THE BETTING.

The betting is at odds Of 2]a to in favor
of Yale. There is plenty of Harvard
money IN sight, but they will not put it
out. At the Massasoit, which Is now a
mass of humanity, 100 TO 40 is being laid /,
and even money, that Harvard does not
score a touchdown.
The Yale coach have been advising
the Yale men that IL is not safe to give
such fearful odds, but the Yale hackers
are putting it out at 2 and 2h to as
fast as they can get it.
Most of the wagers are to 3 on Yale
ana the same man who put s150 even
yesterday that Yale would not triple
harvard's score today, placed s40O against
$1,000 of Yale money on the result. Har-
ward men were looking for 5 TO odds
with few Yale men to offer it.
