The Yale Bowl holds about 70,000. It looks empty because there were "only" about 44,000 spectators there that day.

The Yale Hotel in Trochu, Alberta.
This hotel is owned by a local family and is over 100 years old. Obviously missing an old sign or two out front of the building, but these small Alberta towns always provide the gem of an old hotel.
Not much history other than the above on the interwebs...but here's some info on Trochu the town: Trochu is a town in central Alberta, Canada. It is located 15 km (9.3 mi) north of Three Hills at the junction of Highway 21 and Highway 585, in Kneehill County.
The town is named for Armand Trochu, the settler who founded the St. Anne Ranch Trading Company on the present site of the town in 1903.

St Giles' Church, Wrexham
"Just west of the tower is the grave of Elihu Yale, after whom Yale University in the USA is named, with its long, fanciful epitaph containing the following lines:
Born in America, in Europe bred,
In Africa travell'd, and in Asia wed,
Where long he lov'd and thriv'd;
At London dead."

SS Yale, a 3,731 gross ton coastal passenger steamship, was built by the Delaware River Iron Shipbuilding and Engine Works in 1906, for service between New York and Boston. In March 1918 the U.S. Navy acquired her from the Pacific Steamship Company of Seattle, Washington, placing her in commission later in that month as USS Yale (ID-1672).
USS Yale served between March 1918 and September 1919. During World War I, the ship made 31 round-trip voyages transporting troops between Britain and France. Yale was decommissioned in early September 1919 and, in June 1920, sold for commercial operation along the Pacific Coast between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
World War II
After 15 years of fast passenger service along the West Coast, Yale was laid up in 1935; in 1940 the national emergency resulting from the outbreak of World War II in Europe brought her back into use. She was used this time as a dormitory ship in Alaskan waters. The United States Navy again acquired her in April 1943 and in August she was commissioned as USS Greyhound (IX-106) on 8 August 1943 with Lieutenant Commander W. N. VanDenburgh in command. She was the third ship of the United States Navy to be named for the greyhound, a breed of tall, slender, swift hound with a narrow pointed head.
After brief service Greyhound decommissioned on 31 March 1944, and began duty as a floating barracks for personnel at various Puget Sound training schools. She was placed out of service on 9 March 1948 and her name was struck 18 June 1948. She was turned over to the Maritime Commission 12 November 1948 and placed with the National Defense Reserve Fleet at Olympia, Washington until 5 June 1949 when she was sold for scrapping. She departed Olympia on 13 July 1949, towed by the Red Stack tug Hercules, bound for the Walter W. Johnson Company scrap yard at Stockton, California, where she was due to arrive 18 July. The salvaged steel was to go to the Columbia mill at Pittsburg, California.[2]
