typhoid fever in Manila, a short time ago.
He was first attacked with an acute
stomach trouble which ran into fever.
Allyn B. Wilmot was born at Post
Mills, Vermont, July 19, 1869, and after
graduation from the Law School in the
Class of Ninety-Five took up the prac-
tice of law in New Haven, being a mem-
ber of the firm of Coleman & Wilmot.
Last Spring he joined the United States
regular army as a member of the
Twelfth Regiment and sailed from New
York to Manila shortly afterwards on
the transport Sheridan. During his
stay in Manila he wrote a number of
interesting letters descriptive of the ser-
vice, to the local papers.
YALE DICT:
[Class and Association Secretaries are invited to
contribute to this column.]
Ninety-Six Triennial Record.
Owing to the class secretary’s absence
in Europe during the Summer and his
severe illness for six weeks, work on the
Triennial Report has hitherto been im-
possible. The secretary has now, how-
ever, begun active work and the record
will be completed as soon as possible.
In order to make it of greater value
the secretary requests immediate notice
of recent changes of address or of busi-
ness, of degrees obtained in June, of
marriages or births of children—any-
thing, in short, that will increase the
value of the Record to ’96 men. Exact
information is wanted, with dates given,
when possible. The following men
failed to fill out and return the Triennial
blanks, and their records will be imper-
fect unless information can be obtained
at once from them or from their friends:
Alling, Henry D. Baker, Mark Bald-
win, Ball, Ballentine, Billard, Brastow,
Breckenridge, W. F. Brown, Carley,
Carroll, Chapman, Charnley, Cheney,
Colton; Damon, Dean, DeSibour, Fla-
herty, Forbes, Godchaux, Gordon, Gor-
man, Govert, Grant, Heidrick, A. C.
Jones, L. C. Jones, Kellogg, Kinney,
Lampman, Longacre,. McClenahan,
Morris, Mundy, Park, Pelton, Prince,
Sawyer, Scott, W. D. G. Smith, Spald-
ing, Stalter, H. Taylor, F. M. Thomp-
son, Tracy, Treadway, Wadhams, Wick-
enden, Yeaman.
From various sources the present sec-
retary is im possession of many ad-
dresses and some facts of these men,
but no blanks filled out by them are in
the papers turned over to him. Every
‘96 man is urged to make a special
effort to supply whatever material he
can for the class record. Letters should
be addressed to George Henry Nettle-
ton, care of Graduates Club, New
Haven, Conn.

FOOTBALL TICKETS.
How Alumni Weekly Subscribers
and- all Yale Graduates May
Secure Them.
As announced last week, all tickets
for graduates, for the Yale-Harvard
game in Cambridge, November 18, and
the New
Haven, November 25, are to be dis-
tributed through the Ticket Department
of the Yate ALUMNI WEEKLY.
Graduates desiring to secure tickets
to either game, can send to this office
any time after Friday, October 27, for
application envelopes, in which formal
application, with proper enclosures, are
to be made. The application must then
be returned to this office. Four tickets
will be allowed on each application for
the Yale-Harvard game, and three
tickets on each application for the Yale-
Princeton game.
Yale-Princeton game in
All communications
in regard to tickets must be addressed
as follows: Ste
Ticket Department,
Yale Alumni Weekly,
New Haven, Conn. .
The detailed conditions governing
the allotment of seats will be given on
the application blank and those condi-
tions must be agreed to by each appli-
cant.
Each request for application blanks
must enclose two cents for postage.
There will be two sets of application
blanks—one for ALUMNI WEEKLY sub-
scribers and one for other graduates.
Applicants should state definitely to
which kind they are entitled.
All tickets will be given out on indi-
vidual applications. If any club or
other group desires seats together, the
application must consist of a bunch of
individual applications. This rule is
absolutely necessary in order to prevent
duplications and will be strictly ad-
hered to. It has become increasingly
difficult to place any considerable num-
ber of men together at the large games,
especially at the New Haven games.
The aim of the management is to secure
the fairest chance for the largest num-
ber of individuals, and allotments of
groups of seats, except when made after
_all individual applications are taken care
of, can hardly be made without doing
injustice to individuals. In the case of
individuals an accurate record of allot-
ment will be kept, with the aim of pre-
venting a continued run of bad luck in
the drawing, by giving, from time to
time, a preferred place in the drawing
to those who have happened upon the
less desirable seats more than once.
This will not apply to individuals who
are grouped as aclub. The chances, as
for the best seats, are therefore in favor
of the individual in the long run.
It will be best for ALUMNI WEEKLY
subscribers to apply as such.
There will be a certain number of
seats in each section for the graduates.
All seats are good, but all can not get
the seats in the middle of the Yale side.
There has, however, been an equitable
allotment of the seats as between the
undergraduates and the graduates.
Every graduate applying for seats will
be held responsible for the final use of
the seats given to him. This point
bears careful reading and will be elab-
orated in the conditions on the applica-
tion. Those applying in the names of
other graduates than themselves, must
submit evidence that they have the right
to use those names.
No_ individual connected with the
AtuMNI WEEKLy has any opportunity
to ~secure seats other ~ than =~ that
possessed by any graduate, and it will
be simply impossible to make excep-
tions to these rules.
CLOSING OF DRAWINGS.
Applications for tickets to the Yale-
Harvard game will close at noon,
Wednesday, November 8.
Applications for tickets to the Yale-
Princeton game will close at noon,
Wednesday, November 15. ;
COMMITTEE TO SUPERVISE DRAWINGS.
A committee of five graduates, whose
names will be announced later, will
supervise the entire distribution of
tickets to graduates.

YALE WON THE GAME.
Richards? Great Run Made the Only
- Seore.
Yale defeated the University of Wis-
consin at the Field, Saturday afternoon,
Oct. 21, by the score of 6 to 0, thus up-
setting the predictions of almost every
one that Wisconsin would surely score.
The game was clean and fast, and of
the most open character, two great
kickers, Captain O’Dea and Captain
McBride, being opposed to each other ©
in a punting duel which kept the play
shifting from one end of the field to the
other every few minutes. The 65 yard
tun of Richards, which saved the day
for Yale, was one of the finest ever seen
on any field.
The reputation of O’Dea had pre-
ceded him to the East, as a phenomenal
punter and drop kicker, and he had
been at work but a short time when
Yale men began to believe the whole
truth had not been told about him. In
the second half, with the wind on his
back, no single kick was shorter than
40 yards and two reached the great dis-
tance of 65 and 70 yards, while with the
wind against him he was a match for
his opponent, who was playing a first
rate kicking game. Notwithstanding
O’Dea’s magnificent punting, however,
Yale’s rushes kept the ball in Wiscon-
sin’s territory most of the time and he
had but one clear opportunity to exer-
cise his ability at drop kicking. This
was less than two minutes after play
began, when by Chadwick’s muffing of
the kick-off, a Wisconsin man got the
ball on Yale’s 20-yard line, not far from
the side-lines. The silence was pain-
ful on the Yale side as the long pass
was made to O’Dea for a try at the
goal, but it soon changed to a tremen-
dous uproar, for the tackles streaming
through on the Wisconsin captain
hurried him somewhat and the ball went
wide of the mark. His other two at-
tempts at goal kicking were blocked, a
Yale man recovering the ball in each
case.
The Yale team on the whole played
a good game, with the second half an
improvement of 50 per cent. over the
first. On the defensive there was sur-
prising strength and alertness, things
which have been noticeably absent be-
fore this game. Hale, who went in at
left tackle, distinguished himself by be-
ing in every play. The ends, Thomas
and Schweppe, followed kicks well and
played a sharp game every minute of
the time, and barring several poor
passes to fullback, center played the
best game of the season.
The offensive game was, on the other
hand, singularly lifeless, in direct con-
trast to the previous play, and although
the Wisconsin line was not what could
be called a very strong one, because of
poor team work, nothing like steady
gains could be made till near the close
of the second half, when, spurred on
by the vision of a tie game, McBride,
Richards, Stillman, Sharpe and Hale
began to tear holes in the opposing line,
and advance the ball 5 yards at a time.
Richards’ run, which was made just at
the end of a splendid series of charges
which carried the ball to Yale’s 45-yard
line, will go down in history as one of
the most brilliant performances. ,
The first half had ended with no
score, although Yale had had a good
wind with her. Fumbling by Chad-
wick, Sharpe and McBride lost two or
three chances to score, and now the
team was called upon to defend their
goal from the prince of kickers with an
increasing gale at his back. That they
did it successfully, fighting back the
visitors yard by yard, never giving them
a chance to get the ball inside the 50-
yard line, where Mr. O’Dea might drop
a goal, is a thing worth telling. But
to the story of the winning run.
Richards had been substituted at right ©
half for Chadwick, who had had an
attack of fumbling in the first half. The
former was considerably in the nature
of an experiment, for most of his experi-
ence had been at playing guard on the
school team at Lawrenceville, and al-
though he is a Senior he had not seemed
particularly promising to the coaches,
who had worked him at end in the third
eleven and last week had given him a
day or two behind the line. He ap-
peared to be the only available man,
however, to take Chadwick’s place.
The wisdom of the choice was soon
discovered,
Yale had fought the ball from her
10-yard line up the field 25 yards, where
McBride kicked to O’Dea, who immedi- ©
ately drove the ball back 70 yards to
Fincke on Yale’s 10-yard line. Fincke
could gain but a few yards before the
lively ends were upon him. From here
the great drive was made to the 45-yard
line, the gains being made chiefly by
McBride, Stillman, Hale and Richards.
Yale, whose physical condition seemed
perfect, was improving every minute
and Wisconsin could not hold her. At
the 45-yard line Richards was passed
the ball for a run around Wisconsin’s
right end. He got away very quick
under splendid interference by Thomas,
Sharpe and McBride, but he was run-
ning so fast he got beyond them and
when he turned down the field he was
alone. Juneau attempted to stop the
runner, but he tackled too high, and
Richards, by a half turn of his body,
threw himself clear, staggering, but still
going. Then Wilmarth, the speedy
quarterback, dashed upon him, but
could not get a grip. There were still
three Wisconsin’s tacklers, including
O’Dea, in the path, but keeping his right
arm working like a pile driver, Richards
held straight on his course, knocking
one after the other aside and finally
falling winded behind the goal posts.
Brown kicked the goal. It was a time-
ly score, for four minutes later the
whistle stopped the game, Yale having
the ball in the middle of the field.
Richards was given a tremendous
ovation and was carried from the field
on the shoulders of his admirers.
The interest in the game through the
country was remarkable, probably be-
cause it was the first meeting of a
western eleven with one of the so called
“big-four.” Over 4,000 people saw the
game, which is the largest number ever
recorded outside of the championship
games. About a thousand students
marched to the field carrying the class
banners that had been used in the cele-
bration on Wednesday night, and were
headed by a band. A_ considerable
number of Wisconsin’s supporters,
probably 50 or 60, who had come on
from Madison with the team, made a
brave showing as they marched to the
field with a band at their head. They
were much disappointed at the result
of the game. The line-up follows:

Yale 1903, 5; Hotchkiss, 16.
The Freshman football team was again
defeated on Saturday, October 21, by
the Hotchkiss School with the score 16
to 5. A lamentable lack of team play
is the chief cause of the defeats which
the eleven has met in its first two games
this year. Hotchkiss made her three
scores in the first half by heavy mass
plays principally on tackle and by a few
brilliant end runs. In the second half
.the Freshmen rallied, holding their op-
ponents well in check, but being unable
themselves to score more than once.
This score was due to several end runs
by Payne.
