ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPATcH.l
NEW YORK, Oct 27.-There is great un-
easiness felt at Princeton over the possible
return of Hefelfnger to Yale College in
time for the big game with Princeton.
sit would be just like Yale to set him in
the line a day or two before the game.
Hefel6nger is in training with the Chicago
team and could get into his old position in
a ajiffy. The only thing we could do to off.
set such an emergency would be to get Jesse
Riggs back again." said one of the Prince
ton team.
Jesse remarked while here recently that
he only quit Princeton College because Hef-
felfnger left Yale. I have no doubt that
we could get him back again in a hurry if
Heff was to jump into the Yale line"
So far the Princeton men have made every
endeavor to induce Riggs to enter college
and take his old place on the team, but
without avail If Hefelfnger joins Yale,
as the Princeton men suspect, there is very
little doubt that Jesse will again jump into
a canvas Jacket for Princeton.
May Face ach Other Again.
In case these two great guards meet on
the field again the battle between them will
be worth going hundred leagues to see.
They have tussled wear after year for the
mastery, and while Heffelfnger is faster
sprlnter than Riggs and possibly better
ground gamer, Riggs has held him down
better than any man who has ever faced
him
There is some ground for the uncertain
feeling in Princeton with regard to Heffel-
finger. The ex-Yale guard came East with
the Chicago team last week, and by this
time all the eloquence of Yale is being
brought to bear upon him. Every induce
ment will be offered him, just as the Prince
ton men have offered all inducements to
Riggs Then again, Yale is always spring
ing something in the way of a surprise on
their opponents If they can catch Riggs
out of condition it would be just what they
would desire. Heffelfnger can play horse
with the ordinary run of guards If he can
Withstand the Establishments of the Yale
men he will prove a wonder. OF one thing
the football public may rest assured: If
Hefelhnger plays with Yale Riggs will
join Princeton.
Biames 1t All on Princeton.
Prof Ames attributes all of Harvard's |
football tribulations with Princeton to the |
press. Then the able arbiter of Harvard's |
football destinies goes on to say that Har- |
ward viii not JOIN multiple league and that |
Harvard will not plar Princeton unless they |
can play on Thanksgiving. Then, again, |
according to Prof Ames, Harvard is, afraid |
of being "scandalized" it she plays too often |
in New York.
The Thanksgiving Dcy game between
Yale and Princeton is fixture, yet Prot.
Ames would have Princeton throw it over
for the sake OF playing with Harvard. The
princeton football men when seen by'a
eporter yesterday would say nothing
more than they would like to arrange a
game with Harvard on any day but Thanks
giving Day.
Chow would November 10 suit them?"
suggested student with yellow and black
cap. They play Yale on that day, but
little thing like that should not bother
them. They can throw Yale over quite
as easily as we can."
The best of good feeling prevails toward
and in the opinion of many of the
students the breach will be healed in time
for game next season.
"They merely have different method of
doing things over there" said one of the
students. "We will play football with any
college on earth at any possible time outside
Of Thanksgiving Day."
