Yale Hilection Delayed. Although the Ysale eleven disband- d for the season after Saturday’s ictory over Harvard, it will be called kogether twice more. A complimen- ry banquet by slumni, and possibly en. 1he 10 e few weeks as a testimonial of its play | the last season, and it will meet to choose a captain in three or four weeks. It is not customary at Yale to elect a football pntain for time after the close of the season. A slightly longer delay than usyal will occur this year, because of the { fact that Captain Clinton R. Black is considering returning to Yale for an- other vear. He is a member of the { Sheflield Scientific school, which has both a three and a four years’ course- If he completes the three years' course next June he will not return to college, but he will be eligible to play football next fall if he decides to take the four years’ course. In case he returns to Yale another year his election to the captaincy seems’ assured. If he does not return, End Rush Comerford and Tackle Bald- ridge are the most prominent can- didates. All the Yale players were in tiptop condition yesterday, and will resume college recitations today. The suc- cess of the coaching system installed by Tad Jones has made him a lead- ing fligure In Yale football. A move- ment is on foot to give him a posi- tlon on the Yale faculty, as ath- letic representative on = that body. Before he resigned as head of Yale athletics, Walter Camp was a member of the faculty and of the Yale uni- versity council, which i composed of the deans and leading professorss Both Jones and Captain Black have refused to discuss the last season, ex- cept to express their gratitude to the team for the loyal support given them. Captain Dadmun of the Harvard eleven said before a squad left here for Cambridge In a sleeping car ear- ly vesterday morning: “The 1dea that we didn’t expect such a fight from Yale is foolish, for we did. Yale's whole team played well and as usual were ready for any breaks in the game. This was one of the games that you can count as having been won on your own mis- plays and, of gourse, you know what I mean. The Harvard team played a hard game and we could say a great deal about Casey's being called back, but we won’t. I do believe, though, that the official should have been able to point out the man who was said to be guilty of the holding which cost us a touchdown. He couldn’t do it when I protested and, of course, it was disappointing.” ndergraduates, will be given in a Dadmun warmly praised the play- | some | BRITAIN ing of the two Yale ends, George Moseley and (harlie Comerford NEW Crimson Offers No Alibi. Except for a broken nose for Ed- die Casey and a head injury for Thacher, Harvard came out of its Yale game Saturday without many hurts, although every one of the reg- ular players returned home ready to g0 to bed. the players feel they should done so, but they take the defeat philosophically and are offering no | alibis. Percy Haughton and his as- sistants feel that Yale had the better material and had it prepared to play a stiff defensive game and then to take advantage of the breaks. Next year Harvard will have soms heavy men for the line from this season’s freshman eleven and with its more the Crimson has high hopes for 1917 and 1918. Five of this year’s regular rush line will be lost by grad- uation next June, Harte, Coolidge, Dadmun, Harris and Caner. Wheeler, the left tackle and Snow, the right guard, will be on hand next fall, however, and Harvard its backfield comvlete, Thacher, Hor- ween and Robinson being juniors and Eddie Casey a sophomore. Harvard used ten substitutes New Haven, Minot, Sweetser and ‘Willcox all being seniors. The others all will return, Phinney, Batcheldor and Wiggin being available for the line and Murray, Felton, Bond and Flower for the backfleld. Whether Haughton will coach again next fall is not known. PRESIDENT GOES GOLFING. Cold Much Better and Trip to Chevy Chase Is Possible. Washington, Nov. 27.—President Wilson's cold was so much better to- day that he went for an early morning game of golf. The president had engagements to see Baron Zwiedinek, charge of the Austro-Hungarian embassy, who de- sired to invite the president to attend memorial services here Wednesday for the late emperor; Senator Martine and former Philippine Commissioner Hugh Frayne, a member of the American Federation of Labor, and Rozin Orr, of the Street Carmen’s union.

In many respects this was the greatest performance in the history of the company. While the | number of passengers transported New Haven Saturday | 938 less than two ye: to morning vet the total movement into New Haven was considerably larger than it the previous Yale-tarvard g was| was for New Haven in 1914. This w the large number of persor to New Haven on Frid | and evening. tween 8,000 and 10,000 pa were moved into New Haven Friday, and this heavy movement necessitated | eight extra sections of regular trains, and the transportation problem in- volved was consequently much more complex than any previous movement of the kind. There were 31 trains moved on the New York division into New Haven Saturday morning and they carried 18,108 passengers. The average run- ning time between New York and New Haven was 1 hour and 59 1-2 minutes, a remarkable achievement considering the number of special trains. The Boston Shore line handled 15 trains with 5, engers, the Boston Air line s with 1,612 passengers, and the Springfield route 14 trains with 6,359 passengers. Seventy-onc Trains Going Out. Leaving New Haven after the game 33,779 passengers were handled in 71 trains from 4 p. m. to midnight. The total movement in and out of New Haven on Saturday was 142 trains and 66,202 passengers. As many per- sons went to New Haven on Friday preceding the game, so it was e pected that many would leave Sun- day and arrangements were made by the company to run several extra sections of regular trains to handle this Sunday crowd. A conservative estimate of the number of passen- gers moved by the New Haven from Friday to Sunday in connection with the football game is placed at 82,000 passengers. Additional facilities in the way of tracks and platforms at the New Ha- ven station almost entirely relieved congestion, and passengers were en- abled to board the trains with greater ease and speed. There were 16 more trains run by the rompany than in 1914 ,and this, together with the greater seating capacity of the large number of steel cars purchased by the company during the past two years, practically avoided overcrowd- ing of trains and insured considerably more comfortable service. One of the remarkable features of the New Haven record w the fact that while it took only 3 hours and 16 minutes to move 26 trains out of the Grand Central terminal, the oper- ation of the road between New York and New Haven was so efficient that these 26 trains together with 4 other trains between Stamford and New Haven arrived in the New Haven st tion within 3 hours and 11 minutas. In the five hour period from 9:30 a. who went afternoon engers m. to 2:30 p. m. there was an average of 108 passengers detrained each minute at the New Haven station. In order to prepare for and handie this enormous extra business, the company had to move 34 special trains on preceding days to properly distribute the passenger equipment. A total of 612 cars, 175 Pullman and 437 coaches, over and above the nor- mal requirements, w distributed to the principal stations for use as ex- tra cars in regular trains or to make up the special trains. There were 77 steam locomotives and electric locomotives over and above the nor- mal requirements used to handle the additional business, many of which had to be withdrawn from freight service. NAVY PROUD OF T M. Although Defeated Followers Are Satisfled at Fine Showing. Annapolis, Md., Nov. 27.—The mid- shipmen and other navy folks are back in Annapolis, dejected over the defeat by the Army team, but proud of the showing of their repr sentatives and confident of the result next year. The main body arrived over the two railroad trains about 4 o’clock ves- terday afternoon, the football squad reaching Annapolis two hours later. Everything was quiet, but a body of midshipmen was permitted to go to the station and draw the vehicles which carried the football men to Bancroft Hall. Cheers were given for players and coaches, much WILL BUILD SOON. Old Lee Homestead to Be Razed to Make Room for Blocks and Garage. The old Col. Isaac Lee homestead which has stood on Main street op- posite St. Mary’s church for almost 300 years and concerning which there was an accurate historical account in the Town Topics column of Saturday’s Herald, is soon to become a victim of the city’s progress and will be razed to make room for a large business block and garage. Mrs. Helen Kelly McCabe, who owned the property, has formally transferred it to Adolph Perlroth, of New Haven, who is the agent of a real estate company.

The Brittanic was surpassed in size only by the German vessels Im- perator _and Vaterland. Shipping men remarked upon the fact that neither the Titanic nor the Britannic ever reached America. The Brittanic was to have gone into service in the fall of 1914, but owing to the numer- ous strikes in the shipyard and the labor trouble, gotting material the spring of 191 When the war it was put off to started in August, to make.' son is over. which caused delay in | e o rongiEe : . w.\ \ cnpis GEN IS T : e o 0 : . 215, 1914, the Britannic was taken over by the admiralty and fitted out to accomt- modate about 3,500 wounded and sicl. At that time her cabin fittings had not been installed, and there was very little at all on board except the en- gines, funnels, masts and docks. On her first voyage the majority of the partitions on the upper decks were made of canvas, which lasted until the carpenters had time on the way out to Lemnos hay to replace them with wooden bulkheads. Hhe W equipped with a double bottom and fifteen watertight bulkheads carried from the keel to the bridge deck about sixty feet above the waterline. . The Brittanic was 885 feet long, 94 feet beam, 64 feet 3 inches depth of hold, 48,158 gross tonnage, feet 6 inches from her keel upper navigating bridge. She had three propellers driven by two sets of reciprocating engines on to and 104 | the | pressure turbine on the center shaft, hich combined to give her an'ayer- age speed of twenty-four knots under full sure of the twenty-nine bhoile The Britannic was 2,000 tons larger than the White Star liner Olympic, which is now carrying troops, from Canada, and 3,000 tons bigger than the Cunarder Aquitania, now en- gaged a hospital ship carrying wounded men from Saloniki. The | Britannic was commanded by Captain C. A. Bartlett, formerly of the Cedrie. The Britannic had ample lifeboat and life raft accommodation and had, davits which could launch three boats, | one after another, which, it was said | might have accounted for so man lives being saved. The Britannic was the largest pas senger liner that has been sunk since, the war began. The two next in size were the Cunarder Lusitania, 32,000 !tnns. and the White Star liner Arabic, as the port and starboard side, and a low | 20,000 tons, which were torpedoed.
