WALKING TO GAME.
Lester R.. Craig and Two Companions
 Hiking from Brown University.

'On to Yale' is the slogan of three Brown students who left Providence Thursday to hike to New Haven for the Brown-Eli contest. Too eager to wait for a train on Saturday morning, this trio of enthusiasts slipped their leashes Thursday night and started to walk to the city where they expect to see the team of their alma mater make sausage meat of the Yale bulldog in Saturdays game. That the Yale bull- dog might hand the Brown bear a plate of sauerkraut there was not thought.
 One of the long distance mixers is Lester R. Craig, IS, son of Mir. and Mrs. w. J. Craig of Winter street His companions are classmates, H. B. kulp of Pottstown, Pa, and w. w. Chase of Fall River.
 The men started out without cere- mony, says Providence paper, hav- ing little else about them but their usual modicum of clothes and a su- perf1uity of enthusiasm, and there was would last all of the day. As long as the game wouldn' t come to them, they decided to go to the game, it was an- nounced by the intrepid trio.
 The jaunt the boys have set for themselves is something over 100 miles. To hike this from Thursday night to the time when the game is scheduled to open this afternoon is something of stunt, but the boys figure them selves able to cope with the proposi- ton. It is. of course. barely possible that they may not walk all the way. It being generally conceded that Rhode Island and the parts of Connecticut through which they are to travel are fairly well settled and civilized, and there is always the opportunity for the young men to hail with the high sign of Brown a passing automobile or the more plebian trolley car and after comfortably storing themselves away in a seat indulge in a little mind pedestrianism. which is not near so tiring as doing the stunt on foot
 The boys are going to see that game, however and the method of transit which they elect to use Is exclusively up to their own board of directors. They promise to be there this after noon. cheering for Brown.
