1 anything of the kind that has ever hap l pened at Yale, the Yale football team | yesterday afternoon set out for Prince | ton. The team left the campus about | 3:3O o'clock and took the 4:17 o'clock train for New York. Almost every | student in Yale, together with many l townspeople, were present to cheer the 1 players as they left the campus. New York, Nov 11.-In a hotly con tested game yesterday afternoon New York university was defeated by Rut- gers college by the score of Ii to at Ohio field. The home team was not | only outplayed and outweighed, but in poor physical condition. Three of the players were laid up with injuries. | ClevCrdon, full back, was hurt i'll the second half and weakened the team by having to retire. The Rutgers boys played q fast, snappy game, and did not give their opponents any breathing space between downs.
 MiddletoWn, Nov 1.-The team that Wesleyan will send to face Williams in the championship game today will | be quite different team from the one that defeated Holy Cross. The men have improved both in offensive and defensive work during the past three days The fumbling, which was so prominent on last Saturday, has dis appeared and every man plays with a snap that has not been displayed be- fore this season. In short, the team is in the pink of cOnditinon.
 Philadelphia. Nov .-Pcnnaylvania lines up against the Indians this after noon. The Indians are coming here full of confidence, remembering the victory which they Wrested from Penn sylyania last year. Coach Woodruff has been taught the utility of preDar- ing for an individual opponent and during the last ten days he has been playing especial attention to his end run defense and to end running. De- ficiency in the former cost pennsyl- vania the Harvard game. but the In dians will find it very difficult to circle the Red and Blue ends for consistent gains.
 Cambridge, Nov 17-The Harvard football practice yesterday was char acteried by an Improvement both in of fense and defense. There is still. hOW- ever, room for a great deal of improve mcnt, for the second eleven went through the Varsity lines for some neat gains. and at times held fairly we'll The backs seemed to be satis- fed to stop when they hit the opposing line, and the half backs failed to help Ellis when he bucked the line. The ends continue to improve in getting down the field under punts. Captain Daily was out again yesterday, but IS still unable to do hard work.
 Ithaca, Nov 17.-There was quite as much interest manifested in Ithaca last night over the Lafayette game as there was before the Princeton @qmo, and nearly IS many students will go to EastOn to witness the contest as went to Princeton The students who go to East0n will take considerable money with them to back the team and will be willing to back Cornell nj odds of to i. Last year Laf0Yette'& sup porters carried away considerable of CornplHs money with them, and Cor nell is anxious to get even.
 New York. Nov 17.-Columba foot ball players left yesterday morning for Annapolis to play the Naval Cadets today. The full squad and substitutes were taken. including Quarter. Back Sykes. who will play in both this and the Indian games. Captain Morley is especially anxious to win hy q com fortablc score so as to gain all the pres tigc possible before the Thanksgiving day game in this city. The great de- sire to defeat the Indians this year is ' not so much to make up for last years defeat but because there is a grow
 ing sentiment at Columbia that no flu ture games should be played with the red men. Since Columbia is now bound by hard and fast eligibility rules the student opinion is that only such teams should be kept on the visiting list as are similarly handicapped.
 Princeton. Nov IA short signal drill was all the work required of the players yesterday afternoon. Accord ing to Trainer Robinson, the men. bar ring two or three who are suffering from the effects of old injuries, are in the pink of condition and fit to stand the hammering Of a gruelling contest. Nevertheless, it is the concensus of opinion here that Princeton will be obliged to send out several substitutes. for the constant plunges of Yale's big backs against the Tigers light for wards are bound to wear the latter down. The management had this first in view when it required the scrub players to remain in training through the game, The coaches. however, argue that their pupils. trained to the hour. ought to be in better shape than the Yale men, who can hardly be in top-notch form yet, for they have the Harvard eleven to face next week.
 San Francisco, Nov 17.--Duff the football player, was so low yesterday morning that physicians thought that he could live only few hours. Presi- dent wheeler's secretary being misin- formed, issued a bulletin of death and had the flags half-masted. Duff late in the afternoon took turn for the better and it is now said he will re- cover.
 Principal Prouty is evidently misin- formed as far as New Britain is con cerned else he has forgotten about | the tactics that Meriden used, when
