CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. L.
Weather conditions for the Princeton
Harvard game were more satisfac-
tory to the spectator that the player.
An Indian summer sun shining
through slight film of haze made
heavy wraps unnecessary, and the alb
sence of even a light breeze accen-
tuated the strength of the suns rays.
The playing field was dry and fast,
although the turf had been worn away
by practice and play until the grid
iron. except along the edges, was
brown instead Of green.
The crowds were unusually slow in
arriving at the stadium and half an
hour before game time the great gray
cement horseshoe was only dotted
with groups of spectators. During
the final thirty minutes before the
kickoff the thousands poured out of
the subway, the trolley and motor
cars in almost endless streams, and
soon the bridge across the Charles
river was massed with slow marching
humanity, which fled into the stadium
through a dozen entrances, changing
the gray tiers OF seats into long rows
