THE CRIDIRON
Ysls Has Another Star Hurt and There is Gloom Around the
 Campus.


 field yesterday John R. Fitzpatrick, ed that he had to be carried from the field and Yale is without any end who can take forward pass or an onside kick. Fitzpatrick was not to be used in the scrimmage for the coaches were afraid of injuring him, but in the signal practice before the serimmage he was put in at left and while Captain Burch was at right. He jumped in the air to pull down a high forward pass and when he came down he fell on his knee, which was injured several weeks ago. The knee pan dropped down and Fitzpatrick Foster Sanford took him on their shoulders to carriage and he was taken to the Yale intirmary. As a result Logan and Captain Burch will start the game against Harvard. Haines will be first substitute. The students yesterday afternoon march. ed to the field and the procession arr rived just as Fitzpatrick was being carried out. This was not very en- couraging and he cheering was with out life The coaches and the team were also affected by the injury, and ] it was decided not to have scrim- mage lest some of the other men should be hurt. F.,
 l In desperate effort to relieve the 1 situation the Yale ticket department decided last night to issue very small number of aisle tickets for the | Harvard football game. This will allow the holder to sit on the step of a section aisle. This move will relieve only some of the yer! worst cases on the hands of the de- partment. and will still leave thou sands of applicants unable to get into the grounds
 The manager of the ticket depart- ment said last night that the num- Der of seats available to meet the regular undergraduates and sradur | ate Yale demands was approXimaIely | 19,O00., The number of seats called for.by early. Yale applications. those received on or before November ( was 27,000. All late applications were refused and the total money 1 thus far sent back is about $S,G00.
 New Haven city officials this year will not get tickets to the game as heretofore. Manager Thomson ias' night said he regretted that he had to treat the New Haveners in this way, but that the Yale applications had to be taken care of first
 A tremendous impetus has been given to the movement for q new stand, which probably means a new \ field, by the deplorable insufficicncl of the accommodations for the pres ent contest.
 Yale worked the waiting game against Princeton with success bolt this year and last, wearing the othel side down and then striking hard ant effectively when the time came. Har yards plan against Dartmouth wa much the same and with the sam' reserve, strength. Indeed, in her las three games Harvard has displaye' tactics of that sort. The question then arises. will each try it on th' other tomorrow? If so there il likely to be scoreless first half ant with some fierce attacking in the sec ond However, it is a sure thin: that if either team can slip scpr' across in the early part of tho gam, lit will not pass up the opportunity and the moral effect of a score frs in game of this sort is not to b sneezed at.
 Yale teams fight like sin when tn game is going against them, t,@t tha doesn't always mean victory, es peeially when the other side fight like sin too, The Harvard team ha shown good fighting stuff all seasol and reports from Cambridge say tn men know football individually that they are in condition to pla ? hard from the start and that ther ,, is a machine like precision in thei ], formations which make them addi tionally effective. How hard put [ it they must have been to win thei games Is something that is know, only to those on the inside, but wit t'iIreserye to back what they hay shown they are team that may rol Iup a big score if they get going early ffYale's play hasn't been as comprehen sive as Haryard's. but at West Poin and Princeton they were powerful even If belated streaks of sustaine team play, With almost the sam
 eleven men composing the varsit ! team all season, Harvard has jus that much advantage over Yale, wh !, on account of injuries had to mak i, many changes. These things and tn ,, money that is on hand to back Hal yard would seem to make the crimso a logical favorite. s.
