Demand for Seats

BOSTON, Mass. Oct S,-Prices for
tickets bought from spectators to the
Harvard-Yale foot ball game this year
will make the quotations on the recent
worlds series tickets sound like tips In

will exceed the supply six or seven times
over. II is estimated and only those who
tote million dollar bankrolls or who are
Harvard or Yale students or alumni will
be able to edge their way into the stadium
on November 20.
The Harvard Athletic association In
Cambridge Is this early in the season be-
ginning to feel the pressure OF the enor-
nous demand for the tickets The pub
llcity attendant on the recent granting
OF the permit for the temporary wooden
stands first attracted the attention OF the
general public TO the fact that accomno-
dations this year will be at the highest
premium yet known. The result has
been a ceaseless influx Of applications
from Harvard men for their Yale game

Joe Only One to 7hroU Earl and
Earl Only One to 7hroU Joe

Three years ago last April q fall was
called upon Joe Stecher. SO far a. II
known this is the only time q referee ever
patted an opponent OF Joe's on the back.
The lad who turned the trick Is Earl
Caddock. who is to Cass county. 1owa,
what Stecher is to Dodge county, Me-
braska, and who Is the one other wrestler
whom mat fans regard as irreproachably
honest.
Caddock IL a product of Anita, e little
inland town In Cass county. One day he
was driving down a road with a team
when he passed the farm Of Frank Petit,
for whom Stecher was working at that
time. Petit stopped TO talk to Earl and
told him OF a strong fellow" he had
working for him. Caddock was regarded
as a pretty husky youth around those
parts, so Petit suggests that he and the
strong fellow work out. Caddock was
agreeable.
So the workout was arranged for In a
osene-lamp-lighted hall in Berea
When Caddock arrived he found Stecher
on the job. Joe suggested that an admis-
sion be charged. What is this7" queried
Caddock, "a workout or wrestling
match7"
Lets make It a match" said Joe.
"All right" agreed Caddock.
Thirty-one persons were charged a dime
a throw to see the fray. thus making a
total gate Of 1910 Stecher copped co
per cent for his bit and the house man
ager got the other 40
The first fall OF the event went to
Stecher. 1t came quick. Caddock de-
clares that It really wasn't fall. but
that the referee being a novice at UNI
piring called it ahead OF time.
The second fall came just as quick. but
the referee awarded this fall to Caddock.
Proving that he has a pretty good claim
TO the reputation for honesty, Caddock
admits this was no fall either and that
the referee again started out ahead OF
the train.
The third fall went to Joe about the
same as the first one.
SO Joe Was Thrown.
So officially Joe Stecher has been
thrown once. Caddock declares no one
of the three falls awarded we're real
falls. and It doesn't matter as the event
7 is shrouded in the veil OF the past, but
never let II be said we can't dig up thS
old dope on the Dodge phenom.
A year after the tilt with Stecher, Cad
dock went to Chicago and ran acrosi
a chap named Oakes, who was acting a.
trainer at Hull house there. Caddocl

This team has not lost q game on their

margin to the superiors. According to
their manager. they have an unusually
strong team this year and in all proba-
