PRINCETON November "A cold east
erly hail storm turning into rain broke
over Princeton this morning soon after
sunrise to dampen the ardor of the GRIM
son and the orange and black in their first
foot hau match for six years.
Quite little betting was engaged in
about the corridors of the hotels and stu
dent clubs. with odds in favor of Harvard.
hut what Cambridge money was present
was held at not greater than 3 10 or
to l. Harvard did not seem as confident
OF the gime as few days before, and the
wet grounds still further dampened their
ardor in this respect as the long runs
around the end, which it was hoped would
result in greater gains into Princetons ter
ritory. did not look promising.
The eLt.rG Princeton team were reported
in fine condition. with the exception of
Riggs the right guard, and Sueter. the
quarter back The former was still about

about l O'Clock, with flags, banners and
yellow chrysanthemums, red pinks, badges
and all of the showy paraphernalia that
seems Indispensable to a foot ball game.
The spectators thrOnged the entrance to
the grounds and seemed fully as anxious to
buy as to sell tickets. 1t did not take loEg
to get the cheering started. Princeton's
tiger leading. but the five hundred Har-
ward men made up in enthusiasm what
''Rah. rah, ran' made good showing
against the ponderous Princeton cheering.
Shortly after o'clock a wilder cheering at
the south end of the grounds announced The
coming of the teams, and both sides wed
with eacn other in the welcome of their ia
vorites. Captain Lea headed the tigers, while
Brewer entered the field ahead of the red
legged young men from Cambridge. The
men Immediately began falling On the dozen
balls that were thrown about the field while
the goal k,ckers stretched their legs by trial
kicks between the posts.

ranions and retired to the side lines, while
