GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

1t is safe to say that there never was az
much local interest in football contest as
there is in the game which takes place to-
day at Manhattan field, New York, between
the Yale and Princeton teams The time
was when the interest in the annual contest
between these two teams was almost con-
fined to ex-students of the two universities,
but now everybody who takes an interest
in sporting events at all are more or less In
terested in the contest to-day. This is
shown by the increased number OF Pitts
burgers who have gone to New York to
witness the game and also the vast amount
of betting there has been here on the result
Of the game.
Among the Pittsburgers who have gone
to see the game are The following:
Pittsburgers Who Are There.
Harry Darlington, John Moorhead, Will
lam Frew, George Hamilton, James Park,
John Ricketson, Major McCandless, o. D.
Thompson, Theodore Hostetter, Edwin
Schoen and wives, Mrs. David Stewart, son
and daughter, Mrs Thomas Carnegie, Mr..
and Mrs Joseph Dilworth, Henry Sproul
and W. R. Sewell, Mrs Joshua Rhoades
and daughters, Mrs Ross johnson, Andrew,
Frank aud Maud Carnegie, John McKen-
nan, George Shaw, Harry McCandless, Mrs
Alexander Laughlin and daughters OF
course this list is not one-thIrd of the num-
Der who have gone from here to watch to-
dav's contest In a word there is just as
much Pittsburg excitement concerning the
game as there has been about any sporting
event of recent time.
The betting is still lively, and there were
numerous bets made in the city last even
ing on the result of the game. The Yales
were the tavorites at 6 to 4, and in some
instances as much as to was wagered.
Nobody among Yale admirers could be
found to bet as much as 2 to on the blue.
Almost twice these odds could have been
obtained here before Harvard kept Yale
down to points last SATURDAY.. The result
OF tha: game completely revolutionized the
betting, not only here, but all over the
country. Several bets have been made here
on the score, the favorite end in this con-
nection being that the Tigers will not score.
One young man "trom Yale" made bet in
q downtown hotel last evening that Yale
would win by 10 points He would only
make this bet once.
Records of the Teams.
Taking into consideration the number of
games PLAYED between the two teams, the
met l6 times and the Blues have won 8
times, the Tigers 6 and one game was a
