TO-
The probability that the Harvard
Yale and ArmyNayy football games
may be played on the same day next
autumn is likely to develop an inter
esting test of the sports popularity
in the east. According to the pres
ent plans, the service game will be
played at the Polo Grounds on Satur-
day, November %. On the same day
at New Haven, less than 100 miles
away, Yale and Harvard are sched-
uled to meet in their annual gridirOn
battle.
The Yale bowl, with temporary
seats placed along the wall-top con-
course, can accommodate more than
10000 spectators and there is not the
slightest doubt but that every seat
will be occupied. At the Polo Grounds
close to $4,000 spectators can be &C.
commodated, so that if both games
draw full capacity 100000 spectators
will witness the play. TO these fig
ures must be added another 10000 or
$4,000 who will attend minor college
or interscholastic contests within a
radius of 100 miles.
In the past hundreds of football en-
thusiasts have attended both the Yale
Harvard and Army-Navy games when
they were played on succeeding Sat
urdays. Special trains have carried
thousands from New York and Bos-
ton to the big college football classic.
With a spectacular counter attraction,
such as the Annapolis-Wes Point con-
test on the same day it will be inter-
esting to see from what sections the
two big contests draw. In the case
of the university game virtually all Of
the 10000 seats are sold at 81 each,
giving a revenue of close to $l40, 900.
Not more than one-third of the Army
Navy seats are sold, but these bring
SO or more, so that about $4,000 is
derived from the paid admissions.
