SLw HAyES. Oct. 10.-The matter Of select
ing the day for the annual Yale Princeton foot
ball match has been left with Princeton. Yale
has notihed that college that no game on
Thanksgiving Day or Dec. can take place, as
either Of those dates would be too close TO
the Yale. Harvard game at Springfield, but
Princeton has received power to make
the final decision for the date. which
Yale has suggested be Dec. 8. Yale sd-
mits that this is an unfortunate date,
sst brings the great game too late in the sea-
con. but as she 10 bound 10 play Harvard on Nov.
-. by the four years agreement, II will not be
possible 10 meet Princeton before Dec. 8. Tn
less Princeton accepts as her manager has de-
olsrcd he will not do, there will be no Yale
Princeton match this year. 1t all rests with
Princeton 70 state whether there will be one or
not There will be no further meeting Of the
intercollegiate Football Association to discuss
ths question. as Yale has informed 1t that an
answer IN Ysle's plan Is all that Is necessary to
= consummation Of the scheme for the game
PRIsCEToS, Oct. l6.-The rumor which
Preached here tonight that Ysle has given Prince.
Con the ultimatum Of playing on Dec. or not at
ellis great surprise to Princeton men. Man
hser Mum said:
management has not sent any such statement to
ms, and do not think that Yale would taxi that
position. which would be equivalent to declaring
The game OF. for she knows that we will not play
on Dec. 8. II the rumor should prove to lie true.
Yale will stand In n worse position in the minds
Of Princeton men than she ever occupied before.
The Daily Prineetonidn expressed the sentiment
of the college when In q strong editorial to- night
# said!
1T 10 possible that Princeton may waive the
reasons, which she considers strong, for having
the game on Thanksgiving Day and consent 10
. compromise. But the point we wish TO make
perfectly clear is that happen to have the
upper hand in football this season. and that,
while we do not wish TO be dictatorial ourselves,
~e emphatically insist on being free from the
dctation OF others"
No com promise has ever been considered for u
moment by Princeton which would put the
game later than Dec. /. IL Is the opinion here
That the difference between the dates OF Dec.
and Dec. is 50 small that Yale could not gain
any great advantage in point Of rest TO her
men, who would have had a full weeks rest by
dec. I. and that that Is not her chief reason
for sticking out stouty for that date, but that
having taken IL according to her custom she Is
determined that others must bend TO her rather
than that she should yield herself Princeton
has come half way in considering Dec. /, and. IL
Yale will not meet her there. there Is great
danger that there may be no Yale-Princeton
game at all this year. Such a result would lie
considered q great calamity among Princeton
men. and Manager Mum and Capt. Trenchsrd
have bern doing all that could be done con-
sistsnt with Princeton's honor 70 bring about an
amcabl- compromise with the New Haven men.
The Princeton men. however. believe they
have the stronger side Of the argument, and feel
that they are working for the pleasure OF the
great crowds who have made the game what 1t
Is by the good money they have put into the
Golfers Of the college associations AS well as for
their own W shes, and they VIII fight for this 30
long as any hope remains OF obtaining II.
Princeton graduates are up in arms over the
