YALE-HARVARD SEATS.
Instructions as to How Subscribers
May Secure Application Blanks,
All the subscribers to the WEEKLY
who desire seats at the Yale-Harvard
game at Cambridge, November 13, may
secure special YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY
subscribers’ application blanks, by
sending name and address and two
cents in postage to this office on or be-
fore October 23. 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.

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.

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-

made possible. The arrangements for
putting the tickets on sale are as yet
incomplete.

ings and paintings. Regarded in this
saner view, the book under hand is of
real value. 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.

Track Team.
Candidates for positions on the Uni-
versity Track Team were called out
last week. 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.

‘* Penikeese” Reproduced.
The comic opera “Penikeese’ was
given at the Hyperion theater on Fri-
day and Saturday nights, October 8th
and oth, by a companv composed of
local players. This opera was first
given in 1882 for the benefit of the
Yale Navy by Yale men, with a chorus
from the Yale Glee Club. The libretto
was written. by D. H. Buell, ’83, and
the music composed especially by Mr.
T. G. Shepard, director of the Glee
Clubs for the last twenty-four years.
It was customary to produce each year,
for the support of the crew, a minstrel
show. play: or. epeta..... The piece
was not so great a success as it was
when first played.
