has been inaugurated this year which will do away with the rushing for seats, which was such an objectionable feature of last years game; that is, all the seats are numbered and reserved. All the ladies
 hould go up liberally bedecked in blue and keep up the reputation that Yale has for pretty women.
 Yale will sit on the left, while the wear CTS of the crimson face them on the right. At one end the smaller colleges will hold the fort, while the other end will be taken care of by the ''muckers." The smaller colleges distribute their praise about even ly and the 'muckers" yell their apprecia- tion of every good play.
 Judging from the present weather Sat
 urday will be pleasant day overhead, but
 the ground may be little soft.
 If U0n1d ho O IL l are going up to Springfield Friday after
 noon to take in the shooting match be-
 tween the Harvard and Yale gun clubs,
 which will be held on the grounds of the Springfield Gun club. Yale has not been | defeated by Harvard since the annual l matches were begun.
 The indications are that this years club will be the best that Yale has ever had
 and will undoubtedly keep up the good
 record made by her predecessors. Yale law school will hold reception to. | morrow night from until 10 in the library,
 All law students are cordially invited. The freshmen management is having 6 great deal of trouble in making '96 men pay their subscriptions. It is almost time
 that the public sentiment of Yale called g l halt on this sort of thing. Of course the l burden of the college expenses falls upon | the freshman class, but this is not an ex. | perience peculiar to '96. Each man ought
 to contribute what he can afford and noth | ing more. But what he has put his sigma
 ture to he ought to stand by.
 The Yale gun club held the fret shoot
 yesterday in the trial for the prize cup
 Despite the unreasonable weather the
 shoot passed off quickly and some very | good records were made; notably F. w.
 Thompson '95 and R Hoyt '93s. The following is a tabulated score of the match:
