after the first of April as possible.
The official time card and
schedule of the passenger service
over the M. & l. railway makes
some change in the day service, in
that the day train from Brainerd
to international Falls will not run
further north of Brainerd than
Funkley, while the night trains
will be run from International
Falls to Brainerd, connecting at
the latter place with through N. P.
trains for the twin cities, and
going north making the same con-
! nections.
The time of arrival of the north
bound day passenger train will
remain as at present, arriving from
Bralnerd at $50 in the evening
and leaving Bemidji at 8, arriving
at Funkley at U.s., The accomo-
dation train now being operated
between Funkley and Kelliher will

ing Funkley Immediately after the

10 TRAINLOADS TO
 FOOTBALL GAME

Seldom in the history of the New Haven Railroad has the passenger ser vice from New York to Boston been SO severely taxed as was the case yester- day from 10 o'clock In the morning un- ii; the midnight express was run out of the Grand Central Station in four sections. Between the hours men, toned eight regular express trains went out. but owing to the exceptional interest in the Yale-Harvard football game today in Cambridge. every train had two or more sections. the total. therefore. aggregating nineteen train lcads instead of the usual eight.
 The train dispatcher said it was the higgest football crowd the road has ever been called upon to handle for. a game in Boston. It was impossible to get a parlor seat or a sleeping car berth for love or money. and the reg ular passenger coaches were all crowd ed, the bclated arrivals -heing- glad of the opportunity of obtaining SD much as a seat to get to Cambridge and root for their respective teams.
 The crowd was an orderly one. but the rival college cheers reverberated

through the station, and there was a gorgeous display of crimson and blue.
 The only special train that the New Haven road ran to the game was the Harvard Club special. leaving New York this morning at 7:10 o'clock.
 The excess travel due to the football game. it was estimated, was close to 5000 persons. With the exception of the Harvard Clubs special. it will be impossible for any one in New York this morning to reach Boston in time for the game. as the 10 o'clock express. the first one to leave. will not arrive in Boston until o'clock.
 Not only were the New Haven trains crowded to their utmost capacity. but evidences of the football enthusiasm were apparent in an unusual degree on all of the outgoing Sound steamers early in the evening. The big Provi- dence left her dock with 2.oO0 passen- gers the great majority bound for the game. and the Joy Line boat carried another large delegation of Yale and Harvard rooters.
 The midnight express tonight from Boston and all of the Sunday-morning trains will be run in sections. to ac- commodate the homecoming throng. A special train for the Yale undergrad uates left New Haven early this morn ing for the scene of the intercollegiate battle.

High School Player Meets Death in Same Way as Byrne of West
