PREP SCHOOL TITLE
Is AT STAKE TODAY

The Prep School championship OF the
District will be at stake this morning
when the ST. Alban eleven and Coach
Newberry's Army and Navy Prep team
meet at Satterlee Field at 10 o'clock. Both
teams have been preparing for this game
for the past two weeks, and when they
take the field both will be in the pink OF
condition.
On form. the two teams are evenly
matched. but ST. Alban has a man who Is
without a peer in the scholastic ranks OF
this city In Brewer. and II the Props ex-
pect to win they will have TO stop Brewer
from the first whistle. As a running mate
to Brewer. Coach Green has Wallace in
the full back position and Carter In the
other half. and this combination will
have to be watched by the Connecticut
avenue team.
Owing to the soggy condition OF the
field. the play will probably be slow.
sandwiched in with some good runs. but
the fields condition will handicap the
players more than Is expected.

greatly improved year by year. and
can safely say that the speediest
pedal-pushers in the world are now in

DOES THE GRID GAME
PAY AT OLD ELI?

New Haven. Conn. Nov. 1s.-Even with
losing team. Yale has found the foot
ball season this year the most profitable
ever. Football has proved more popular
than ever by the sale of tickets at the

season. 1t is estimated that Yale would
receive the high water mark sum Of
Hl5.0oo from the sale OF tickets this
fall.
The total receipts from the $3.50
tickets sold for the Yale-Princeton game
will be Sl11. 500; the receipts from the
1900 tickets to the Yale-Harvard game
will be $4,000; from the Yale-Brown
game the receipts were about $4,000. ana
from the six preliminary games Of the
season about $4,000. making the total
receipts for the season nearly a quarter
OF a million, or. to be exact, s231. 500
Yale's share of this will be about s115.-
900. This Is about $4,000 more than the
previous Yale record.

as time went by without the party's
return, they displayed great deal OF
