Strong Feeling at Princeton for a Gam.
with Old Penn,

with Old Penn.
PR1NCEToS.' Aug. 1.-The experience OF tho
football team last fall shows that itIis impossible
Tor the Tigers TO turn out a succe ssfu financial
season. even with winning team. unless 40
least two big games are scheduled. Princeton
Is small town. ami the eleven must de-
pend almost entirely on the students for at
tendance. Last year tho association lost
money generally on the smaller games on no.
count of the heavy guarantees required w
visiting teams. and the proceeds OF the ono
big game, that with Yale were cut down large
ly by the heavy EXPENSES in building grand
stands necessary to hold the crowds and put
ting Brokaw Field in condition for the game.
When tho 'oS football season ended. therefore.
Cart. Edwards. ex-Capt Hillebrand and 9TH
ers prominent in athletics both among tho
undergraduates and the alumni. brought the
mntter before the Graduate Advisory Commit
teeand showed to them the financial advantage
that would ensue II q game could be dated with
the niNersity OF PENNSYLVANIA 1t was eX-
planned that the bad feeling that hnd existed
the Quakers after the defeat Of the Tigers Mt
Trenton in 1894. which, was the sole reason
the games. had entirely died out. and indeed.
that all those who had been in attendance ut
had been eradIsted. Other 9 areament ssV wers
also brought to bear, among them the fact
we're anxess 10 meet od enn and To tba h man"
ably $4,000 In receipts from game played in
PHILADELPHIA could be divided between the two
teams.
Although. tho meeting was held behind
closed doors. the rumOr Dersistently spread
about the campus that the Advisory Cammit-
tee had decided to withdraw from the antag-
onistic position they had held toward the Uni-
versty of Pennsylvania for four years and
would permit overtures to be made Tor a COM
olcte renewal of the friendly relations that for
merly existed between the two in stitutions IL
this was true the movement was quickly
blocked when Il reached the Outdoor Sports
Gomm!ten.of the faculty, which Is headed by
Prof. II. Is. Fine. who.has been the bitteresb
enemy Old Penn has had ut Princeton. and
Manager Bedford OF the baseball team were
conpelIed TO make up theiI schedules without
incud ing the University of Pennsylvania.
As a way out OF the financial difficulty that
presented itself the football team was rer-
United to schedule game with the Carlisle
lndians..w were not PLAYED last year on ac-
count Of the rough game in 1897, and to take
on game with Columbia in New York 1.-THE
indian game Is allowed to be played In New
York this, year the faculty will he departing
from the letter Of the rule made In 1886 to the
effect that no games should be played except
on college grounds. which resulted in the an.
nual Yale Princeton game being taken out "
New York.
SO Princeton will have to struggle along
again next fall with only one big game. but tho
feeling In favor Of contests OF all kinds with
much longer. and 1t NAV be safely predicted
that II Princeton loses money In football again
Prof. Fines committee will he forced to with
lraw their opposition to the renewal OF athletic
relations with Old Penn to the extent of per-
hitting football game at least.
