or ATHLETIC INTEREST.

Committee Selected for the Yale Cambridge
Games-EngIishmen at Hard Practice
Nearly All the Football squad in Town
Lined Up Yesterday.
Perhaps no athletic event of the sea-
son is now looked forward to with more
interest than the Yale-Cambridge games
to be held October on Manhattan field,
Additional interest is lent TO them from
the fact of the defeat of the London
Athletic club the other day by the New
Workers, and Englishmen are in hopes
that the Cambridge men may get back
at the Americans by winning from Yale
The English team is now at hard prac-
tice every day at Yale field and those
few members of the team who were
Slightly ailing have entirely recovered
Hon. William c. Whitney has been
appointed chairman of the general COM
mittee having charge of the games and
William Williams secretary. The exec
utive committee consists of WV. Skidd,
Buchanan Winthrop, Arthur NJ Dodge,
Otto T. Barnard, Julian w. Curtiss,
George G. Haven, jr., Charles II. Sher-
rll, j. Sanford Barnes, jr., McLane Van
Ingen, G. X. B. Wade, Sherman Day,
and Lewis p. Sheldon. The applications
for tickets greatly exceed all expecta-
tions. The committee having the games
in charge say that upwards of three
thousand applications have been made
an In 4
attendance is fifteen thousand. The
attendance at the Yale-OXford games in
London last year was upward of ten
| thousand, and as this will be the first
| international intercollegiate meeting on
| this side of the Atlantic the followers
| of Old Ellis sons are anxious to see what
| the boys can do when the climatic con-
ditions are reversed Mr.. Day said Sat
urday that persons desiring seats were
at liberty to enclose their blank appli-
cations for tickets up to three applica-
tons for five seats each. In other words
the committee will allow as many as
fifteen seats to go to one party of per
sons if the application meets with APP
prevail This new rule has been made
in order to supply clubs and others
desiring to have parties sit together,
| thereby preventing confusion. Ticket
SPECTATORS have been after seats, but
up to date their efforts to obtain them
have been unsuccessful. After October
tickets will be placed on public sale,
but not till then. Applications should
be addressed to Sherman Day, Post Of
flee Box 1916, this city.
