GREATEST DEMAND FOR BOAT RACE TICKETS SINCE THE WAR

Both Harvard and Yale men have overapplied for tickets for the Crimson Eli boat race this year, it became known yesterday through a statement of C. F. Getchell, ticket manager of the Harvard Athletic Association. Over 100 Harvard men who applied will be unable to secure seats on the observation trains.

Word received from Yale stated that 24 hours before closing time the Yale men has overapplied for the boat race by some 450, and that the usual last minute rush would mean that that number of over applications might be tripled.

The demand for tickets this year is greater than at any time since the war. Formerly seats on the observation trains could be purchased at the New London railroad station on regatta day, but it is not expected that there will be a public sale this year.
