| NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Everything Is in
readiness for the big football battle. Early
this evening Yale's bruised and battered
regiment arrived at the Fifth avenue hotel,
and at once concealed themselves on the
| upper floors. Some of them wore rags
| around their heads, and others wore black
eyes. Both were considered honorable in
sigma of football warfare. Quite imposing
the Yale men looked as they walked into
the hotel, fifty strong.
A great crowd of Yalensians had arriv-
ed during the afternoon, and were to be
seen up and down Broadway, sporting blue
badges and carrying blue flags. They all
vented to bet, too, but they could find
very few people willing to risk their money
on the tigers at evens.
The practice of the Princeton team to-
day consisted of light work in kicking,
catching by the backs and drill in signals
They arrived in Jersey City shortly after
8 o'clock and proceeded to the Murray Hill
hotel, where they will remain until noon
tomorrow, when they will go to hotel in
Harlem where they will dress for the bat
tie with Yale. Hundreds of Princeton
men arrived with the team, and over five
hundred more will arrive this morning on
football special. There were not q ute
80 many of the Princeton men as in the
army that represented Yale, but they were
just as confident in their opinions and just
as ready to argue upon football philosophy
as their rivals. The orange and black of
Princeton flashed everywhere.
Neither Captain Mccormick nor Captain
King won1d talk about the coming struggle
other than to say that they would do their
best to win and to disclaim all intention of
playing slugging game. There was not
much betting done. The Princeton men,
as general thing. held out for long odds.
1t was learned during the evening that 81
900 had been sent to Princeton with in
etructions to place it on the Yale team at
odds of to 1. Very little of the big roll
was taken at these figures. 1t was curious
to watch the Princeton men 60 to the
Fifth Avenue hotel and sfeel out"
the Yale men on the betting aues-
ton. They were not willing to bet on
the result, but were ready enough to bet
on the score. A favorite wager was that
Yale would not score over twenty-four
points. Max Farrand, last years president
of the Princeton team, said: "Our team is
weak in the tacklers and 1 do not ses how
they can prevent Wallis and Winter from
breaking through at their pleasure. If
they do hold the Yale men back it will be
a pleasant surprise"
A dozen or more Yale men visited the
Murray Hill hotel looking for bets, but
Princeton money was scarce. A little Yale
girl appeared in the lobby of the Fifth Ave-
nue. hotel during the evening with a big
bundle of money to bet on the New Haven
| A Princeton man accepted her offer to bet
| $500 at odds of four to one.
Walter Cash, one of Princeton's chief
coaches, expressed his abiding faith in the
| tigers ability to score.
AS the evening progressed the mob in
the hotel lobbies grew more dense. But
not player on either team was to be seen
| after 10 o'clock. The shop windows along
Broadway and the shopping streets blazed
| with the college colors, and everybody
wore bit of blue or scrap of yellow.
| The grounds are in fine condition for the
| struggle. The turf is dry and springy and
| the stands are as clean as a new pin. The
| stand just to the west of the main grand
stand has been entirely given over to Yale
| howlers. Princeton will do their cheering
| in the grand stand. The northern stand
| will be about equally divided between the
two colleges. The grounds will seat about
| 16, 900 persons and it is safe to say that
every seat will be occupied Complaint is
made that almost every good seat, outside
of those possessed by the members of the
University club and their immediate
| friends, are in the hands of peculators.
The Yale and Princeton football teams
| meet tomorrow under conditions which
have no precedent in the history of these
| annual matches Hitherto, with two ex-
| ceptions, each team has been up to Thanks
| giving day an undefeated one, and these
exceptions were both ocoasioned by Har
ward victory.
This year Princeton has been defeated
by the University of Pennsylvania, which,
| previous to the coming season, has not
been seriously considered in the struggle
| for the championship; and Yale reaches
Thanksgiving day for the second year in
succession without a point having been
scored against her by any of her rivals.
Probably never before has Yale been so
confident of victory or Princeton 80 dis
pairing.
Two special cars from Boston were side
tracked at the Polk street depot during the
day The parlor car contained eleven
members of the Boston football team, three
tsubstitutes and Manager Harry Cornish.
The dining car contained the wherewithal
to sustain these athletes during their stay
in Chicago.
For an hour the team INDUCED in light
practice under the roof of the depot. Prac
tice did not amount to much more than
signal work under the direction of Captain
Waters, but it kept the men busy and filled
their lungs with plenty of raw Chicago air
Harry Cornish is smilingly confident about
the result tomorrow and declares that hi
men are in first class condition. "We hat
a quick and pleasant trip from Boston" h
said. 1t is the longest trip that any team
