The members of the Yale football team
left yesterday afternoon for New York,
where the great battle for the champion
ship between the 'tblue'' and orange and
black will be fought to-day. The general
impression is that, though Yale will win,
it will only be after desperate struggle.
Nearly all of the weak points displayed in
Yale's playing last Saturday at Springfield
have been remedied and the team is in ex-
cellent shape for the contest to-day. Hol-
comb will not probably be able to play, q
loss which will be greatly felt by the Yale
team, as Lewis is as was proven at Spring
field, by no means an ideal center. Of all
the eleven the defeat by Harvard is felt
most keenly by Captain Rhodes, and he is
determined to retrieve the loss, to
a certain extent if possible, by de-
| feating Princeton to-day. No captain
has worked harder to put strong team into
| the field and no man has ever succeeded
| in developing better team out of poorer
material than this same plucky Yale rush
i er this reason The interest in the game
tomorrow is almost at fever heat in
| Princeton. The students of the New Jer-
sey college have, to certain extent, got
over their Encouragement of earlier in the
season, as to it's result, and are considera-
BILE more confident, if not of winning, at
least of being able to keep down Yale'a
score. It is allowed by the Princeton men
that Yale has a good rush line, but
they are claiming that their backs excel
those of Yale, and, therefore, these points
van tage. It is quite probable that he will
give Yale a kicking game and an opportu.
nifty to tumble punts The Princeton
eleven left yesterday at noon, taking with
them eleven substitutes. The arrange
ments at Eastern park have been com
pleted and are as nearly perfect as they
can be made. Profting by the mistakescO1
former years, the committee in charge,
consisting Of John Wallace, George Chaun,
cey and E. F. Linton, has made prepare
tons for the handling of large crowd sc
ton Of traffic should occur, even if az
many as 81, 900 people attend the game
At Eastern park the arrangements are ex
cellent. Extra ticket windows and gates
provided, and the people will be passed
into the grounds as fast as they car
arrive. Once inside, holders of grand stand
tickets will proceed directly to the entrances
where at least fifty of the collegians, who
have volunteered to act as ushers, will b.
on hand to show everyone to his sea-
promptly. The system of numbering tn
seats is as perfect as that in vogue at an,
theater. Positively none but holders o
seat coupons will be allowed to enter tn
grand stand. This will prevent the crowd
ing usually noticeable OF the Thanksgivin
day games, caused by selling more ticket
to the stand than the seating capacity wa,
ranted.
On the four open stands or ''bleacheries
there will be room for $4,000 people
These seats, while being made of WOO
with the soft side up, are comfortable an
strongly made. They will not be reserve
and the purchasers of admission ticket
will have wide scope to choose from. Tn
gates will be opened at II o'clock, so as
give ample time to get there early. MOI
ushers will be in attendance in the ope
stands to help seat the people.
The teams will probably line up in tt
following order:
