TOMORROW'S GAME
Harvard and Princeton to Meet on
the Foot Ball Field.
FIRST time Since THE SEASON OF S9
The Old Feud Yields to Mutual Good
Feeling.
DETAILS OF THE MAKEUP


Princeton for the first time since 1889 The
last time these teams came together on the
''gr:diron' six years ago much bad feeling
resulted, and Princeton's victory was mar
red by the charges of rough play brought
against them by the Harvard sympathizers.
The breach was wide one, too, and all
efforts to bring the teams together again
failed until this fall, when Harvard S
sauabble with Yale paved the way for
reunion, and the two old enemies have now
buried the hatchet and smoked the pipe of
peace.
Both teams have been training hard for
the event, and each will play all the tricks
it's players know before time is called, de-
spite the fact that coaches from both Yale
and the University of Pennsylvania will
be watching every move as closely as so
many ferrets. Princeton will meet Yale
three weeks later in New York. and Har-
ward will play Pennsylvania in Cambridge
the same day.
Princeton began this falls foot ball work
with few of last years veterans, though
among the substitutes of 1894 there were
many promising men who did not graduate
in the spring. "Beefy' Lea, last years
crack tackle was chosen to guide the for
tunes Of the team this year. and he has
proved both popular and efficient as captain
and coach.
The Princeton men have met with about
the usual number of accidents among the
candidates for their team. In the center of
the line Princeton is nearly as strong this
fall as last. The absence of Wheeler from
left guard will make a hole He is coach
ing Riggs, last years center, to fill his
place at left guard. and Rhodes, the vet
eran right guard, will probably fill the
same position again this fall. For the CEN
ter a new man had to be trained
Captain Lea is certainty for right tackle,
while Church, one of last years substi-
tutes, will probably fill the same position
on the other side of the line. Cochrane,
also a substitute last year. will probably
play on one end while Johnston, Knight
and three or four others are trying for the
other end.
Behind the line, Princeton has many
promising candidates, but most of them are
new men. Pope, who played full back for
the University of Virginia, is perhaps the
best kicker among those trying for full
back, though Barnard and Baird are both
strong aspirants for the disputed place.
Armstrong is perhaps the most brilliant of
all the backs.
The Princeton players have had the bene-
fit this fall of a great deal of expert coach
ing by veteran Princeton players.
While most of Harvard's rush line is COM
posed of new men, she is particularly for
tunate in having so many of her last years
backs in college to play again this fall The
absence this fall of Bob Wrenn, the clever
little quarter back, is the only important
vacancy behind the line, and there are sew
eral men who promise to fill his shoes ac-
ceptably. Wrenn himself is coaching the
candidates for this position, and Borden for
Beale will probably pass the ball for Har-
ward In both her two big games Confer
man is the star half back of the team, and
is almost sure of his place, while Charles
Brewer will probably fill the other position
For full back Harvard will depend on Fair
child, last years kicker, or Dunlop.
in Harvard there seems to be a dearth of
heavy men, and the crimson will have to
depend on Doucette and Jaffray, two new
men, and Holt. an experienced player, for
the guards. Capt. Arthur Brewer will un-
doubtedly play right end. while Newell will
probably fill the other end of the line.
Harvard has been practcng a number of
new tricks under the altered rules, and
some innovations may be expected from the
acknowledged men in tomorrows game
The difference between the playing rules
under which the games of Harvard and
Princeton will be played in other cases has
caused compromise to be reached which
will alter slightly the rules of each on this
occasion. The changes, however, are all
technical ones. and the game remains the
same to the ordinary observer.
Great preparations have been made at
Princeton for this big game, and a large
ed upon the Princeton field which will ac-
ccmmodate about 10000 people, and special
trains will be run from New York and Phila-
delphia to accommodate the great crowd
from both cities that will go to see the game.
No big game has taken place in Princeton
before since 1886, and this fact, coupled
with the old rivalry between Harvard and
Princeton, and their long separation, should
greatly add to the attendance.
