NEARLY 300,000 ATTENDED HARVARD FOOTBALL GAMES

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In the East the University of Pennsylvania alone outstripped the University in the total attendance at its football games this year. According to the figures recently announced by the H. A. A., no less than 299,803 people attended the eight games on this year's Harvard schedule.

A glance at the figures brings out some interesting facts. At only two games, Rhode Island and Middlebury, were there less than 30,000 people. At three games, Dartmouth, Princeton and Yale, over 50,000 people passed through the gates. The high water-mark of the season was reached in the Princeton game, when 56,380 persons were at the Palmer Stadium.

Last year there were 339,816 people who saw the game, but the difference may almost all be accounted for by the huge size of the Yale Bowl where the Yale game was played last year.
