big boost last week when Robert r.

Thomas L. Lloyd were voted into the

summer, and also ran fine race in the

only defeated by few fest by Wenderoth,
the George Washington star. Lloyd was

rolled up during the past week. The
Hammer team has Increased It's hold
on first place. and to all appearances
looks as II 1t will maintain this posi-

YALE'S FOOT BALL
RECEIPTS $4,000

NEW HAVEN. November 25.-The Yale
foot ball officials have been footing I'D
their receipts for the season, and they fig
ure that they will be about $4,000, the
largest in Yale's history. Yale and Har-
ward will each take $4,000 from Satur-
days game, and Yale and Princeton will
each receive $4,000 from the game a
week ago. Yale made about 1000 from
the Brown game, 5000 from the Wash
ington and Jefferson game and total Of
about Sd. 900 from the minor games.
A majority Of the eleven came home last
night from Boston. Everybody was as

Harvard and Princeton. There were no in
juries in the Harvard game.

been started. because OF his fine work in
both OF the big games and because he Is

Coy's boom was first in the field, however,
and. as he scored all four downs made in
the Harvard and Princeton games his
chances are better than Brides. The cleo
ton will be held in about two weeks.
Chief Roper of the Princeton coaches,
whom Yale has been seeking for three
days to discuss her failure to arrive on
time in the Yale-Princeton game, turned
urday's game and congratulated Yale on
winning the American championship. He
was presented with Yale's regrets for her
failure to turn up promptly against
Princeton, but as Harvard was late IN re-
porting for the first half with Yale Satur-
day. the Yale-Princeton incident has lost
most of its point.
Roper and all Of the Princeton team, who
saw Saturdays game, occupied seats on
the Harvard side lines as guests of the
Harvard team. At Yale this is taken to
mean that Princeton-Harvard game is
likely. No fear is felt at Yale that Prince
ton is planning to give up any athletic
contest with the Ellis.
