YaIe's New Football Field.

The old Yale field is only partially
available this fall as far as seating ca
pacity is concerned. Only about 1900
of the seats of the structure have been
made ready for the scheduled games.
1t is expected that the Yale-Brown
game at New Haven Nov. 7 will call
for about that number Of seats. There
is just a possibility Of playing this
game in the new "bowl' in order to
give the Eli eleven the practice of one
hard match on it's new playing surface
and in its new surroundings. but it is
not likely that the 'bowl" will be
