There arc two kinds Of betting on the Yale.
Princeton football match tomorrow, one Kind
prevailing among college men loyal TO tho
teams, tho other Kind being restricted to the
public at large. The coilcuians are not so lib
eral with odds rs tho public, chiefly because
they do not believe in taking chances. Prince
ton mon arc offering odds Of 0 TO 4 on tho
Tigers to win, while outsiders are quito willing
to back the Jcrscymen Mt . TO ] to carry tho
day. Everybody is nnN Gus TO bot that Prince
ton will scorc, but tho odds vary. Two to one
prevails among J~erseymeh on this basis while
IN Wall street, for instance. ! to ] IL obtainnble.
Princston men are willing to bet 4 to o that
Yale will not score. while oven money can DO
had from non.pnrtisan spectators. II seems to
b the general idea to bet on whether Yale will
score or not and by how many points Princeton
viii defeat the New Haven eleven. There are
moro persons who want to bot TINT Yale will
score thnn those who will bank on a shut. out.
There are many who will risk their money on
the chance that Princeton will win by IL
points. Some mon are wagering l to 3
that Princeton will score thr.o times
as many points as Yale. A new
kind OF betting has also cropped out
on the chances for goals from the field. Those
who favor this way Of specializing are offering
to l that Baird of Princeton docs not kick a
neld goal and 10 to 1 that Mcbride OF Yale will
not. Another ofier Is o to l that there will not
30 . total of 35 points in the whole game.
Those who are making books on the results Of
both the Princeton Yale and Harvard ennsyl-
yania games seem willing to hot 1 to l thaG
both Yale and Harvard will be defeated. Penn.
sylvania, by the way, Is a . to l favorito to do
feat Harvard. 1t Is even money that Harvard
will not score.
Football men are figuring on tho kind OF
game that Yale and Princeton will adopt. 1t is
the prevailing opinion that tho Tigers will per-
NIT Yale to do all the attacking in tho first
half. at the same time relying on her punters to
keep the ball away from their goal line. If,
however. after several attempts the Tigers find
that they can make their gains easily through
,Yalo's line. they will probably cut their backs
