NEW HAVEN, Conn. Nov. 24-On the
eve of the great football battle that viii
close the season for Yale and Princeton,
the Yale eleven was sent to bed selling
in the best of spirits and full of hope.
They were permitted to spend the greater
part of an hour, Immediately after dim
ner, in the lobby of the New Haven house,
where the majority of Yale supporters
and former bootbau players have secur-
ed quarters for the night. The men were
introduced to their predecessors on the
Yale eleven, and listened to much good
natured comment on football lore. The
men told their friends and relatives.
many of whom Were with them tonight,
that they are feeling in the best of health,
and are ready to play the game of their
lives. None of the players, however,
would make any predictions as to the
result of the game. The most that any
of them would say was that Yale ought
TO win, and that the dark blue was never
in better condition to play a hard, fast
and scientific game than they would be
tomorrow. Trainer Robinson said the
men were up to their weight, and as TT
to play the stiffest sort of game as they
We're last Saturday, on which occasion
there was no doubt of their soundness.
TEAM CONDITION PERFECT.
Capt. Mcbride personally made a de-
NAL to all reports that reflected upon the
condition of the men. He said in his
estimation they were perfectly sound. As
for himself he said, he felt in fine fettle.
Capt Mcbride said with regard to the
lineup in tomorrOw's game:
The lineup is undecided in two in
stances. I can give you the men who
will be considered by the coaches tOmOr-
row, and from which the men will be
picked. The indefinite positions are right
halfback and left end. The men selected
definitely are Hale for center; Brown,
left guard Olcott, right guard; Francis,
left tackle; StilIman, right tackle; Hub
bell left end; Fincke, quarter back;
Sharpe, left half back; Mcbride, full back
Either Kean OF Richards will be at right
halfback, and Gould, Snitjar or Gibson
will be right end
For the first time in many years, prob
ably for the first time since the football
game has assumed it's greater proper
tons, the Yale varsity was put through
stiff game of practice this afternoon
The men had been told they would prob
ably only be required for signal work.
The splendid weather and the exuber-
ance of spirits on the part of the men
led the coaches to put them through ten
minutes of brisk playing. The subs were
lined up against them, and the Prince
ton formations used against the varsity
to try its power of defense. This was
found to be better than yesterday and
the general playing fuzzy as good as on
last Saturday. The men went through
the signals without fault, and put plenty
of steam into their work. The varsity,
when given the ball, scored three times
in less than twelve minutes of line work.
Keane, Chadwick and Mcbride carried
the ball over in succession.
Aside from the eleven and its training
everything is in readiness for the game.
The weather conditions promise to be
perfect, and the seaNElg arrangements
are we'll ordered. The field itself is in
good condition.
