superintendent Byrnes declaration as ho-
ing an outrage and detrimental to tha
interests Of the game. Said a we'll known
Yale man;
1T has mover been tho intention of tho
colleges TO make football anationnl sport
The game has for years been the princi-
pal field sport in colleges, and until late
ly contests between two colleges have gem
orally been played on the grounds OF some
college or university. Tho game has
grown into popularity so rapidly that it
was finally decided upon to give the out
side public an opportunity Of witnessing
games between the elevens Of leading col
leges The public has never been catered
TO, however, as the distribution Of tickets
this season plainly shows. The students
OF the colleges have had first call on the
choice seats, and when they and their
friends have been provided for the re-
naming tickets have been placed on sale
for those desiring them.
"Mr. Byrnes says the public has stamp
cd the game as being brutal. II the pub
Ito don't want to sec the games, they
needn't and in the future good care will
DO taken that the public Will not have the
opportunity. 1t is ridiculous to think
that players will enter into q game for
the purpose OF willfully injurinR players
on the opposing team. 1t is natural TO
suppose that whom 22 men, IL on a side
and all OF them trained athletes, rush at
each other at top speed some one is bound
20 be knocked out for moment. The
game Is a rough one but II Is not brutal.
II Superintendent Byrnes will turn his at
tention In another direction and instruct
his men to perform tho duties for which
they are paid, he would be doing a good
thing for the city Of New York. "
Princeton Men Entertained.
The Princeton mon enjoyed an innova-
tion last night at their hotel Two Jolly
comedians had been secured to keep the
lads laughing through the evening and
thus TO mitigate the nervous apprehen-
sion Of the night before the battle At 10
p. m. they retired confident of winning
today The Yale men have this year
changed their hotel and slept up near the
park. Captain Hinkey said this morning
that his men were strong and hopeful. He
would say nothing about playing Penn
sylvania
At the grounds everything is in readi-
ness to seat II, 600 people, and it is not
known that there is a seat left. A new
and rather interesting feature Is added to
the game by the announcement by Super
1 AAA1AAohb VI L9Anuo tnhp hu WILL
allow no brutality, and that If any is
shown the game will be stopped. Never
before have the police made any attempt
or any threat of this kind, and natural
ly Mr.. Byrnes' order to his assistants
caused and is causing much excitement
among the students. However. the su-
perintendsnts threat has had an exceed
ingly good effect, and that is to make
those in authority caution the men to re-
frain from anything that would be even
a semblance Of the brutality shown at
| Springfield.
The betting has been to in favor of
Yale, and the Princeton adherentsido not
seem at all anxious to accept even these
terms. Yale men later combined to offer
only even money, holding that Princeton
should bet even on team that last year
defeated Yale. Princeton has had the
advantage Of weeks more rest since
their last big game, and that should put
them in better trim than their opponents
1t is positively announced today that
Greenway will not play and that Louis
Hinkey will take his place
