Yale Crushingly Defeating Prince
toms Eleven.
ELLIS MEN ALREADY HAVE SCORED IS
Seventeen Thousand Persons on
Manhattan Field.
NO TROUBLE WITH POLICE

Princeton must contest for foot ball honors
upon a muddy field and beneath moist
skies. The day Is cloudy, foggy and alto
gether disagreeable. Princeton Is regarded
as the better mud team, while Yale, ac-
customed to grounds of a sandy nature,
will be at disadvantage.
The ostentation of college colors was less
marked today than upon like occasions in
past years. The college partisans were
famboyant as ever.
The incoming witnesses of the contest in
the main made directly for the grounds
at 155th street and Sth avenue, while the
college partsans drifted to the quarters
of their champions to cheer and yell and
pass on.
Princeton Wanted Odds.
The betting was spiritiess. The Prince
ton men felt that their team had a chance
of winning in about the proportion of .
to 4, and were willing to hazard at those
odds. Yale. on the other hand, urged that
Princeton should bet even money, holding
that Princeton has nearly the same team
today as the one that defeated Yale last
year. Princeton, however, pointed to the
fact that in the eighteen years during
which Yale and Princeton have played
Yale had won fourteen times and Prince
ton only four, and that, therefore, Yale
SnOulu give OUUS III the DetllnS.
Princeton practically decided that 1t
would be policy to frequently strengthen
It's team by putting in substitutes. 1t Is
argued that the fresh men could batter at
Yale's line with good effect after that line
had become tired. Old foot ball men shook
their heads and said 1t was bad policy. and
that the regular men, even II a trifle tired,
could play better together.
At Yale Headquarters.
For the first time In good many weeks
the Yale team were allowed to sleep as
long as they chose, and 1T was $50 before
the last Of them had made his appearance
at the breakfast table. All were apparently
In prime condition, and they breakfasted
with keen appetites. The meal consisted of
grapes oatmeal, chops, eggs, stewed po-
tatoes and toast, ell washed down with oat
meal water. 1t was very quiet at the
Plaza, and the Yale men had nothing to do
except lounge around and receive visits
from their college friends.
Capt. Hinkey was continually in consul
tation with the Yale coaches, and the great
captain wore an anxious look on his face
most of the time. Louis Hinkey, who looks
little more than a slip of a boy, walked
about with that lounging gait which is
like his famous brothers.
Jerrems acted as if his side had not fully
recovered from the bad wrench; Murphy
was in perfect physical condition and in
fact there was not a scratch upon him.
Adee looked bright-eyed and happy, and
the sorrel-headed Thorne was apparently
as strong and vicious as a young stallion.
Butterworth's right eye was slightly in
mourning, but otherwise he appeared to
be in good shape. McCrea and Hickok
were evidently down as fine as they could
get without being overturned.
OF the substitutes Chadwick, Lyton, Nor
ris, Cross Bass and Mills were all in prime
shape. Shortly after u I'clock they par
took of light luncheon, and at 1880 Capt.
Hinkey gave the word to dress BY

went to the elevated station at 59th street,
where a special train was waiting to con-
vey them to the grounds.
At Princeton's Quarters.
The Princeton eleven arose at o'clock.
after a refreshing sleep of nine hours.
Trainer McMasters desired to divert the
attention of the men from the coming
struggle and planned a private theatrical
performance at the Murray Hill Hotel. frd
1t was hugely enjoyed The team and SUBJ
stitutes partook of a hearty breakfast, and.
after rubbing down, rehearsed signals.
At IL 40 lunch was served, consisting CT
roast chicken, tea and toast, after which
the coaches gave their last directions.
A feeling of confidence prevailed at the
Princeton headquarters, which the poor
showing made In the Trenton game hard
ly warranted. The men were in better con-
dition than when they lined up against

one high in authority this morning said
that the team was in every respect the
equal of that which lined up against Old
Eli on Thanksgiving last year.
The interference has greatly developed
since the disaster at Trenton, and now
bears striking sembance to that of the
championship team. Numerous tricks have
been practiced behind the fence, directed
by Phil King and Coach Fine.
With the exception of Cochran Brown
and Rosengarten the men are in the best
condition. Princeton is fortunate in hav-
ing an able corps of substitutes, which
can be relied upon to fill vacancies without
materially weakening the team.
Brown resumed play only this week, and
cannot be relied on to finish the game.

take his place.
rugged out in their foot ball armor, took
special train on the elevated, and went to
the field.
At the Grounds.
At 12:3O pm. there began a slow fall of
rain on the grounds. The drops came
straight down as a plummet, and had
sharp emphasis that indicated that sleet
might easily follow.
Half an hour before the game began the
gates at Manhattan field were thrown
open, and a few hundred then waiting were
admitted. Soon after the opening of the
gates a Princeton-decked tally-to coach
rolled upon the grounds.
Soon came two others. but they We're
