CAPTAIN HINKEY.

Yale men, with a sad recollection OF the money
lost those terms ago. refuse TO offer more
than 5 to S. and few takers are found at the
odds. A bet made between two prominent
alumni OF Princeton and Yale OF 500 to SO that
Yale would not score the short end being taken
by the Princeton man. A few bets OF 800 to SIS
on Yale were also made at the Fifth Avenue and
other hotels.
The city Is crowded with football enthusiasts. and
an immense crowd will witness the contest this

numbers. and among those who used to- wear the
jacket who will witness the game to-day are
Jesse riggs Johnston Poe. Edwin Lewis. House
Janeway, Henelfnger. Rhodes. Knapp Knipe. Os-

receive the vast throng which will surge through the
gates Of Manhattan Field this afternoon The ele-
waited roads on the Sixth and Ninth ave. lines will
put trains after IL o'clock. and force OF
400 policemen Will take care Of the crowd at the
grounds.

Both the Yale and Princeton team adopted this
expensive but triumphant line Of march, and two
