New York. Nov. 14.-Reports from New
Haven have not been very encouraging
this week. but they have not made the
odds on the Yale-Princeton game Sat
urday any closer. The prevailing quota.
-tfon is 10 to Z on Yale and a good deal OF
money has been bet at these figures.
"A broker said to-day that he thought at
least $4,000 had been bet on the game at
the stock exchange. The odds were 10 to
Z, there to-day and there was brisk bet
ting In varying amounts from the open
ing to the closing hour. There were bets
from $50 up and one wager which had
$1,100 for its big end This sum went on

Tickets for the Princeton game
are harder to, get this year than for some
time. At a hotel in this city yesterday two
seats were sold for SO apiece and IS
apiece Is being asked for tickets on the
end stands
In the matter of greenness Yale is not
a bit better off than Princeton. There
are four men on the Yale team who never
before this season were on the varsity
team. They are the freshmen: Shevlin,
Kinney Rockwell and Bowman. Others
who never have played In big game are
Glass and Metcalf. Glass has never faced
Princeton or Harvard. This leaves Raj
ferty, Holt, Goss, Hogan and Chadwick
who have played in big game. Chad

Captain Davis Of Princeton, a high class

Shevltn Is the heavier man and not as fast
as Davis, but pretty fast. Shevlin has
come up rapidly since the Yale coaches
shifted him from tackle to end, is an az
gressive player and hard tackler.- Davis is
one OF the surest tacklers on the gridiror
and his experience makes him a harde,
man to fool than Shevlin. Rafferty, and
henry face each other on the other END
and this, looks to be a pretty even thing
henry IS the more experienced, but has
been somewhat. off this year on account
OF injuries, while Rafferty, came out late
for practice. and has an injured hand.
Kinney at left tackle is a bigger anG
stronger man than Reed Of Princeton
whom he will face, while Reed is active
and aggressive. Hogan, the other Yale
tackle. and a powerful man on the of
