The Yale and Princeton Elevens
Individually Compared.
Col. Appleton. of the Seventh, In a
False Light.

Comparisons Of the men who will play
opposite each other in the Yale-Prince-
ton game at Manhattan Field day after
tomorrow Is now the chief occupation
OF football followers, although results
have shown that Individual excellence
cuts little figure in a teams winning.
Team work Is the thing, and the eleven
that excels in this respect Thanksgiv-
ing Day will doubtless win, as was the
case at Springfield. Still 1t Is great sat-
isfaction for hte well-wishers of one
team to glance over the list of men and
be able to point out where their favor
ties are just as strong as their adver-
saries.
On paper Il looks as II the most in
teresting struggle between Yale and
Princeton would be right at centre. Tay-
tor, Ballet and Wheeler will oppose Nc

no means certain, they should a " a
harder time than the Harvard centre

man more trouble than did Lewis.
Wheeler and Hickok should furnish the
best duel in the line. Taylor is more or
less an unknown quantity. but, according
to reports, he is quick and tricky. Mack

The question that has been asked con-
corning the entries of Seventh Regiment
second Regiment. What does Col. APP
pleton mean by his .refusal?', places the
latter official in a false light. Col. APP
pleton has nothing to do with sanction
Ing or refusing Seventh mems applica-
ton for the Twenty-second's games. In
fact, the rules of the Seventh Regiment
Athletic Association preclude any mem
Der of that organization from competing
in any games of any other regiment.
Here Is the rule:

As the time approaches for the open
ing Of the mounted broadsword tourna-
ment which is to be held at Madison
Square Garden the last three nights Of
this week interest in the affair is rapidly
increasing, All the contestants have now
been drilling themselves n training
their steeds for over a week. and a
glance at the work o gives the i'm
preston that it will be no child's play
to WELD off and parry some of the blows
aimed at opponents when the culminat-
ing point of an actual contest is reached.
Another celebrated Italian swordsman,
Count Rigo Costa Reghini, sought to
enter in the tournament, yesterday, but
the management, in Justice TO the other
men already entered, had to shut him
out.
The demand for seats and boxes for
the opening night has been so large that
the management has decided to begin the
sale tomorrow morning, instead OF
Thursday, as was first intended. This
will give the football enthusiasts who
appear to be intent OH witnessing the
opening bouts, an opportunity of Sc
curing their seats tomorrow instead Of
Thursday. which leaves them the whole
day for the princeton game.
