In the history OF the game in this
country there has never been such a
demand for tickets. The committee in
charge of the ticket selling have dis
posed of all they had, and still the ap-
plicntions come pouring in. II is not
likely that the spectators will get hold
OF many. That the game will be close
and exciting is generally prophesied by
those who are good judges, despite the
iact that Princeton had TO lower her
colors TO Pennsylvania.
The bulk OF the Yale men will be on
the south side, and the Princeton shout.
ers will be nearby, east OF the Yale
stand. Large delegations IRON Har-
ward, yarmouth, Williams and Column
bia colleges will be present.
ALL IN READINESS.
The pride OF Yale and Princeton var
sites arc tonight tucked snugly under
the coverlets OF the Fifth Avenue and
Murray Hill hotels respectively, and
Father Knickerbocker is nursing care
fully the bits OF printed pasteboard,
wherewith to feast his eyes upon the
struggle of the morrow.
Everybody knows there is but one
fray on Thanksgiving day-that on the
foot ball field between Yale and Prince
ton 'varslties.
Yale and Princeton have ;played six
teen games OF foot ball together, OF
which Yale has won>0 and Princeton =.
One match, that OF 1877, resulted in
tie.
At their quarters in this city the
athletes are as closely watched and as
carefully cared for as so many pieces OF
sevres ware.
a COMPARISON.
A comparison OF the two teams may
be made as follows: Yale has had to
show her full strength to her rival in
the game with Harvard-of that there
is no doubt, whatever statements may
be made to the contrary. Princeton
must assuredly have gained some ad-
vantage from seeing her opponents play
in closely contested game, but this
advantage is more than Offset by the ex-
perience which the Yale men acquired
at Springfield. This experience was
particularly valuable to Yale, in that
she had several green men on her team,
and the lessons they learned from the
Harvard game make them almost vet
,erans for Thursdays contest Between
the value of watching such game us
that at Springfield and playing in it
there can be no comparison; and ii
Princeton rests her hope in the knowl-
edge Of Yale's play acquired in watch
ing the Harvard game, her chances for
victory are indeed slim.
AS team the Yale men are in as good
condition as can be desired Tho only
weak spot in the entire eleven Is Laurie
Bliss weak knee and this has been in-
proving wonderfully since the Harvard
game. He is likely TO be able TO play
the whole game unless the unexpected
occurs.
cLosE CALI.
Ii Yale wins she will have earned her
victory, for the true indications are that
the game OF 1892 will be no walkover for
the champions.
Before the Yale team returns to New
Haven the question OF u captain for
next year will have been decided.
Az EXPERTS EsrrMATE
Writing OF the merits OF the two teams
to contest tomorrow W. I. Bull, a we'll
known expert says:
resume OF the work Of tho Prince
ton team during the season shows .
greater strength than last year, stronger
not only in defense, but presenting u
more varied style OF aggressive play.
The makeup is also more effective,
With King at half back Princeton is %
per cont stronger buck OF tho line, and
this change from quarter back does not
weaken the plucky Captains usefulness
IN defensive play, because he is such an
active man, and has IN eye quick to do
tect the coming play OF tho opposing
side ON the instant. Then he can
get into every play, although the
position takes him further away from
the line. King leaves n weakness Mt
quarter, yet he makes up for It by his
increased effectiveness back of tho line.
The Princeton rush line is stronger
than last year. Wheeler is unquestion.
ably better guard with his added ex-
pcrience. Ballet is the most effective
center Princeton has had since the
mighty George, and Hall, while he is
not the alI.round player that Jesse
liigg. was, will have a much weaker
man 10 lace than Heilleilngor. The
iackles arc not strong and have been
Prineeton's weak spots for several
