Superintendent Ryrncs' declaration rs hc-
Ing an outrage and detrimental to the
interests OF the Eaino. said "a we'll known
Ynlc man:
Ii has never been the intention of tho
colleges TO mako football IA national sport
The game has for years been the princi-
pal field sport in colleges, and until late
ly contests Ctwcen TWO colleges have gen
c:a!ly bcon played on tho grounds OF some
college or university Tho game has
grown into popularity "a rapidly that II
was finally decided uron to give tho ont
side public an opportunity OF witnessing
games hctwccn thu clevcns OF leading col
ieges Tho public has mover 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 whom they and their
friends have been provided for the re-
manning tickets have been placed on sale
for those desiring them.
Mr.. Eyrnes says the public has stamp
ed the game MS being brutal. II the pub
!ic don't want to SEQ the games. they
needn't and in tho future good care will
be taken that the public will not have the
opportunity. 1t Is ridiculous to think
that players will enter into n game for
the purpose of willfully injuring players
on the opposing team. 1t is natural TO
suppose that when - men. / OH n side
and all of them trained athletes, rush Mt
each other at top speed some ono is bound
to be knocked cut for n moment The
gamo Is a rough one. but 1t 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 arc paid. he would be doing n good
thing for the city OF New York.
Princeton Men Entertained.
The Princeton men enjoyed an innova-
ton last night at their hotel Two Jolly
comedians had been secured to keep tho
lads laughing through the evening and
| thus to mitigate the nervous apprehen-
sion Of the night before the battle. At 10
y. III. they retired confident of winning
today. Tho tale mon 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 scat -. 600 people, and IL Is not
known tina: there is a seat left. 4 now
and rather interesting feature IS added to
the game by the announcement by Super
intendent OF Police Byrnes that he will
allow NO brutality, and that II 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 MIR. Byrnes' order to his assistants
| caused and is causing much excitement
among the students. However. tho su-
perintendeHt's threat has had an exceed
| ingly good effect, and that Is to make
those in authority caution the men to re-
frain from anything thst would be even
n semhlancs of the brutality shown at
Springfield.
The betting has been = to In favor of
Yale and the Princeton adherents do not
| seem at all anxious to accept oven these
| terms. Yale men later combined to offer
only oven money. holding that Princeton
should bet even on team that last year
| defeated Yale Princeton has had tho
| advantage OF "a weeks more rest since
| their last big game. and that should put
tham in better trim than their opponents
It Is positively announced today that
Greenway will not PLAY and that Louis
tiinkCy will take his place
