ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD.
IRRANG EMEHTS COMPL ETED FOR
THB mo YILE-PRINCETON GAME.

ball team, and ID. c. Twitchell, manager OF the
Yale eleven, met in this city yesterday after
noon and practically completed arrangements
for the big game between these universities to
be played at New Haven on Nov. 90. Consider
able correspondence had passed between these
young men regarding tho handling of tho game.
but not until yesterday did their plans assume q
definite shape.
II will DO OF interest to the many alumni OF
both Yale and Princeton to know that there will
be seats for 1S. 900 persons on Yale Field. Tho
stands, which will be huge, open affairs, will be
located on tho four sides of the gridiron, and
each ticket holder will be entitled to a num-
bored seat. Back Of each goal limo there will be
stands which will accommodate about 4,600 per-
sons. Along the two side lines will DO bleachers
which can hold $ 200 each, and an extension on
ono corner OF the fold capable of seating 5000
more. No tally-ho coaches or carriages Of
any sort will be permitted inside OF the inclos-
ure. and no admission tickets, emitting holders
30 stand up around the field. will be sold. Tho
aide linen will be shut Off from the stands by a
strong fence, inside of which the coaches and
members OF tho press will be permitted to sit
down on long benches. Between the fence and
the open stands there will be a wide PASSAGE
way extending all tho way around the field.
The stands will be cut up into lettered sections,
and there will be an abundance of exits.
From present indications it will require q good
deal of diplomacy for persons not connected
with either college to secure tickets. Manager
Twitchell will have entire charge of affairs at
New Haven, and when the time comes he will
receive all applications for seats from the Yale
undergraduates and alumni. Manager Hall
