Betting on tnc 1ale-ITlnccCol Salllc
has already begun, with the tigers the
favorites. It is believed that to 4 will
be offered by Princeton men on the gen
eral result, and that they will offer at
least 9 to that Princeton will score.
Even money that Yale will be white
washed may be another prevailing price.
Every one of the Cornell varsity was
out for hard practice yesterday. The
men were lined up against strong scrub
team for half an hour. As result three
touchdowns and goal from field were
scored.
Harvard will lose most Of its star
players this year.
The Harvard team left for Philadelphia
last night via Fall River
De Wolf Hopper and John Phillip
Sousa have each composed verses for
Yale to sing on Saturday. Wonder II
they will get chance to use them'
Speculators now ask $40 for a 81 seat at
the,Yale-Princeton game. The Pcnnsyl-
vania railroad says that it cannot handle
the crowds.
"King" Kelly, last years famous line
bucking half back, received the greatest
ovation ever accorded Princeton ath-
lctc yesterday afternoon when he ap-
peared on the gridiron in foot ball togs
for the first time in three weeks. The
whole Undergraduate body were present,
and Kelly's presence was taken as good
omen for victory in the Yale game. His
appearance, in truth, was a great sur
prise to every one.
The last Harvard lineup between the
varsity and the scrub took place yes
terday afternoon. 1t was lively play
throughout by both elevens and Coach
Forbes had good reason to say, ""ell
done" when the squad cantered off the
field. The scrub was only able to hold
the Varsity once, and was never able TO
gain for any length of time. The inter-
ference was extremely good, and the
backs moved quicker than they have in
some time.
1t is expected that Parke Davis,
Lafavette's coach, will shortly quit the
work he is now engaged in and begin
the practice of law. He is now reading
law under Congressman kirkpatrick and
expects to be admitted to the bar ii
January. Mr. Davis did wonders fol
athletics at Lafayette, though the failure
of the foot ball eleven to come up to cN
pcctations and to the mark it made last
wear under Mr.. Davis has been very dis
appointing. George Barclay, Lafayette
famous half back last year, may be en-
gagged for coach.
Don't forget that the Warren will play
the strong Rivelton A. a. on Saturday
at Union street grounds. Turn out like
YOU did last Saturday, and after tho
game YOU will be just as satisfied as you
were then.
Captain Huxley got badly used but
continued to play and did good work.
Simmons was Il good ground gaincl
Yesterday and was greatly missed i'll tho
second half.
What do YOU think OF Groves? He is /;
dandy. 1t takes a good one to get past
him.
Lingo got into the game yesterday and
made several good play.
Gouert is making quite reputation
for himself by his tackling from behind
Lawton kicked very well considering the
weak condition OF the line. This pre-
vented several quarter back kicks
Bulgcr, the visitors half back, was
quite Il sprintcr.
The crowd could be heard singing Al
Coons Look Alike to Me, when the Cath
olic High School came upon the field
You have good team, boys, and car
beat all of them that is your weight.
The advance sale of seats for the
University of Observation-Disclosures
football game, which takes place at
Franklin Field, on Saturday, has beer
unprecedented The indications are that
25,ooO persons will witness the great
struggle. Tickets for the north ano
south stands have been entirely dispose
of and the seats for the two end stands
sold 50 rapidly that the management
have found it necessary to erect ne"
east stand. This will have Il seating
capacity of about $500, and will make
the total seating capacity OF the grounds
something over 25,OOO,

Yesterday, and at once devoted his at
tention to Cadwalader and the guards.
Stilman was summoned by the othc
coaches because they realized that th'
centre trio needed considerable strength
cning to hold Prncctons veteran line
Cadwalader proved an apt pupil, an'
soon showed beneficial effects from tin
vigorous instruction of the old timer.
