largest ever brought together here. as the
total seating capacity of the stands is
about 1900 and several hundred other per-

winning by such score as IS to 0, and the
timId ones would only concede field
goal by Harlan for the Tigers. Betting
was rot heavy nor much in evidence, in
spite of Yale offers OF 2 to l on sman
bets and 10 to Z on large sums.
