This is the latest date at which it is possible to secure these blanks. Send first here for. your blank and when you receivé it, you will learn, from the instructions printed on it, just how to fill out your order, and forward to. the: Footbal) Association The only thing necessary to say about these blanks is, that they are ex- clusively for Yale graduates who are subscribers to the WEEKLY; that each subscriber is entitled to one applica- tion, and that not more than three seats can be obtained on an application. The fate of the application after it reaches the Yale University Football Association cannot be in any way pre- dicted by us. All that can be said is that the Association’s officers will do all that is possible to give WEEKLY subscribers good seats. Announcement in regard to the Yale- Princeton seats will be made in another issue. > > —__—_——_- Go to the Yale Club Friday. On Friday night of this week, the Yale Club will throw open its doors to all graduates of Yale. The manage- ment has asked the WEEKLY to extend to them all a very cordial invitation to be present, whether they are members of the new club or not. It looks as if there would be a great Yale gathering at that time. —_____++e_____ The Fall Regatta. The Fall Regatta will take place Sat- urday afternoon, October 16, on Lake Whitney. An effort is being made to have the scrub crews take part in the Fall Regatta, as they proved so suc- cessful an addition at last Sprisg’s re- gatta, but it is doubtful whether suffi- cient men will-come out, so many being now interested in football and track athletics. —_____¢ 4 ____.. in the College Pulpit.

Under the management of the Yale Glee Club, the Princeton Glee, Banjo and Mandolin Clubs will give a con- cert in the Hyperion Theatre on Fri- day evening November 19, which is the night before the Yale-Princeton foot- ball game. This is one of the pleasant things which the holding of college contests in a college town has again made possible. The arrangements for putting the tickets on sale are as yet incomplete. A quartet from the University Glee Club will attend as guests the Sports Night Concert of the McGill Univer- sity Glee Club, which will take place Friday evening, October 15th.

It avoids the two extremes of a treatment too technical or too “popular,” and details the history of the Roman and Germanic arts in a manner both entertaining and instruc- tive. The illustrations are very numer- ous and unusually good. “Story of the Cowboy.” Mr. Hough in his “Story of the Cow- bov,” the third and latest addition to The Story of the West Series (D. Ap- pleton & Co.), has given us a readable and valuable account of the rise of our great cattle industry, and a truly pic- turesque study of one of the most in- teresting figures in the history of. our own times. The book is full of infor- mation, evidently gathered largely from the author’s personal experience and association wih men and _ conditions now past or passing. He writes of the cowboy with sympathetic admiration, which he makes us share.. He does not hesitate to state his faults frankly, but he claims for him that he is simply a part of the West and should be stud- ied in connection with his surround- ings, since thus only can we come to see him as he actually is. We learn to love him, because, as the author says, “at heart each of us is a barbarian, too, and we long for that past, the itus of whose heredity we can never eliminate from out our blood.” The writer discloses a_ picturesque- ness of phrase and a true humor in ex- pression, as well out of quotation marks as in them, which appeals strongly to one’s Americanism and is in pleasing keeping with his theme. In the clos- ing chapter, where he chants the pass- ing of his hero, he rises almost, if not quite, to poetry. “He rides. on out into the evening, jaunty, erect, virile, strong. The dust of his riding mingles with the dust of night. We cannot see which is the one or the other. We can only hear the hoof-beat passing boldly and steadily still, but growing fainter, fainter, and more faint.” With such books as-this at one’s el- bow, there is slight excuse for not knowing our great West. .

The men are training in preparation for the Fall games which will be held at Yale Field on Saturday, October 30. Owing to the short time the men have been working it is hard to get any definite idea of the capabili- ties of the new men. —_—_——__++—-—____ Freshman Union.
