e —— Record Crowd To See Yale Boston, Nov. 21. — Deluged and duzeu by the unexpected thousands c..uslg upon the city for tne mor- darvard-Yale 1ootball game, tonight. o\ 8 Hoswn is-a flustered host Cjui; throngs have gatheréd here for iy grdiren classic in past years, but ail pievious records pale in compari- Right, En son with the 1919 crowds. Murray (captain) _Of the.seores of hotels and clubs of Quarf the city, not one has even a cot avail- able tor late comers. As a result, long ines of automobiles are speeding to points as far away as Worcester in the|l hope of finding quarters. A Although the Harvard stadium will seat close to 50,000, the demand for tickets is far in excess of accommoda- tlons. The omnipresent speculator is hkrd put to secure even a pair of the pFeeious pasteboards, and with bids of 3100 for mid-section seats the specula- tors find themselves unable 'to profit by ghe fabulous premiums promised for thefraid. 3 The contest has produced unusual conditions in other respects. Garage space is _not for hire at amy price in Boston tonight, and railroad officers say that more long distance specials will roll* into the city tomorrow fore- noon than at any previous' game. There i8 no longer any question that football is eyen more pepular than in pre-war days. Wagering on the outcome of the game also appears to be more preva- .lent than in recent similar contests, al- though it is impossible to obtain any definite idea of the amount at stake. Harvard rules a slight favorite tonight at odds ranging from 5 to 4 to 10 to 7, though many small bets are beinz made between friends at even money. The Crimson cohorts are confident that Harvard's eleven will win, while Yale's legions, unperturbed by the defeat ad- ministered by Princeton, predict that *the Blue will be revenged at Harvard's expunse and are wagering accordingly. Both varsity football squads have been carefully sequestered from the excitement attendant upon the night before the game. The Yale players and substitutes visited the stadium this afternoon for a few minutes of practice to familiarize themselves with light and wind conditions in the Har- vard arena, after which they returned to the Belmont Springs ‘Country club, their temnorary nuarters.” Aside from a walk and possible last siznal drill Saturday forenoon. their football work is past until they face the Crimson eleven at 2p. m.
