IN THE FOOTBALL WORLD.
STOCK EXCHANGE ODDS ARE
10 TO 7 on THE YALE TEAM.


Reports from New Haven have not been
very encouraging this week, but they have
not made the odds on the Yale praocton
game tomorrow any closer. The prevailing
quotation Is 10 to on Yale and good deal
OF money has been bet AT these figures A
broker said yesterday that he thought at
least $4,000 had been bet on the game at the
Stock Exchange. The odds were 10 to I
there yesterday and there was brisk betting
in varying amounts from the opening to the
closing hour. There were bets from $50
up and one wa ger which had si.iO0 for is
big end. This sum went on Yale at the odds
mentioned. Naturally. In view OF the odds,
there has been more Yale than Prince'on
money In sight. but the Princeton hackers
have put up their greenba cks freely at the
market figures. Yale, through simple pres
tige. usually represent the long end of the
betting In football. bet OF 500 to ESQ on
Yale against Harvard was made In Boston
on Wednesday though the form indicates
that the betting should be- even. Tickets
for the lale-Princeton game are harder TO
get this year than for some time. At a hotel
In this city yesterday two seats were sold
for $40 apiece and s. apiece is being asked
for tickets on the end stands.
In the matter OF rreenncss Yale IL no, a

men on the Yale team WHO never before this

DE Witt is In his third year at Princeton and
has played a good deal of football In that
time. Pearson played In number OF the
games last year but IA by no means seasoned
