Harvard-Yale Game.

Manager Moore went to Springfield Sunday night and spent yesterday in that city in superintending arrangements for the Harvard-Yale game. Mr. Moore, by reason of his position as graduate manager of athletics here, has in charge Harvard's interests; and by a contract made with him personally, has been entrusted with Yale's interests also. He therefore controls all arrangements for the game.

Owing to the great amount of business to be attended to, Mr. Herbert H. White, graduate manager of last year, has been appointed by Mr. Moore as his representative in Springfield. Mr. White has opened an office in the Nayasset Club Club building, near the corner of State and Main streets. He is selling the tickets reserved for the Springfield public, under the auspices of this club. The tickets are being sold under the system of application blanks, but applications are filled in the order received instead of by lot. Mr. White has in charge all tickets for representatives of the press, whether from Boston, Springfield, New Haven, New York, or elsewhere. Mr. White will probably be in Springfield from now until after the game.

Mr. Moore returned to Cambridge last evening and told many details of the state of affairs in Springfield. G. M. Burnham, who has had the contract of erecting seats in the past, has it again this year. The work is being pushed. The inclined plane on which the benches will be placed has already been erected to about two-thirds of the proposed height on both sides. The benches are all sawed and ready to be put up.

There will be improvement about the entrances this year. Many of the supports have been taken away from under the railway bridge so that access to the entrance will be much freer. And then, instead of one gate to serve as the entrance, there will this year be three. The arrangements for getting to the different sides and ends when once inside the grounds will be practically the same as last year.

Quarters for the Harvard team have already been secured. They will not be in the same place as last year, but in a family hotel, where far better accommodations will be secured. Mr. Moore considers that he is very fortunate to be able to secure such good accommodations. He does not wish to have the exact location published. In fact, it is the earnest wish of all who have the interests of the eleven in charge, that no one shall go to these quarters either before or after the game.

There is less snow in Springfield than in Cambridge. The football grounds have only about an inch of covering, but the ground is of course frozen and hard.

Excitement over the game is already running high in Springfield. Stores are decorated, people are wearing their favorite colors, and even some of the horses have trappings of crimson or of blue.

Arrangements have been made for about one hundred and ten Boston police to serve at the game. They will go down to Springfield on the seven o'clock train and will have dinner at Hotel Russell. All the other police will be from Springfield.

The tickets this year are in a number of respects different from those of last year. They have the same steel plate engraving on the back as last year, but the color has been changed and the workmanship is better. The object of this engraving is to prevent counterfeiting, yet even this safeguard has not prevented some counterfeiting in the past. The face of the tickets is quite different. For one thing, the letters and numbers of the sections, rows and seats are made much more prominent. Applications are now beginning to come in fast.

Mr. Moore announces that it will not be advisable to take ladies into section D. This section is to be reserved for graduates who apply for but one seat, and nearly all of the seats will therefore be taken by gentlemen.
