This, too, was plan to get his support away from

And here is a little illustration of the power
Of the Tammany boss. When the Steckers quit

That Charles F. Murphy is to-day the leader
of Tammary is largely due to the agitation OF
Julius within the Wigwam. 1t began when Muir

The field is built directly the natural sand

averages little two inches in thickness,
so that all told eighteen inches of loan lies above

matter of little wonder that the result is per-

mitory Everard Thompson is the man at the
head of this department. He has spent eight
years in the development of system which is
simple and effective.
When the last application blank was dropped
into the receiving basket Saturday, October 81, at
o'clock the total number of tickets applied for
by Yale graduates and undergraduates was 46,57O,
and Harvard, with its $4,000 allotment, was yet

along much larger proportions than necessary in
the opinion of many, but with the possibility OF
being extended to even greater capacity owing to
the farsightedness of few.
These facts have made the ticket situation this
year present new difficulties. II is true that IN
England for some of the football games they
have larger crowds, but they are not reserved
