NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In addition to 23,000 Crimson rooters who will actually travel to New Haven today and tomorrow to witness the Yale clash, several million fans throughout the country will have an opportunity to see and hear it over nationwide tlevision and radio hook-ups, making the total audience for the game the largest in history.

According to optimistic WBZ-TV officials, approximately 1,050,000 people in the Boston areas alone will watch the game over television. The station, which is covering the game for the Boston area, figures there are 175,000 sets in the area and counts on an average of six people watching each set.

The television audience has grown by 900,000 people in this region since last year, when there were only 23,000 sets in Boston.

NBC Chore

The game will actually be televised by the NBC station WNBT of New York and will be relayed to Boston; Wilmington, Del.; Lancaster, Penn.; Providence; Washington, D. C.; Philadelphia; Schenectady, N. Y.; and Richmond, Virginia.

Students not up to the trek to New Haven can see the game on the many sets in the University, including those in Adams, Winthrop, and Lowell Houses. The Union Committee is holding a special smoker centered around their television set. As always, local bars will be available with television to those who want to simulate the extra curricular of watching a football game and don't mind standing.

In addition to the television coverage, WHDH will provide radio coverage of the game for the Boston area and the Mutual Network will carry it to the rest of the country. The program will be broadcast over WOR in New York and over WYBC, the Yale counterpart to WHRB, in New Haven.

Elsewhere in the following cities, radio stations will be broadcasting the game: Fall River, W. Yarmouth, Cicopee, and New Bedford, Mass.; Torrington and Hartford, Conn.; Corning, Schenectady, Buffalo, and Ithaca, N. Y.; Harrisburg and Lancaster, Pa.; Portsmouth, N. H.; Baltimore, Md.; and Woonsoceket, R. I.

Harvard Club Plans

There will also be hundreds of gatherings of Harvard Clubs throughout the country to see the game on television or hear it over the radio.

The Harvard Clubs of Boston and New York have each hired special trains to take members and guests to the game. Both trains were completely sold out by last Monday.

In Pittsburgh, the Harvard-Yale-Princeton Club will hold a television party. The Boston Harvard Club has planned a special Yale Game Buffet for 11:30 a.m. after which members will watch the game on the Club's television set.

There years ago the halftime and final scores were cabled to the Harvard Club of London, but no such plans have been announced this year. Last year, Harvard and Yale men in the West followed news ticker accounts of the game at special joint meetings, but the plan has been abandoned this year

Stay-at-homes may see the game over WBZ-TV in the Union, Winthrop, Lowell, or Adams Houses. The Game will also be broadcast over WHDH.
