New Haven, Nov. 11.-At the, Yale
Princeton game on the 18th between
the halves, there is to be spelled out
the word YALE" in white letters ON
a solid field of blue silk handkerchiefs
reaching along the entire Yale side OF
the bowl. This will not only include
the cheering section but every seat on
the Yale side. The bigness of the pro-
ject will undoubtedly make it very
imposing sight to witness besides the
great enthusiasm it is bound to cre-
ate. The plan is that the occupant of
every seat on the Yale side of the
bowl should have one of the blue silk
ha ndkerchiefs and should wave IT at
the closing line of the first verse or
bright College Years" which will be
sung between the halves. At the last
line of the second verse of the song
all will again wave their blue hand
kerchiefs with the exception of the
certain spectators VINO are sitting IN
those seats where white handker-
chiefs win have been placed before the
game Those spectators will wave
these white handkerchiefs which have
been provided and thus form the word
"Y ALE" in white on the blue back
ground which the other handkerchiefs
will form. Blue hankerchiefs have
been mailed to each of the subscribers.
old players. and graduates. 1t is es-
timated that fully 10000 spectators
will participate in forming this huge
YALE.
Considerable uneasiness was felt
this week when on Tuesday the crew
management learned that but rs of the
1000 tickets had been sold for the
Yale Columbia boat race to be held
on the New Haven harbor on Friday
afternoon. That the student body
should show such apparent disregard
for, the one major sport in Yale that
defeated Harvard last year. is more
than the rowing authorities can under
stand. The crew management think
ing that the undergraduates were de-
sirous of seeing the race, chartered q
large steamer to be anchored at the
finish line. The management placed
tickets on sale over a week ago but
up to the evening of November ninth,
three days before the race only 76 out
of the 1900 had been Sold It is the
first time in over 40 years that Yale
has met Columbia and not a hundred
tickets have been sold for the only
available spot from which the whole
race may be seen. Evidently in the
excitement of football the undergradu-
ates have forgotten everything else.
In the belief that alumni associa-
tions and preparatory schools would
| be glad to use moving pictures OF life
at Yale, a series OF such views has
| just been completed. The committee
| in charge, which has been appointed
by the Alumni Advisory Board, con-
sists of Edward B. Reed, chairman, E.
r. Embree, S. H Fisher and ]. R.
| Crawford. The photographs have been
very skillfully taken by the Connecti-
| cut Film Mfg Co. This twenty min
ute film includes interesting scenes on
the campus. building the Bowl. coach
ing the football team, the Junior Pro-
rnenade, the hockey game between
Yale and Dartmouth, the Yale Har-
ward track meet, the Greek play in the
! Bowl the class reunions and baseball
/ games. and the Harvard boat
race of last June. The committee
| feelss sure that the film will prove to
| be an unusually interesting one; in
| fact, it regards it as something quite
novel and possibly the only one of its
kind. 1t anticipates not only a wide
demand for the film but a request for
others of a similar nature. 1t is ex-
pected that this film will be sent
around to the various Yale associa-
tons in order to instruct and interest
