Unusual Interest in the Great
Game Between Harvard and
Yale Shown by a Big Attend
ance from This City
EARLY MORNING TRAINS
CARRIED HEAVY LOADS
Confidence in the Crimson's AbiI-
ity to Win Was Lacking and the
Financial Gain to the Men Who
Usually Wager on Sporting
Events Was Small

Worcester played it's part in making
the crowd at yesterdays game on Sol
diers' Field the greatest in the his
tory of annual encounters of Yale and
Harvard. Local interest in the contest
was never so general and the thou
sands who were not eye witnesses Of
| the great battle had pecuniary or other
interest in the result.
| From a SPECTATORS standpoint, the
| complete triumph of the Crimson over
| Yale was a hope crusher. Yale was a
| 10 to favorite in every sporting re-
| sort in the city up to the call Of play
and in many instances better figures
were obtained by the Harvard bettors.
The men who do their betting in the
| open and occasionally allow dollar
| or two to get outside the family, de-
| clared Yale to be the team. and odds
| of 5 to and 10 to were given on the
Blue Few of the habitual bettors back
ed Harvard and but for the fact that
sympathy plays an important part in
the placing OK wagers, much of the
Yale money would have been untouch-
| ed.
| John Trainor a Worcester man, was
| one of the few who had courage
| enough to risk money on Harvard
Johns chance earned him $S5. Michael
| Driscoll gobbled $32., the result of small
bets made at the Sherwood House.
| Worcester men who plunged heavily
on Harvard were exceptions yesterday
| and none have been located yet.
| Every morning train to Boston car
| ried scores Of people who later Wis
| tied Soldiers Field and the big grid
| iron battle. The owl train due to leave
at sol a. m, was IS minutes late be-
cause of the heavy traffic from the
| West and South. Among the local
groups of enthusiasts, the Crimson
| was literally displayed. Here and
there a strip of blue dotted the red
sea, but Yale supporters seemed bur-
: led beneath the enthusiasm for Har-
ward.
There were comparatively few New
Haven students on the eastern bound
| trains yesterday morning, a majority
of the Yale men having passed through
the previous afternoon and evening in
small groups. Streak snow fakes were
defled and everywhere Harvard got
enthusiastic support by the lusty
lunged. The trains returning from Bos-
ton brought gloomy students, ready
and full willing, to hide behind the
blue of Old Eli in silence for another
year.
