The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-11-13
ALL BRIDGEPORT
 HITS TRAIL TO
 THE YALE BOWL.
Never Such a Procession of Autos Through Town As
 During Forenoon. -

Old King Football was a merry old Sou1 today. He called for his pipe, his fur coat, his thermos bottle. filled with grape juice, and his lady fair at an early hour. Then he ordered Boggs the chauffeur to start for New Haven where Yale and Princeton are to stage their annual football game in the presence of 60,O00 fair women and brave men. The fddlers three won't be in evidence until tonight when grown up ladies will act like babies in many hotel dining rooms.
 The procession through this city and suburbs began about this morning, by the forelock and advanced on New Haven last night. But the apparently endless arry of automo piles was in full sway before 9:30 a. m.
 Every garage in the east must have been empty this morning for the mo torists hit the trail for the Elm City as if it were the garden spot of the earth. Limousines. sedans, eoupes. runa bouts and every other type of car the advertisements love to talk about were in the parade. And ladies of all ages, sizes and degree of beauty were there, too. Bundled in furs and hid den behind huge goggles they chatted gaily with their escorts and seemed to find life very enjoyable.
 In order to prevent accidents mem bers of the traffic squad were placed at Broad street and Fairfield avenue and Aalso at Wall street and Fairfield avenue in addition to the regular posts at the Main street and. Water street intersections. Traffic Policeman Gou1den had busy time at the Main street but at last, reports his smile had not been wiped off.
 It is estimated that the biggest crowd in years went from this city to see the contest. One reason for this lis the fact that tickets were easier to secure than ever before. Princeton, being a small university, does not re- quire many seats as Harvard did last year and consequently the un- used Princeton seats ware put on pulp lie sale. Last night when the rain came, plenty of tickets were to be had on the streets but this morning the clear weather frightened the demand and there were many anxious in qufries at the railroad station by those who hadn't secured pasteboar1s. Al -man who offered two seats for sale just as the line was forming in front of the ticket window was quickly sur rounded by eager purchasers who gave up their positions in the ticket line.
 For the convenience of the enthusi- asts the New Haven road had provid- ed four special trains from this city. The 9:28 was not so well patronized but the, 10;43 was crowded and the 11:33 also carried 8 capacity number. The biggest crowd waited for the 12:1s, because it was more convenient for those who had to work until noon.
 The railroad station was a bustling place. The line in front of the ticket window increased in numbers as the morning wore on and about noon it had reached outside the door. Boys were selling miniature footballs and Maxim s. the Fairfield avenue news boy, led squad of vendors who flour ished Yale and Princeton banners and yelled Here's where you get the win ming colors.''
 All local hotels profted by the foot ball crowd. The Stratfield, Lorraine and Atlantic said. last night they were filled to capacity and the dining rooms will be lively tonight when the return ing crowds get there. Manager Cant well of The Stratf1eld had the dining room decorated with yellow and blue 'chrysanthemums and two large foot balls were displayed. The local flor ists also ~n~orted | t many orders of yiolets, chrysanthemuns and other flowers had been sold.
