| New.Haven, Conn., Nov. o5 (specaD.-The famous
Yale eleven left here for NewYork this afternoon
fully expecting to defeat Princeton. Every man was
! mil n confidence stagg. wurtemburg, Bull and
Rhodes coached the eleven at the last pracc' OF inc
season at the field this morning. 1t was sharp 'nu
thoroughly satisfactory. saturdays game with Har-
ward did not give Yale a chance to exhibit all tho
tricks which she has mastered in private pracuce a.
Princeton will discover to morrow. Much dissausiac-
ton has been expressed at the way IN whlch saho'u
played centre on saturday. His ofsde wo:K anu
holding cost Yale fifteen yards during the game suii-
man was placed mt centre rush In practice yesterday
and his chances playing that place tomorrow are
| good Captain McClung would not say to-day what
players would be selected. An unpleasant feature Oh

team met I'm Alumni Hall and listened to counsel from

lie accurately described all the characteristics VI
| Princeton,s eleven with much care rstructng each
Vale man how to handle each Princetonan. RIGGS,
Of Princeton will find that big Hefelhnger, OF iale,
will handl, him much more scientifically thah nc uu
| last year. Hefefnger was too much Tor RIGGS iMast last
wear and Mr. Camp is certain that the latter Will
| fare still worse this year.
! PRINCETON men and backcrs of Yale may be assured
| that Yale will play an entirely different game iioni
| that which won at Springfield. Yale had studieu
Harvard rs closely as she has studied Princeton ana
| played accordingly In the game tomorrow % aii'
erent code Of signals will be used and new manage
ment will be made. The Yale men have spent many
hours in getting out some fine points in secret within
| the walls of the gymnasium
Mr. Camp said that 1t was the hope of Princeton
to prevent Yae's scoring in the first twenty minutes
OF the game hoping by acting the defensive to gain
n position which would permit them to force the
fighting for the rest Of the game. Yale proposes 10
force the fighting from the beginning Four different
plans OF attack will be followed. A more perfectly
planned game from Yale point Of view was never
| mapped out.
still there are weak points In Yale's eleven. Wallis
is suffering still from spraincd ankle and ought not
to attempt to play at rlghttacke. lie cannot well
be spared for the substitute Is not his equal, and
he is going to paly long possible. Rightguad and
centre are at present the weak points in faes eleven
None of Yale's backs match for Homan In Kick
Ing. but Bliss is better allround player and he will
| try some good tricks. Mccormick and McChing at
right halfbac and full back Will be found superior to
prncetoIrs PLAYERS in similar positions. McClung has
made specal preparation for the contest with his New
Jersey opponents. and probably Tie rcoiders OF inc
by some OF the most brilliant and dincut feats ever
yItnesscd on n football field He WILL IL Is said, make
several new and puZZng moves on the Held.
Men OF Yale feel perfect confidence In the ability OF
their 10 win the game and they are bettins Freely
| on the result They cannot set even bet, here and
they offer odds. -
| There is considerable speculation among the stu
| denis regarding the selection OF the captain OF the
eleven for next scason. The annual election Will be
held at New-York on Thursday night after the gamc
| with PRINCETON Wallis Winter Mccormick, l.. Bliss
and C. Bss viii be seniors next year and the choice
| will probably be made from these men. Barbour Is
contemplating returning for postgraduate course next
YEAR and IL he decides to do so he stands good chance
OF an election Bliss Is generally conceded to be tho
| most available candidate.
