NEW WORK. oct. i3.-Yaie's action In

adverse comment among loJal Iuot t "a

ers OF the blue will not increase their pop

who pay good money every year 70 see
the biz. game. To an unpreJudiced o pseI
yer IL looks very much as Capt"at
Hinkey was afraid OF suffering deteat d,
the hands OF the Tigers. HIS arSuHent
that his team cannot play two games
with five days Intervening dosent carry
much weight. inasmuch for ioaf te go
years Yale has played both Harvard anu
Princeton with short interval between
the games. and has won both events
ten years out of the fourteen.
Princeton's position Is sportsmanllakte,
but many people believe that Captain
Trenchard should inform Yale that unless
the game is played on THANKSGIVING Day
it win not be played at all. In 1880 when
Harvard beat Yale at Springfield, ana
five days later Yale beat Princeton at
Manhattan Field, there was no such ar
gument offered as this latest one OF HIN
keys II Princeton were In fales posi-,
ton to-day the New Haven men would
not grant any such concessions as the
Tigers are willing to consent TO, but
would pat the screws on for al they were
worth. The fact that Pennsylvania scor-
Haven collegians ignore the Quakers TINS
year. and the defeat administered by
Princeton has caused Yale TO show the
white feather. In other words Yale is
afraid Of Princeton and IS not willing 10
take a chance of defeat by playing ac-
cording 10 custom. Princeton men are
game and take defeat without squealing,
but such is evidently not the case with
Hinkey & Co.
There is a chance OF the Princeton
PENNSYLVANIA game being played in this
city after all. John 6. Bell OF the Uni
versity OF PENNSYLVANIA sent word here
yesterday that his eieYen did not want
10 play Princeton at Trenton, and that
no agreement between the two colleges
had been signed for CRIME IN that city,
Mr.. Bell said that Pennsylvania wanted
10 play In New York on account OF the
big gate receipts and the recognition re-
ceived from the New York papers. lie
said that If his team was willing To jour
ney ninety miles TO play, Princeton ought
to be willing TO travel forty. The Prince
men say that their faculty will not allow
them to play Pennsylvania in this city.
but IL is believed that the faculty can be
induced 10 reconsider the matter.
