TO-MORROWs GREAT GAME.
Vanguard Of the College Football
Contingent Arrives in Town.
Ashingcr to Train in Virginia for His
Big Race-Othsr Gossip.

The vanguard OF the college football
contingent has arrived in town. Last
night and this morning students were
not ~infrequent along Broadway, and
every train from Princeton and New
Haven to-day brings more of them.
There Is to be less noise this year than
on previous occasions. Supt. Byrnes says.
students will have to seek other than
vocal methods to give vent to their
feelings. This, OF course. does not re-
fer to Manhattan Field, for a game
without cheering would be like soup
without salt. on the streets, at hotels
and theatres lung exercise must be
curbed.
The students will probably make up for
this by an additional display of their
college colors. The very latest caper in
this regard was brought out by a Yale
man yesterday, who carried a bunch
of blue balloons with a white Y painted
on them.
1t Is estimated that over 5000 people
will be on Manhattan Field tomorrow
afternoon. II there had been room, the
number might nave reached half as
many again, for applications were re-
ceived for $4,000 seats, and a good many
did not apply. knowing there were no
seats to be had. 1t has been the aim OF
the University Athletic Club this year
to keep Yale and Princeton students to-
gether as much as possible: a most
pleasing feature, as those who have seen
the Springfield games know.
The University Athletic Club Com
mittee will visit Manhattan Field this
afternoon to see that everything is in
shape, and whether any. additional i'm
provements can be made for handling the
crowd.
There has been no great betting on the
game as yet. Princeton men were acting
as did Yale men last week. They are
confident, but ask good odds. At the
stock Exchange as good as ? to ! Is said
to have been offered. No such odds are
them is unwise. Yale's victory over
Harvard makes her a slight favorite, as
a matter Of course, but 5 to 4 is %reasona-
BILE enough. The prestige of that victory
Will not deter Princeton one whit. as far
as hard work and determination are con-
cerned. Both teams will be in town to,
night. Princeton at the Murray Hill, and
Yale at the Fifth Avenue.
