Within the history of the Yale Bowl, I personally have taken back 10,000 tickets to yale the day before a big game. Let Mr. Moore in these days err on that side of his planning and there would be confusion worse confounded. "Then indeed the CRIMSON's hint that the coaches and players get all the tickets they want for their friends would be well-founded. Plays are not adopted the day before a game no matter how good they might be and plans for the Yale game with all the printing, instructions for allotment, etc., are not made...
...optimism--to confine itself within these modest limits. If we are to believe Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, the payments for the first two years will come to at least 850 millions. Past experience has shown that the estimates of those who foster large scale expenditure are apt to err upon the slender side.

In fact, high tragedy has its day; from Mr. McVeagh's protagonist who "gathered up his feet and died" to Mr. Train's delightfully told adventures of Casimir Cashless and the Grand Keezer. Surely, if tradition err not, this is the number of numbers for an Eli to review. Coming from the wilds it has appeared to me that Harvard is essentially a quiet place where the soul is stirred but not to speeches. But--"Thou liest. I am Keezer! and in his wrath, Casimir seized her and hurled...
