PRINCETON rs. YALE
From $4,000 to 10000 People Were
at Princeton to See the Great
Game.

Princeton, N. J., Nov. 15.-Princeton
and Yale met at 2 O'Clock this afternoon
on Old Nassau field in their annual foot
ball game No football contest of the year
was fraught with SO great interest. This
fact was made apparent early yesterday
when advance guards of graduates and
friends Of teams began arriving.
Princeton was in gala attire for the oc-
casion. All places of business were be-
decked with the colors of the two universi-
ties and there was scarcely dwelling
from the handsomest mansion to the hum
blest cottage that did not fly either the
blue or orange and black. The day broke
cloudy and a heavy fog. Toward 10
o'clock, however, the fog lifted and the
sun peeped through the clouds.
The weather was almost too warm for
the comfort of the players. The players
were up early and seemed to be in the pink
of condition. The Yale eleven reached
here at noon from New York and went at
once to the clubhouse where the players
remained until time to make appearance.
Trainer Murphy said all the players were
in fine condition with the exception of
Rafferty,. left end, and Captain Chad
wick. The latter is little finely drawn
