TUESDAY NOV. 16, 1915

Heavy Betting - Reports are that one man is said to have bet $500 in various pool rooms and cigar stores around town on the game. Others have bet $100 or $50 on the game. The odds are even with the "tie game no bet" provision in place. People are betting "freak" bets such as who will or will not be scored upon, will the game end in a tie, or on number of touchdowns scored.
