 The annual football game between
 Yale and Princeton will be played this
 afternoon at the Yale field at 2 o'clock,
 and from the way the tickets are selling
 it is estimated that a crowd of 1S.000 people will attend the game The
 Yale team will leave the New Haven house at 10 o'clock this morning and
 will be driven in open hacks out Whit
 ney avenue to the New Haven Country
 club, where they will remain in quiet
 ude for about two hours. This Is done by the management to keep the players
 from the noisy crowd that always as
 sembles about the New Haven house
 corner and to keep their minds as much
 as possible off the great game that will take place in the afternoon. The play
 CTS will be taken to Mrs. Patterson's, 42
 College street. shortly after noon, and
 they will eat their dinner there, instead
 of at the New Haven house. They will
 dress as usual at the Yale gymnasium
 and will be carried to the field, arriving | there shortly before the appointed hour
 for the game.
 l It was not definitely decided until
 after the practice yesterday afternoon what the lineup of the Yale team
 would be, and the News this morning,
 the official organ of the university, will give the lineup as follows: Left end,
 Gould; left tackle, Goss left guard, Ol- colt: center, Holt; right guard Hamlin; l right tackle, Hogan right end Swan; quarter back, deSaulles; left half back, Hart; right half back, Chadwick; full back, Weymouth. Captain Gould an- nounced the following last night as substitutes: Ends, Rafferty and Fergu- son; tackles, Kunzig and Francis; guards, Johnson and Andrews; quarter back, Metcalf; half backs, Wilhelmi and Easton full back. McClintock. The injuries of some of the Yale men make it almost certain that some of the substitutes will get in the game, for a team that plays as hard as the Tigers is very likely to do some damage to men who are not in the finest condition or who have bad backs, ankles or hands. Olcott, Gould, Swan and Goss are the ones that are not quite fit and 1t will not be surprise if all of this quartet is compelled to leave the field during the course of the game. None of the men are overtrained and it seems that the rather light work that they have gone through during the past three days has put them in fine con- dition. The team Is fast, they work well together and have great confidence in their ability to make the Tigers hus- tie and with this condition of affairs ex- isting the coachers and every Yale man are sanguine over the result
 The reports that have come from Princeton would indicate that the team from Tigertown is as badly off as the Yale team in regard to crippes, but as they are reputed to be trihe below Captain Gould's team in playing form. the game this afternoon should go down in gridiron history as being one of the most hotly and evenly contested ever played Yesterdays practice of the Yale team was secret. There was no lineup and great deal of the after noon was given up to signal work. The practice was fast and encouraging to the coachers.
 Last night the forerunner of the great | crowd came to New Haven and they | made things about the center of the | city lively. The came on the trains | from Boston and New York. and great many of the early visitors made their headouarters at the New Haven house.
 Three or four of the Harvard team l including Captain Campbell some of the Harvard coachers. and a few un- were noticed about the streets, while almost hundred Prince ton followers were also In evidence. The Harvard men expect to go back to Cambridge with many points on Yale's style of play. This will be the last game for the Tigers this year. They have played a fast consistent game all through the season. and have been scored on only twice. Cornell scored eight points and West Point six. They have won all but the West Point game, which was a tie Yale has been scored 1n three times this year and the only game they have failed to win was the one with West Point, the score being to ,. Following are the scores of the games Yale has played this season: September 2s, Yale 23, Trinity 0; Octo- per ?, Yale 6, Amherst 0; October 5, Yale %, Tufts 5; October 9. Yale "A, Wesleyan o: October 12 Yale "A, An lapolis 0; October IS, Yale 45, Bowdoin ]; October 19, Yale 22, Pennsylvania State college O.; October 22, Yale 22 Bates o.

 There was some betting here last light but it was very light. Princeton money was snapped up whenever it was hown, and Yale men are willing to ave 5 to 4 on their team. A
