YALE BOWL TO HAVE SEATS
 FOR 70, 900 AT HARVARD GAME
Management Orders 5000 Extra But These Have Been Already Ap=
 piled for

New Haven. Oct. 2-Esverard Thornp- son. manager of the Yale athletic tick let department, last night announced an amusing condition following the closing of applications for the YaIe- Harvard football game. It was found that, roughly speaking T0,000 appica- tiol1s have been received. Taae new Yale A1owI seats only 61,00o people. The situation was quickly me and 1t was decided to imm mediAte1y erect enough temporary seats to fill applications which have been received up to last might Between 69,ooo and 70.ooO seats will be sold.
 Applications continue to pour in up on the ticket departrneTat, but they will be returned As the game will not be played for weeks it is Believed that Yale would receive applications for fully 125,O00 tickets if the date for closing were set at one week before the game.
 More than 61000 seats have 1been all ready const tructed and ready for use About 5000 more wiM be built around the parapet that caps the bova Space had been left arranging for standing

WELSH AND
 VOL CAST ARE
 IN FINE TRIM

New York, Nov. 2--When Freddie Welsh of England, the lightweight champion of the world. and Ad Vol gast of America, former 18s-pound ti- tie holder, crawl through the ropes in Madison Square Garden tonight the fans are likely to sec a cockIe-of-tIe- heart warming scrap---but not of the kind the press agents for the show would have the gullfble populace be Heve.
 It will be a red hot scrap and one full of action from the first to the final c1ang of the bell, simply be- cause Wolgast, who we are told, still retains much of his former snap and vigor, can only fight in one style. rough and ready, boring in, tearing. bulldog kind of battle, which, through its very savageness and derceness, makes it impossible for an opponent to stall, no matter how clever he may be.
 But as for a knockout, which the ever blooming press agent has been prophesying, why the chances are as slim as those of a snowfall in Quito, a town which is said to be hotter than hot tamale.
 The, chances are slight for Wolgast being knocked out, because If he pes sesses half of his o1d-time vigor and vitality he is tougher than a. Western broncho and almost inpervious D punishment; and also because Welsh, since the early days when he sacri- feed a healthy kick for speed and cIeverness, hasn't a punch that would dent the preyerbial cream puff

REM YOSTS DOWN
 NEW LONDON SQUAD

With Howie Baker at quarterback, the Remington 2 Yosts displayed a greatly improved brand of football against the AH-New London team yesterday. The locals beat the WhaI- CTS by 55 to Q The one sided game was a source of disappointment to the spectators who had been led to expect that the visitors were 3. strong aggye- gation.
 The Yost arrangement was also dis pleased inasmuch as the New London manager had promised he would bring a good team. The Yosts were much heavier than their opponents. In ad- dition to Baker the locals exhibited another new man in Cunningham who played a good game at halfbaek- Next Sunday the Yosts will play the strong Hum n1snreys of New Haven.
 The game was marred by an acei- dent to Collins Of New London who fell under a pile Of humanity and broke a small bone in his leg. He was taken to St Vincent's hospital.

room, accommodating about 12,8Oo peo- pie. It has been decided not to uttl- iez this room for sta,ndinga spectators this year, but to devote it to the con- strucfion Of the 5000 seats which will be built Immediately.
 Harvard has been allotted 10000 seats in the new structure. and is clammor- ing for more. For the first time in fifteen years the Yale management all lowed Yale alumni and undergraduates four tickets each this fall It was thought a week ago that the public would have a chance to purchase about 10, GOO tickets, but the ticket depart ment has Ebeen literally swamped with applications as the date for closing approached.
 The construction of the stadium fE complete in every detail ,and the game could be played there tomorrow if necessary with 61, 900 seats available There was talk of playing the Yale Brown game next Saturday there to allow Yale team to Judge the air cur rents and light and shadows. It has been decided, however, to use the old field for the Brown encounter

OAKLANDS TRIM
 PIONEER ELEVEN

The OaIzlands buried the Pioneers of Ansorida in football yesterday after noon at Newf1eld park by the score of 36 to O. no time during the con test was the locals goal in danger, The, visitors were outclassed man for man and also outweighed. Against the. powerful attack the Pioneers could do nothing. The game was marked by much fu1nbling. by both sides. In the last half the locals just played with the Pioneers executing many trick plays all of which were very st1c- cessfuI1y carried out. The feature of the game was the aH- around playing of Klfba. and Heagney and the TO yard run of H. Delor1ne for a touchdown For the visitors, Capt. O'Brien played a2brilliant game, break ing up many formation plays and sometimes throwing his man for a loss.

There will be no roller pol in Bridgeport this winter. Because of their inability to secure the Casino, Messrs. McAvoy and Smith decided not to transfer the Schenectady fran schise here. It was voted at a. meet ing of the Interstate league in Savin Rock yesterday to transfer this fran chise to New Britain. Waterbury will get the Albany franchise. This leaves a circuit consisting of New Haven, New Britain, Waterbury, Won : cester, Pittsdeld and Poughlxeepsie. Because of the change in arrange Inents the Waterbury and New Brit ain halls cannot be fixed for the op- ening season tonights so these teams will not play until netx week.
 The dropping of Bridgeport was no surprise in view of the story pub lished in this column last week, when it was announced that the polo mag hates would not put up a. $500 bond demanded by Owner Weiss of the Ca sino. The promoters said Weiss wouldn't guarantee the use of the hal on holidays, either. They tr1eu to get the Armory. but were unable to do so.
 Western football again failed to stand the test with the eastern va riety, when Michigan invaded the Harvard stadium Saturday. Bad generaliship, the same weakness that has cropped out so frequently among western, teams this season, was in dicated again by Michigan. The wes- terners did not resort to the kicking game in the early part Of the contest but instead started their attack in their own territory andS made long marches down the field. only to lose the ball wihtin a few yards of the Harvard line These tactics simply wore out the Michigan backs and ac- complished nothing. Harvard on the other hand was ordering kicks on the second down during the early stages of the contest Thus when the Crimson got it's only chance to score, it's backs were fresh enough to take the ball 45 yards for a touchdown
 Yale's ability to roll up 45 points on Colgate proved that the Ellis have reached the height Of their scoring game. The coaches were somewhat alarmed at the defensive weakness of the Yale Hnemen who allowed Col gate to go through for big gains. There is also a. tendency to wonder whether the big score was due so

 HARVARD MEN
 TO REST NOW

CaAnbridge, Mass. Nov. eTt will be a. day or two before the Harvard foot ball players who went through the Michigan game Saturday will be able to do much hard work coward the final getting ready for the Princeton Tigers. who will be t91is weeks attrac- tion in the stadium No one was ser iously hurt here Saturday. but all were battered hard.
 Tr11rnIbuIl, who wore himself out and also hurt his head again. will rest un- as he gets over his bump on the head. will get back into the middle of the line Smith the new eend, who did .so we'll at Hardwtck's regular wing, hurt a. leg that has been the cause of his keeping out of football mosta all the year, but even he is not expected to have to remain on the. side lines long.
 Mahan and Pennock both will start in again. Each of. these veterans could have been used against Mfcl1i-- gan had Hamghton thought necessary. save them if he could, and that this came about Is a great source of satis- faction in the Crimson camp. Sat- surdayss game meant a lot for such players as Fra-nclzes Weston, Parson, and the younger end rTlshers, and alto gether the match was about as, hard football as any team could 9ave
 Michiganss rush line condition YVES wonderfully and Yost certainly has a string of mighty athletic young fe1- lows from tackle to taci1Ie. Mahan's drop kicking is expected to be a very prominent factor in Harvard's game from now out, and if he and Pennock can keep in trim for the remainder Of the year Harvard should be able to give a good account Of itself an the late season.

Coach Hinkey be- Heves the Yale attack is perfected now and from this time on he will devote his energies to building a good de- fense for the Harvard and Princeton battles.
 The biggest surprise was Prince toms failure to do better than tie. Williams. The Tigers dtsheartened their followers by several times losing the ball within a. few, yards of the Will Hams line. This lack of punch may prove fatal. The Princeton defense was good, but something better in the way of attack must be devised to beat Harvard next Saturday.

Why Women Should Not Vote...Some
Thoughts for Men by a Man

near and far kin-Parkhurstism, femi-
nism. socialism and anarchism-as II has
disposed Of the silver vagary and other
follies.
Now to the argument" This advo-
cate writes: "Anti's first symptom OF
nightmare relates to the principle that
government Is founded on force" The
people OF these United States to-day are
being painfully made aware that this is
anything but nightmare. The Mexi-
can situation Is demonstrating this
principle OF force" with an army and
with dreadnoughts. The Carnegie COM
mittee of investigation into the Balkan
wars has developed the same sad "prin-
ciple," that the vilest form OF force

countries, where ideals should be higher.
The Government having the most guns
inculcates that principle" in its uni

Even in virtuous and suffrage bet

Another fantasy OF Ants" Is pointed

Mrs. Whitehouse that 1--WE all agree that
women are better off to-day than ever

confederation Of the anti-suffragsts'
idea that women should be content
