more heat can be obtained by
breaking up the fire bed with

hot fuel bed, making 1t level with
the heaped-up burning fuel.
After firing check the draft to

A large charge of soft coal will
burn slowly for several hours,

OF TICKETS AT YALE
Reduction of Members To Certain
Glasses Is One Change
Announced

New Haven, Dec 14.-Several
changes In the method of allotment
OF tickets for the most important
of the football games at the bowl
next season are announced by Harold
+. Woodcock, manager of the Yale
Athletic association, in an article that
appears In the Yale Daily News,
These changes include reduction in al
lotments to certain classes of stu
dents and In re-wording of the
personal use" pledge on applications.
Mr.. Woodcock suggests that these
changes will help solve the increas-
ingly difficult problem Of finding seats
for thousands of Yale men who are
entitled to them. He further writes
that discrimination in allotting seats
will be of more ultimate value than
adding a balcony to the bowl which
would place spectators too far away
from the field.
The rulings. as announced by Mr..
Woodcock, will bar former MEM
bers Of the music and arts schools,
who are not graduates, from receiv-
ing tickets. One ticket each will be
given to graduates, however. One
ticket will be allotted to ex-members
Of other professional schools and two
tickets to members and graduates.

occupy one of the seats called for
on this application or return the

called for personal use of the ticket

turn it unless it were so used. Many
tickets, it was reported, were obtained
under the latter pledge and were
