NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Football people
are full of gossip about the coming
Yale-Princeton match, and there are
nearly as many predictions OF the out
come of the THANKSGIVING day game as
there are mosquitoes in Jersey. From
as far west as Kansas City, and as far
east as Calias, Me-, there have already
come to this city lovers of the game who
Intend to see the struggle on Manhattan
field. They are veritable enthusiasts,
who journey SO long distance, but it is
almost an assured actthat grand con-
test will reward them for their trouble.
Granted that Thursday is fine day.
Manhattan field will overflow with
a throng such as never invaded it be-
fore. But it will be an uncommOnly
well dressed crowd, and it will be decor
Gus TO nicely in its demonstrations of
appreciation for good and clever plays.
The committee in charge of the sale of
admission and grand-stand tickets are
now able to form some estimate of the
number of persons who will attend the
game, and they predict that the crowd
will be larger than that of any previous
year.
Only Inferior Seats Left.
The seats in the other covered stands
on the south size of the field are also
gone, so that the only stands on which
seats can now be procured are those at
either end OF the fe d. AS they COM
mand a some what inferior view of the
game, these seats have always been the
slowest to sell. but fully hundred
more had been disposed of up to today
than at the corresponding time last
year. Out OF total of $4,000 seats
more than $4,000 have been taken.
Hundreds of persons, the committee
says, have already been turned away
disappointed. The universal desire to
see the game, however, is best shown
by the sale OF the admission tickets.
There is standing room in Manhattan
field for about $1,000 persons, and III
former years the majority Of those WHO
bought admission tickets nave done so
on their way to the game. This year,
however. more than half of the admiS
sion tickets have already been sold.
The betting ON The game has now be-
come lively. The Yale men are es-
peCially anxious TO avail! themselves of
any suitable offers, for, although Yale
won the game from Harvard, they lost
Netting ON the Score
of the Springfield game than on its re-
suit. Many Of Yale'S supporters who
won money on the result of the game
really lost more than they won because
Yale failed to score more than SIX points.
They are now anxious to make up their
losses, and the lowering of the odds on
the Yale-PTincetOn game, due to the
somewhat poor showing made by Yale
at Springfield. has given them fair
opportunity. Several small Wagers at
odds Of 5 TO or ) to 3 on Yale have al
ready been made between the under
graduates, and a pool OF nearly $1,000
will be sent down from New Haven |
tomorrow to be placed at best ODDS OBJ |
tainable. There also has been consider
able betting among the graduates i'll |
this city. One prominent Yale gradu- |
ate has bet $1,000 TO 500 that Yale will |
win by least ten points. A number OF !
other bets, ranging between S25 and $500
have also been made, while countless
private Wagers have been made on the
result of the game.
DeSpite'the talk about McCOrmick'S
coOlheadedness, he really became very
much ratified at various criSiSeS OF the
contest at Springfield, and ii the spec
tatOrs had watched him closely they
would have seen him

the graduate coaches made with their
hands.
The Yale eleven will probably line up
just as they did at Springfield, Laurie
Bliss and ButterwOrth being all right.
Graves may take Pop" Bliss place, a,
but this is not surety. Princeton's
team will probably line up i'll this order: |
Randolph, left end; Lea, left tackle; |
Wheeler, left guard; Ballet, center; |
Hall, right guard; Harold, right tackle;
back: Poe, left half back: Morse, right |
half back; Ilomans, full back; suDsti- |
tutes. Flint, Fiscus. McCauley.
The Princeton team took its last
practice this afternoon. Most of the
evening was spent TehearSing the sig
nails and the tricks that will be used If
possible. Tomorrow little or no work
will be done, as the men need rest 1t
is not settled vet whether the team will
leave for New York Wednesday night
or Thursday morning, but it is most
probable they will remain at Princeton
until the morning of the game, and take |

Fn GOOd Shape.
Today Jack McMasters. the trainer,
said: 1.-The men are in the best posi-
bic shape, so far as training could make
them. Two or three of them are not
fully recovered from injuries, but that's
something over which | have little
control. Sprains and broken bones
require time. However, can say my
boys will make gallant fight and, if
they must die, they will die like Spar
tans. There'll be no surrender. Every |
man will do his duty. They will all go |
in to win. and win they will if pluck |
and brains and muscle can do it. | am !
satisfied that they will give good ac-
count of themselves"
A coacher, who desired that his name |
should not be used, said: The eleven |
are putting up strong game. 1t is 80 |
per cent better than it was eight days |
ago. We sol pretty good ideaOf Yale's |
game and will spare no effort to defeat
the blue on Thursday. Phil King has
several good tricks If he can get an OPP
pOrtunity to put them into execution.
The only things we have to regret are
that our tackles and one of our ends are
rather weak Two or three of the men
have not played for two weeks. Had
we all the men for Thursdays game
we started out with in the early part of
the season nothing could prevent us
winning the game"
1t was later decided that Princeton
eleven and substitutes will leave for
New York tomorrow evening on the
$40 o'clock train. They Will stay
