New Haven Is Quiet as the Crowd
Did Not MateriaIize, the Hotels
and Cafes Not Being Over
crowded
YALE THE FAVORITE
IN THE BETTING
But the Withdrawal of the Crack
Freshman Guard, Glass, Has
Given Rise to Some Misgivings
as to Outcome of Game Tigers
in Good Shape

| New Haven, Nov. 15.-The situation
on the eve of the championship foot
| ball contest between Yale and Prince
ton is anomalous. The early hours OF
| evening disclosed almost none of the
enthusiasm generally witnessed on the
night before the annual battle between
| the Tigers and the sons of ELL This
condition may probably be accounted
for by the fact that very few Prince
! ton men have reached New Haven, the
majority of the New Jersey men hay-
| ing remained either in their college
| halls al Princeton or accompanied their
heroes to New York where the night
will be spent
The members of the Yale team retir-
| ed early. No hard work was done this
afternoon, the men being sent through
! signal practice and punt catching Tor
| an hour or more at Yale Field. The
Yale spirit of pluck and grit is evident
on the campus, but the withdrawal OF
! the crack freshman guard, Glass, has
| given rise to misgivings as to the out
come of the game. The feeling on all
sides tonight seemed to find expression
| in the belief that while tomorrow's
| game would prove a hard fought one,
| the contest would in reality not reach
!
! eral excellence.
! In other words, as one Yale authority
| put It. the battle would be one be-
tween crippled elevens.
| The usual might before the battle"
crowd did not materialize and the no.
tells and cafes were not overcrowded
Betting was extremely scarce, and the
few wagers posted were insignificant
in size The prevailing odds were 10 to
| with Yale the faVOrite.
The weather conditions promised well
! for tomorrow, the air being crisp and
cold with almost no wind Yale Field
was left this evening in superb condi-
ton.
All that could be done for the Yale
team has been done by the coaches
| and trainers and the New Haven uni
versity will be represented on the grid
iron with a speedy eleven. Strains,
bruises and wrenches, however, may
count seriously against Yale, and be-
fore the game has progressed far sub
! stitutes may be called In. Yale men
are buoyed up by the fact that Prince
ton has suffered from injuries too, and
so far as the real condition of affairs
with Princeton is known in New Haven
tonight neither side has any particu-
lar advantage in the matter Of physi-
cal condition.
The Princeton team will reach New
Haven at about 100 tomorrow after
noon They will dress for the game in
their private car and go to the field in
special trolley cars just before o'clock.
Yale will rest throughout the forenoon
except, possibly, for signal rehearsal.
The team, it is stated tonight, viii
line up as follows: Gould (captain,)
left end: Goss, left tackle; Olcott, left
guard; Holt, center; Hamlin right
! guard; Hogan, right tackle; Swan,
| right end; Desaulles, quarterback;
Hart, left halfback; Chadwick, right
| halfback; Weymouth, fullback.
