SCENES At MANHATTAN FIELD.
At Manhattan Field even at II O'Clock that
fine stretch of emeraldesque beauty was peo-
pied by thoroughly infuriated throng of real.
dyed-in-the-wool enthusiasts on foot ball
Horns were shriekng out their blatant bares
of discordancy and it was Babel sure enough.
In fact il could best be described as a ''pande-
monium Of vocal pyrotechnics" and each
''rooter" for Yale and Princeton was almost
fracturing his palate in his endeavor 10 send his
favorite along in the din.
The scene was variegated one. One could
see nothing but streaks of orange and black and
the blue of Yale. The zebra-strlped contingent
showed its lung strength with continued bowls.
Tally-hos profusely adorned with streamers Of
indigo hue and others with the somber black
and orange rolled into the grounds, each car
rying a load of exuberant collegIans.
Talk about making Rome how'll why. the
good old days when the noblest Roman of them
all made the welkin ring on the field of Olympia
was not q marker to this day that witnessed
New Haven face Princeton.
The early mob had rattles. bass drums and
torpedoes. contingent from Ithaca declared

This surprised the knowing ones somewhat.
but then Princeton refused to play Cornell a
couple of weeks ago. The Princeton rooters
met these howls with double-barreled tym-
panium DESTROYING yell: Princeton, Princeton,
siss-boom-ah-tiger,"
Then from the Yale end of the field arose the
bleat, ''Rah, 'rah. 'rah, Yaler'
Everybody was happy and on all sides one
heard the cry: What an elegant day for the
gamer'
This was absolutely true The weather was
fine.
Groups Of college boys were marching up
and down, flags in hand, breaking great big
yawning holes in this crisp, azure ambient.
And vet the fun had not half begun. A
great many Of the boys had provided them
selves with antidotes for pneumonia in the
shape Of hip-pocket blackjack. Already there
were these coaches on the grounds: 94s Shelf
field scientific school, 95's Sheffield and 95s
academic school, all roofing for Yale.
5000 PRESENT AT l O'CLOCK.
New York Princeton men of the class of 'ss
were also in a coach and there was a Yale coach
from the Union League Club. At O'Clock
there were fully Is 900 persons on the field As
to the game itself and its outcome of il nothing
was heard but Yale winning. That seemed to be
granted on every side and most of the talk was
confined to about how many points the good
old blues would make and how few the Tigers
would put up, il they were able TO mark up a
single point. And right on that score some of
the strongest supporters of the Tigers shut an
eye and said: You will be surprised L m think
ing, before the muss is all over"
Princetonians actually thought their bows
would score and they wouldn't hear to the con-
trary. A few bets were made on the field at
s40 to $50 that the Tigers would not be goose
egged.
A CHILLY WIND.
The day was perfect one for boot ball, with
one exception-the wind. The grounds are
bright with sunlight. and the rather cool at
mosphere as a consequence is warmed. The
