There was no way to estimate the
thousands who were driving to the
game.
Union Station was filled as it was
during the travel peaks of the wal
days, only this was a different type
of crowd with fur-coated women
wearing big chrysanthemums anc
men with pennants. Many carried
steamer rugs.
The station loudspeaker blared in
structions to passengers holding
tickets of various colors telling them
which gate they should use. Ven.
doris of Army and Navy tokens were
doing brisk business.

and Canadian Army officers in the
lines to the gates and an occasional
officer from Latin-American coun-
tries. Army uniforms far outnum-
bered Navy uniforms and there were
MANY more officers than enlisted
men.
