 To Tour Big Chy
 They will remain in New York for the following week. visiting nearby colleges and universities, iu- cluding Princeton and winding ur their stay with a spectacular pa geant and track and field carnival at the Yankee Stadium, October I2 The affair will provide the Italian American citizens of New York with the first Columbus Day cefe- bration of the magniture ever held in Manhattan and judging from the early sale of tickets, the big ball park will be filled to over- flowing.
 But it is the Yale Columbus football game that is just now en- gazing the attention of the stu dents, particularly those who are living at Columbia and who arc embibing some of the football en- thusiasm of Morningside Heights from the students there. Espe- cially are they anxious to see how Q big American football contest is staged. Judging from converse tion with Beccali, Cerali and the other track stars, the Yale Bowl is structure famous in Italy as well as in the United States.
 Interested In Football
 "This football is it so rough as we read in Italy?" inquired Beccali the other day through an interpre- ter as he struggled through con versation with some Columbia track men who were training with the first fleet Milan boy on the South Field. "It is, for instance, as rough as the Rugby game which we have seen in Italy?" It was explained by the Colum- bia hurdler that the football which Beccah would witness in the Yale- Coluhmbia game might not be termed rough, but that it certainly would be rugged proba ply somewhat more rugged than the English brand of football he had seen.
 The spectacular qualities of American football will appeal tc the Italian youths, without doubt, but the size of the Yale Bowl will not awe them. The Turin Stadium, in which the International Univer- sity games were held last year and in which Beccali defeated Jack Lovelock of Oxford and Umberto Cerati, his present teammate. de- feated Joe McCluskey of Fordham at 5000 meters, seats 100000 spec tators and, furthermore, was dedi- cated with the track champion ships exactly six months from the day work was begun on it. r'
 Outstanding Students
 The students who wore a strik- ing sight as they stood in the long lines fwhite to greet Mayor La Guardia last week and again Mon- day when they were greeted by Secretary of State Cordell in Washington, are certain to pro- vide vivid splash of color as they march into the Yale Bowl before the Yale-Columbiat contest October 9th. Most of them are of a. rangy, hair and light compection. Virtual ly every member of the group is an outstanding student in some department or other in one of the twenty-six universities which are presented. They were chosen for excellence in art, music, literature general scholarship or. sports and around the Columbia campus they have fitted into the daily life in a manner that makes them almost as much at home as the students of Columbia themselves. 3
 The students are in direct charge of Consul Giovanni Poli. one of the directors of higher education in Italy.
 Many prominent Italian resi- dents of Waterbury plan to attend the football game in New Haven and to meet the visiting delegation.
