The report from Princeton that the Tigers
slumped in their work on Tuesday, while gen.
orally received with plenty Of salt, turns out to
bo true, and thore are also other stories that
may stir up the followers Of the orange and
black to feelings Of apprehension. A noD.par.
tisan who saw the Princeton eleven at work on
Tuesday said TO THE Sun reporter yesterday:
Tho men appeared to be slightly over.
trained, or perhaps ! should say they were right
on edge,t Cochran. tho captain, seemed a bit
cross and finally ordered both Baird and Kelley
of tho field. He also had an alteration with
Kelley over some point. and altogether seemed
unusually worked up. Tho sudden brace Of tho
Yale team acted on tho nerves Of the Tigers,
in my estimation, and oil Of them began to real.
iso that they would have to materially brace

been all along confident that Yale would be the
easiest OF marks naturally has reacted, now
that a possible close game with Yale is on tho
cards. Sou.e Princeton men are still confident
that Yalo will be beaten bv a big score, soy 80

Princeton can win by IL points there will be o
general feeling Of satisfaction"

Baird and Hillebrand of Princeton, who saw
the Harvard.Yale game. said when 1t was over:
"Princeton will beat Yale. Harvard should
have won this game and our eleven Is twice as
strong rs Harvard. Yale is improving rapidly
and will be a hard nut to crack. but the Tigers
will carry the day" These sentiments are
voiced by nearly all of the experts who have
been watching football this fall, and the gen.
eral opinion on all sides is tibet Princeton will
win unless tho Tigers get ratified. Very few
arc anxious to bet against Yale's chances for
scoring. A noted ex-Princeton player said yes
terday: do not bet that Yale will not score.
