the Anatr-The Teams Practice
Spectators mobbsd Last Night-Con-
cert to be Held To-night-Harvard's
Team Arrives Here To-day.
That the college spirit that has made
Princeton famous, and the spirit found
| for the first time at Harvard one year
ago, do not compare with the university
spirit at Yale. was demonstrated in
most vivid manner yesterday afternoon
when more than 1000 students, headed
| by the Second Regiment band, marched
| from the Yale campus out to Yale field
singing, shouting and cheering for Old
Eli. At the field the varsity eleven the
coarhers, Trainer Mike Murphy and the
scrub team Were cheered most enthu-
| siastically. The new songs were sung
and when the practice was at an end
the 1900 students and fully 1000 citizens
returned to the city, firmly convinced
that Harvard's trip to New Haven is
simply for the purpose of going back to
Cambridge, defeated team.
Yesterdays Practice.
The Yale varsity eleven practiced in
secret yesterday afternoon under tire
coaching of Charley Chadwick, Field
Coach Swan, Charley Gould, Rev.
George B. Cutten, and Walter Camp.
| The work was more than satisfactory
to the coachers, and Trainer Murphy
says the men are in first class condi-
tion. Rafferty, still wears a bandage
around his head. He may Start the
game on Saturday, but it is doubtful If
| he will hold out until the end Every
Yale man recognizes that Rafferty, has
made wonderful showing this season
and his work in Princeton last Saturday
! demonstrated the fact that his Tiger OPP
ponent was not one iota his superior.
! Hare was in Rafferty's place during the
open work yesterday. All the regular
men lined up in this open play Only
| light work was indulged in. Bowman
was given practice in punting and drop
goal kicking, while the linemen held
/ their opponents Rockwell was drilled
| in catching punts and Shevlin and
Hare were sent down the field on each
/ punt.
| For the entertainment of the crowd
| the second and third eIevens faced each
/ other and then began to fight. 1t was
/ a royal battle and every man slugged
I in hopes of gaining a first substitutes
/ position on the varsity.
Mobbed Spectators.
Yale graduates and undergraduates
! have been placed upon their honor not
to sell to SPECTATORS tickets for the big
game on Saturday So intense has the
| feeling become against the Shylocks
was through the craft and contemplate
cunning annually secure possession Of
football tickets and then sell them at
exorbitant rates, that the students
! made raid on the crowd last night.
! The tickets in the hands of the specu-
lators came from the Harvard sale.
/ Names had been written on the tickets
! of the purchasers but the Spectators
! had, by means of a chemical compound,
removed the names The tickets brought
$40 each. The spectators approached
| the students and offered to buy the
tickets allotted to the students One
! student, recognizing the insult as COM
| ing direct, turned on one of the specu-
| lators and struck him squarely in the
! face. The speculator rolled into the
street. Some of the other spectators
came to the rescue of their companion
and then the trouble began. Hundreds
/ of students swarmed from the campus
and the spectators took to their heels.
The chase continued down Chapel street
| to Temple. On Temple street one of
! the spectators was caught. The tickets
were taken from him and he was given
! one minute to get out of sight. He left.

possession were taken from them and
