 Big Favorite.
 In Wall street yesterday betting on next Saturdays game between Yale and Princeton started in the Broad street curb market at $100 to $60 on Yale, with the odds later increasing to $10O to $40 At the close of the day $1OO to $50 was offered on Yale. with $40 to $1OO bid on Princeton. The largest bettor was E. A. Chartrand. who wagered 1000 to $500 on Yale. Odds on the Harvard Yale game were 3 to 1 that Yale wins. z, r.. ,-f ia
 The betting in Wall street on the Yale-Princeton game is inexplicable So far as the odds are concerned, unless it be Yale prestige pure and simple that makes the Blue a faverite at 2 to i. There is nothing in the form of the two teams that indicates any such dis. parity. . Three Yale victories in, sue cession are no indica ton whatever Of q fourth this year. The odds in 1S9I were even more one-sided than they are now, Princeton being the favorite that year by virtue of a great team the year before; yet Yale won the game. Yale expects to win this year, but So does Princeton, and with greater conn- dence than in a number of years. An illustration of how, the Wall street pet tors are banking on Yale was fur nished yesterday. A Yale man went down there to see what sort Of a propo- sitien would be made to him that Yale would not beat both Princeton ana Harvard: He was surprised at being informed that two defeats Tor 1ale were regarded as the short end of the TT 4 l o,f hes w S125 to $10O that Yale would win both games he would be accommodated. "S1ch odds are ridiculous" he said, and there was no bet on his part.
 New Haven, Nov 12.--Yale's varsity playefs will not be called upon for any more hard work until they line up. against the Tigers Saturday From now on the physical condition of the men will be the chief concern of the coaches, and the practice will be light. Signals, formations and the many trlc plays with which it is hoped to baffe Princeton will be rehearsel, that the team will be in good order when called upon. The coaches have expressed themselves as satisfied with the work of the team this week, and it has been good in all departments of the game. The defense has been perfected until if is almost invulnerable, center being the only man in the line not certain 10 stand up when the test comes.
 Princeton Nov 12-The Tigers had an open practice yesterday afternoon for the first time in a week. About 1 300 students turned out and. headed by band from Princeton, marched to the field. where cheers and new songs were practiced. A game with scrubs, lasting about an hour, was played. Each man on the scrub had big .'4 drawn on the front of his uniform and the cheering and laughter which greet ed this bit of fun were long and loud. The varsity succeeded in scoring two touchdowns, but the work of the f1Pst team was loose, and the old weakness of receiving punts showed up with ire duency. Barney and Bradley both played on the scrub, while Short was at center and Dillon at right guard. This arrangement. however, is thought bv the majority of the students to have been only temporary. Miller was out at full again and seemed to be entirely recovered from his injury of last week. This was the last game between the varsity and the scrub. To-day and Friday there will be only & light prac- tice in receiving punts and running through formations. After yesterdays game had been finished the scrub cheered Captain Dewitt, the coaches and the team before they dfsbanded.
 Cambridge, Nov 12.-Harvard's foot ball team had another long. hard prac- tice yesterday afternoon, but no de cided Improvement was manifest. Fer haps the strang surroundings had something to do with this, for the team worked for the first time on the new field inside the magnificent $2O0,OOO stadium.
