JUNGLE ENCOUNTER BRINGS FLOOD OF APPLICATIONS

1924 FIRST, 1918 LAST IN DRAW FOR ALLOTMENT ORDER

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Two years ago, in the fall of 1921, 8,700 Harvard men watched the Harvard-Princeton football game in the Palmer Stadium. This year the number will be nearly trebled. According to figures given out yesterday by F. W. Moore '93, 21,100 tickets will be sent out from the Harvard Athletic Association offices on Friday to graduate and undergraduate applicants of the University.

Mr. Moore declared that he had been quite unprepared for so large a demand for tickets. In his early negotiations with the Princeton Athletic Association he had reserved in the Palmer Stadium sections 1-8, seating about 15,000, for Harvard spectators. The subsequent demand for tickets, however, caused him to wire for additional sections seating about 7,000.

There will be no surplus of seats in the Palmer Stadium on November 10. The Princeton allotment, as well as the Harvard one, has been over applied, and it may be expected that the Princeton Stadium will be packed to its capacity of 57,000.

The work of filling the applications for Princeton tickets will be carried on all week, and the tickets will be sent out on Friday at the earliest.

A draw was held last night at the H. A. A. to determine the order, by classes, in which the applications of graduates of both the College and the graduate schools will be filled. By this system, a slip bearing the year of each college class whose members have applied for tickets to the Princeton game is placed in a large box. The oldest class in the draw was that of 1852, the youngest, ex-members of 1924. In the draw the slips were pulled out at random, and the graduate applications will be filled by class in that order.

The class of 1924, which, although it is not a graduate class in the strictest sense, has several non-returning members, won the draw. The class of 1918, on the other hand was at the end of the list of 74 classes. The complete list of the draw follows:

Ex-1924, 1902, 1886, 1899, 1920, 1914. 1898, 1883, 1855, 1919, 1865, 1887, 1885. 1881, 1917, 1857, 1903, 1877, 1856, 1870. 1868, 1909, 1867, 1874, 1888, 1906, 1892. 1869, 1862, 1875, 1904, 1915, 1911, 1858. 1876, 1891, 1897, 1921, 1871, 1889, 1916. 1878, 1908, 1882, 1854, 1893, 1906, 1896. 1900, 1863, 1884, 1861, 1901, 1910, 1864. 1869, 1923, 1894, 1873, 1853, 1866, 1895. 1880, 1879, 1872, 1922, 1890, 1852, 1925. 1860, 1912, 1913, 1907, 1918.
