NOW FOR The BIG GAME
Footbal Enthusiasts SWarming
in the Metropolis.
YALE REMAINS THE FAVoRITE.

Both Teams Reported to BE ia Firs Glass
Condition Where the Play ers aud Their
Backsrs Are Quartersd- Many People,
II is Believed, VIII Not BE Able to Get
Inside tho Grounds.
New York, Nov. "a -Everything is in
readiness for the great foot ball game on
Manhattan Field this aftern oon
between Yale and Princeton.
The teams are comfortably quartered
in this city, Yale at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel and Princeton at the Murray Hill.
Every seat has been sold and he will be
lucky individual indeed who, not
already having secured a ticket, succeeds
in getting standing room on the grounds
when the game is called.
Great Interest in the Game.
While it is doubtful whether the
matches between the teams of.these two
colleges are as interesting to true footba II
lovers as the games between Harvard and
Yale, it is nevertheless certain that the
Thanksgiving Day game creates a gener al
interest which the Springfield game has
never aroused. The general attendance
far exceeds that at the contest between
the Crimson and Blue, and the reports of
the game are eagerly awaited by thou
sands of persons living in distant places,
to whom the game at Hampden Park is
matter of comparatively little conse-
quence.
Young collegians and graduates are
drawn to the Thanksgiving Day game in
greater numbers than to any other ath-
letic contest of the year. Society, also,
has adopted it as one of its special func-
tions The interest taken in the game
has been yearly increasing.
Noise Already Begun.
A glance at the hotels and theatres
last night showed that the vanguard of
the crowd had already arrived. On
| every khand were seen little groups of
| young men with a knot of blue or of
| black and orange in their buttonholes
! They broke out into spasmodic cheers, es-
pecially when one OF their number had
succeeded in landing bet on his favorite
team. The crowd and the noise, how
ever, were AS nothing when compared
with what will be seen and heard after
the game is finished
Both Teams in Fine Condition.
Both of the teams are in first-class con
dition. The Yale team took their last
practice Tuesday at New Haven. In ad-
dition to the regular team eleven substi-
tutes and coachers Hoppelinger, Camp,
Rhodes, Harvey and McClung came tc
the city.
All the trainers, rubbers down ant
general laclleys also accompany the
team.
The Princeton team is in charge o.
Trainer McMaster3 former Captain Poe
Alexander Moffatt, Tracy Harris, George
Edwards, Sport Donnelly and Warren.
Just at the last moment Capt. Kinl
has decided to make an importan
change in the composition Of his eleven
He, himself, has determined to move VI
to quarter back and put Morse, who ha
formerly passed the ball, back into hi
position.
The change was actuated by the abso
lutte necessity of having Capt King pia
throughout the entire game. His kne
| is still quite weak and there is of cours
less danger of his becoming hurt Will
laying quarter back than while playin
half. Quarter back is also better posi-
ton from which to give the signals
Morse is a very speedy and hard runner
and as he has not been injured during th
season, he Will probably ne able TO pu
up stronger game at half than woul
King
How They Will Line Up.
Capt. Mccormick of the Yale eleve

Saturday at Springfield. The team
