FOR THE YALE-PRINCETON GAME
NEXT FALL.
Arrangements have already been be-
gun at Princeton for the Yale-Princeton
football game which will be played
there next fall 1t was feared at first
that the Pennsylvania railroad would
not be able to accommodate the crowds
owing to the fact that from Princeton
Junction to the town there is only
single track road. The company has
decided to lay another track thus in
creasing the facilities. 1t will also lay
several new sidings at the Princeton
depot.
The game will not be played on the
regular athletic field, but on Brokaw
field where new stands will be built
especially for the game. Brokaw field
is directly across the track from the
railroad depot, thus making it possible
for spectators to return Immediately
after the game.
