...CRIMSON prints the following regulations in force at the time of the Yale game in New Haven tomorrow and gives the following directions for reaching the Bowl. The game will start promptly at 2 o'clock. Ticket holders should make every effort to reach the grounds early and thus avoid the inevitable rush of the last half-hour.

Owing to the rain, the field was very muddy and slippery, and consequently it was difficult for either side to gain. Though the practice was held an hour earlier than usual to avoid the wet, the ground was soggy from the beginning of the scrimmage. The University was able to score one touchdown, however, in spite of the mud, when R. H. Hitchcock '19 crossed the second team's goal line on a line plunge after a steady advance down the field...
