Negotiations are already under way for a foot
ball game this fall between Harvard and Prince
ton, with the probable outcome that II Harvard
consents the struggle will take place either at
Manhattan Field or at Princeton two weeks
before the Harvard Yale game at Springfield.
While the Princeton team was ut QuoRue last
week James =. Lee, the old Harvard player. was
a visitor there, and after several conferences
with the Princeton men he agreed to zee what
could be done toward arranging a game Ac-
cordngly, Lee had talk with Joseph II. Sears
of the Harvard Advisory Committee and several
confabs with Princeton graduates were held In
this city. The Princeton Graduate Advisory
Committee finally summoned Capt. Trenchard
10 this city and advised him 10 open negoti-
atoms with Capt. Emmons Of the Harvard
eleven. Trenchard then wrote a letter to En-
mons suggesting a conference, to be attended by
Emmons and Harvard graduate and Trench
ard and Princeton graduate. Up to date no
definite reply has been received, but II il under
stood that the Harvard men will shortly send on
their delegates.
II Harvard is willing to play, the Princeton
men will first insist that the game shall take
place at Princeton, but IL the crimson players

agree 10 meet them on Manhattan Field, neu-
trail ground. As already published in The suS,

NEW HAVEN. Sept. 20.-There seems TO be moth

with Princeton at New York. Capt Hinkey was
found at the New Haven House, where he and
the Yale football players are stopping prior to
the opening Of college. He was asked II any ar
rangements had been made for the Princeton
game, and, in reply said:
III have not seen Princeton man in three
months I will neither confirm nor deny the
rumor that we will not play Princeton on
Thanksgiving Day In New York"
When pressed, Hfnkey admitted that the
game came very close on the Harvard game at
Springfield, and intimAted that Yale would
make an effort to have IL played on some other
date. 1t Is the general opinion of the alumni
here that the game should be played either be-
fore or some time after the Harvard game The
collegiate Football Association 10 be held Oct 8.
