YALE NOTES OF INTEREST
THE YALE-PRINCEToN GAME NEXT
 SATURD1Y.

Other Yale Items-Phi Beta Kappa Standard Changed-Michiga Club.
 There is an unprecedented demand for seats for the Yale-Princeton game on Saturday, and many will be com pelled to take their chances on securing standing room when the gates open. All the covered stand seats have been assigned by application with the ex- ception of few which have fallen into the hands of speculators, who are ask ing exorbitant prices for them. Man. ager Garrison will take back all tickets which are not wanted in order to les sen this evil as much as possible. Any student or graduate of either university who has placed tickets in the hands of spectators will be dealt with as severely as possible For the past two years every effort has been made to abolish this evil practice. There was evidently an off day Monday In the work of both the Yale and Princeton elevens. In this city the team played with an unusual lack of spirit and snap, with only three days before it to pre- pare for it's last and practically it's only important game of the season. The scrub made repeated long gains through Murray, who showed very lit tie improvement, and around Connor at end. The backs showed some inn mi ja min who ic slowly regaining his last years form. He is still handicapped, however, by his wrenched shoulder. Hinkey is out again, but did very light work. Hine, who has turned out somewhat of a dis appointment, made very poor show ing At the end of two halves of twenty-five minutes, the numerous coaches were, to say the least, discour- aged. The Tigers did little better, but are in much filter form all around than their New Haven rivals. The scrub scored touchdown, end made repeat ed long gains by mass plays. The varsity by the hardest kind of work was able to cross the touchdown line only twice. Cochran was one of the few who played a hard, steady game. Galley was not in the line, for the Iirst time this season He is not injured, but was simply laid off for rest. Baird was in his position at full back for only few minutes, retiring in favor of Wheeler The second eleven made frequent long gains on a new mass play in the first half. In the second the varsity changed it's tactics of defence and was able to break up hn 1oy xfith
