New YORK, N. Y, November 21.--
II was literally surging mass that
this morning besieged the entrance to
Manhattan field, within which enclos.
ure the great football contest between
Princeton and Yale was to be fought
out. Bankers, brokers, young and old
college men, divines, railroad mag
mates, merchant princes, all businesses
and professions and even Hogan's al
lev were represented IN the great throng
that pushed and scrambled for points
of vantage in the different sections.
Both teams were loudly applauded as
they came on the ground. Notwith-
standing Princeton's victory over Har-
ward last week, there was q strong
sentiment that Yale would this time
take the tigers into camp. Both teams
have been training hard, and the con-
test promised to be one of blood from
the start. Paul Dashiel, the ex- Lehigh
player, was umpire.
