NEW HAVEN, CONN., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20,
FOOTBALL TICKETS.
How Subscribers May Secure Seats
for Both Games.
Subscribers to the Yate ALUMNI
WEEKLY who desire to secure tickets
for the Yale-Princeton game, which is
to be played at Princeton, November
12th, may send their names, their class,
and the money for the tickets to the
Ticket Department, YaLtE ALUMNI
WEEKLY, on or before November fst.
Tickets are two dollars each. Each
subscriber will be allowed a maximum
of three seats. It is: understood, of
course, in sending them out, that they
go to Yale people, that is, to gradu-
ates and others who have a real interest
in Yale. The privilege of caring for
WEEKLY subscribers in this- way is
given largely on the ground that it is
one of the surest means of having the
tickets reach the hands of those for
whom they are especially intended.
If any require the use of more than
three seats, their only way of securing
them through the WEEKLY is to send
in the name of some other subscriber,
who is not going to use his privilege of
application, making it clear that the
authority has been given to use his
name. It is not possible to accept a
single subscriber’s application for four
or more seats. On the contrary, it will
be necessary to treat such applications
as invalid. It is also necessary to sug-
gest that no individuals connected with
the WEEKLY have any opportunities for
getting an extra supply of tickets. It
has been simply possible to secure
assurance that the applications from our
subscribers will be given particular con-
sideration. Each subscriber, therefore,
is asked to follow out the rules given
below, in the light of this general state-
ment. The WEEKLY does not guaran-
tee any position. We are only sure
that the applications for seats through
this office will be filled at a favorable
time.
The rules are as follows:
Send your name, class, and remittance
to cover the cost of tickets at two
dollars each, with twelve cents added
for postage and registry, to the Ticket
Department, YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY,
New Haven, Conn. Follow the ad-
dress literally. State distinctly that the
tickets wanted are for the Princeton
game.
Send your letter and money so that it
will reach this office on or before
November 1, and please remember that
it will be impossible to receive any
applications after that date.
These applications will be received up
to and including November ist, unless
it transpires that the number of tickets
desired by our subscribers exceeds the
amount reserved by the Association for
us. Should that point be reached,
notice will at once be telegraphed back,
collect, saying that the supply j
exhausted. ieee
It is therefore advisable to send in -
your application at the earliest date
possible.

Mustering Out Battery A.
Battery A, Ist Conn. Vol., known as
the Yale Battery, reported at New
Haven Saturday, October 1sth, to await
the mustering out, which will begin
Thursday, October 20th. It was in-
tended that the Battery should encamp
in the Second Regiment Armory until
mustered out, but owing to some mis- .
understanding the Armory was oc-
cupied by the Food Exhibit and it was
necessary to atrange temporary quar-
ters at Bowling Hall on Chapel street.
As this building is too small to accom-
modate all the men, the majority are
for the present lodging in town and are
taking their meals at Francis’ restaur-
ant on Chapel street.

PRELIMINARY LIST FIGURES,
Scientific Department Gains 35—
Freshman Class Larger by 43.
The preliminary list of the members
of the Academic and the Scientific De-
partments of the University was issued
last week.
The list shows that in these Depart-
ments the total registration numbered
1,744, a gain of 28 over last year. This
gain has all been in the Scientific
School, while the Academic Depart-
ment continues practically the same with
an enrollment of 1,235 against 1,241 for
last year.
The Academic Freshman class num-
bers 330 in comparison with 296 last
year. The Sophomore class shows a
decided loss, but the Junior class gains
considerably. The Senior class remains _
the same as the previous one, each hav-
ing 301 members. —
The Scientific School has a, slight in-
crease in every class, the largest being
21 by the Seniors. The Freshman class
numbers 196 against 187 last year. The
total gain in this Department is 35, the
increase in numbers seeming to prove
that the higher standard required for
admission will not prevent a steady
growth. .
A comparison of the men coming
from the different states this year with
those from the same states last year
shows that the principal gain was in the
Middle Atlantic region, particularly in
New York and Pennsylvania. New
York sends a delegation of 457 as op-
posed to 437, and Pennsylvania 135 as
against 120. New Jersey, although the
whole number of men enrolled from
that State is actually less than last year,
yet has ten more in the two Freshman
classes than formerly.
The representation from New Eng-
land, the West and South, remains
about the same as before. The entering
classes in no state shows any de-
crease from those of last year, except
in Michigan and Indiana, where the
.losses are three and one respectively.
The greatest gains occur in Connecti-
cut and New York.
There are fourteen persons given in
the list whose homes are in foreign
countries. The different lands repre-
sented are France, Germany, Italy,
Sweden, Turkey, Macedonia, Java,
besides Canada and the Hawaiian Is-
lands. The representation by states of
the classes of the Academic Depart-
ment and the Scientific School is given
below:

Bicycle Team Plans.
The Yale Athletic Association decided
last year to separate the bicycle team
from the Track Association, and to
. place it under a different head. With
this idea in view, H. T. Bowles, ’g9,
has been appointed Manager and W.
E. Minor, 1900, Assistant Manager. L.
Tweedy, the Captain of last year’s team,
has been re-elected Captain for the
coming year.
The bicycle team has practically been
under separate management for the last
two years, but the entire work both on
and off the Field fell on the Captain,
thus taking up a great deal of his time,
which needed to be put on the bicycle
work itself. A separate track had also
to be engaged at the Intercollegiate
meet and two men only were allowed at
the training table of the regular athletic
association. For these reasons, and
Owing to the increased interest in bi-
cycle races, the change has been made.
It is intended this year to have two
meets, one at Manhattan Beach track,
open to all colleges in the Athletic
Association and in no way connected
with the Intercollegiate meet, and an-
other with the Harvard bicycle team,
either at Cambridge or at Bridgeport.
The team: will also be entered in other
amateur meets during the season.
