Interest in college foot ball was at high
tide today. when 10000 persons gathered
in the stadium to witness the contest for
eastern university honors between Yale
and Harvard. The crowd was intensely
enthusiastic and well versed in the mys-
terfes Of the game and the relative
strength and ability of the teams and the
players. 1t was warmly clothed and gal
ly decorated. College colors were carried
almost universally, and crimson and blue
ribbons and flags added luster to the
ranks. The players remained we'll away
from the scene until a few hours before
the game began. The Harvard team
reached Cambridge just before noon for
the last lunch at the training table. The
Yale team was somewhat later and had
lunch at its hotel in Auburndale, starting
for the field in automobiles shortly be-
fore / o'clock.

by ZeIaya to Win Recruits

COLON, November 2O.-A wireless dis
patch dated Bluefields. Friday. says that
kilograms from San Juan del Sur and the
boundary of Costa Rica state that Presi-
dent Zelaya is resorting to horrible meas
ures to force the enlistment of troops
and to obtain money to carry on the
war.
Deserters say they were promised per-
mission to loot Rama for two days II
they were successful.
No Relations With Our Consul.
PANAMA. November 2O-Passengers
arriving here from Nicaragua report that
President Zelaya has severed relations
with Senior Don Jose de Olivares. Ameri-
can consul at Managua, and that the lat
ter's home is guarded day and night.
They say that Zelaya, distressing his
own men, has surrounded himself with
foreigners. and that thousand persons
have been imprisoned at the capital
ether because they were suspected OF
disloyalty or had refused to contribute 10
the war tax.
More than thousand persons have
been imprisoned I'm the penitentiary At
Managua, the number including Congress
men Enrique Corda and MaNiin'naho
Sasasa, the military commanders or era
NADIA and Rvs and many other prominent
perSOnageS.
No one is permitted in the vicinity of
the military barracks or near Zeiaya s
residence, where he Is guarded by thou
sand picked soldiers.
Nine O'Clock Curfew Law.
After o'clock at night no one is al
lowed in the streets of any of the towns
under government control. All houses are
ordered closed at that hour.
Anarchy reigns within the government
as we'll as in the army, because Zelaya
will trust no one and has made foreign
ers his confidants. All Nicaraguans have
been called to arms, and many are leav-
ing the towns and joining the rebels or
hiding in the mountain Businesses.
Up to the present Zelaya has exacted
war contributions amounting to nearly
81 100000 All who refuse to pay the tax
are Immediately imprisoned.

soldiers during disorders that occur daily
in the towns.

Canvass as Dissatisfaction
Of Site Next.

as to the progress of the aviation guar
antee fund by the Washington committee

and the invitations have been sent to
the Wrights to be present also.
A telegram was received from the
Wrights today saying that they were not
certain whether they could be in New

there IL possible, and, II so, would ac-
cept the luncheon invitation.

number OF distinguished visitors present
at this meeting and the members Of the
Washington and Baltimore committee feel
quite encouraged over the prospects of

of the possible locations yesterday, and
