games each, but despite their low
rank $4,000 persons came from far

last football game of the Big Three

this morning. however. they came

trains would arrive at the New Ha-
ven station on the average OF every
two minutes and ten seconds.

for football was forecast. The early
crowds were well equipped with
coonskin and other fur coats for the
chill winds that sweep the bowl.

kickoff and both were as fit as It

from distant post in the bowl as
a signal for the Yale and Harvard
bands, massed as one, to play the
Yale song. Bright College Years"
