FOOTBALL FANS
ARE UNABLE To
SECURE TICKETS
Demand Heavier Than Ever and
in Several Instances No
Public Sale of Seats for
Games Will be Held.

NEW YORK. oct. 90. Any lin
gering doubt OF the popularity of in
Intercollegiate football. even under
the revised playing rules Is removed
by the deluge OF applications pouring
in upon those IN charge OF the ticket
distribution for the big games of the
season. The demand for seats sur
passes any previous record and the
various arrangements are at their wits
ends trying 10 devise some method of
equitably meeting the situation. From
present indications the seating capac-
ity OF the various fields upon which
the Yale Harvard, Army-NaVy. Har-
ward Princeton. Pennsylvania-COrne
and Princeton-Yale games Will be
played Will be unequal 10 the demands
already being filed by alumni, under
grads and their friends
One OF the surprises Of the season
is the increased interest in the Army
Navy game, 10 be played in this city
on Nov. %. IL was thought that with
the transfer OF the contest from
Franklin field, Philadelphia 10 the
Polo grounds, the Al. 900 seats would
accommodate all those who wished TO
witness the play. Such, however. Is
not likely 20 be the case. and IL is pos

seats as was originally planned Less
than 5000 seats are available for such
sale under the most favorable cOndi-
tons and even this small percentage
may be greatly reduced by preferred
applications received by every mail.

To cope with this evil the various
college organizations and publications
are issuing warning upon the subject

the names of those whose infringe

OF the opportunity to redeem tickets
