Managers O'Connell of Naugatuck and slavin of Waterbury quickly came to terms last evening in this city and there was very little wranglinp over the game. On account of Leonard playing lin Saturdays game it was feared that there might be some hitch Ill regard to the forfeit money. but Naugatuck did not care to have much to say about the subject. Their man. ager knew they were beaten before Leonard got into the contest The game will start promptly at o'clock, so as to be finished before darkness sets in. The halves will be of 9 minutes duration and the best officials obtainable will be secured. The south side of the field will be for the Brass City rooters while the Rubber City "squawkers" will be stationed on the north A forfeit of $75 has been post ed by each manager as guarantee of good faith and that DO player will be in the game whose name is not on tue following list:

HELL pEYILv PREDICTS.

Princeton, N. J.. Nov 16.-To-day will be the last day of practice for the Tigers this season. The team had long preparatory drill yesterday af- ternoon and then two fifteen-mlnute halves were played with the scrub. The scrimmage was hard one and the varsity scored three touchdowns. Part of the time the scrub had the ball on the yarslty's 20-yard line and an attempt was made to push 1t over. The efforts were unsuccessful, how ever, and the first team was not scored on. The main object of the practice was to test the defence of the first team, and the coaches said the eleven had put up fine defensive game and that the scrub had been able to make scarcely any headway against them. The Princeton undergraduates were greatly relieved yesterday when Hell Devil" Skillman, the Princeton pro phet, finally felt moved to prophecy on the outcome of next Saturdays game. Hell Devil" says Princeton will win and that both teams will score. All the students swear by Hell Devirs' predictions.

ABOUT THE TICKETS

New Haven, Nov 16.-Yale football officials were of the opinion last night that there would not be ticket of the 3O,000 for the Yale-P Princeton game on Saturday. One of the schemes of spectators to buy tickets has been to send women to get them. This has been detected by the Yale men in charge of the sale and has been stop ped. The Yale football managers yes terday perfected arrangements with the police to keep away from the vii cinity of the entrance to Yale field the regiment of fakers selling the winning colors and other truck. These persons will not be allowed any nearer the en- trance than the bridge, which Is at least 500 feet from the gates. Not a ticket can be had here by the public for the Harvard Yale game. Amos Thacher, who Is at the head of the ticket department, said last night that every effort would be made to provide tickets for the game for Yale alumni and undergraduates. The faculty has announced thar the university win be closed all day on the day of the liar vard-Yale game.

FOOTBALL NOTES.

The Yale students evidently do not feel the worry with which the coaches claim to be laboring.
 Trainer Robinson of Princeton now says that Dillon. will be in shape to play against Yale Saturday.
 Dave Campbell, captain of the 1901 Harvard team, weighs but 155 pounds now, or 20 pounds less than in his football days.
 Pierce dtfIe fastvend of the Andover team, is to enter Harvard in the fall. He is a brother of Waldo Pierce, at present guard of the Crimson team.
 Many Dartmouth men plan to dc- company the team to Cambridge Sat urday, 1900 tickets for the game hay- ing being disposed of in Hanover.
 With its wealth of backfeld mater ial Dartmouth can face Harvard ill fine fettle even though Captain Main does not go into the game for the Green.
 Jim Quill continues to be strong factor in the Yale practice and may he seen in the big games. On Thurs day he broke through the varsity's right wing for g yards and touch down. He was playing fullback for the scrub.
 Mt. Pleasant, the Carlisle quarter, is the most picturesque figure on the field today. He can run 100 yards in even time, the quarter In 50 seconds and can cover A feet in the broad ump. The little redman also has an active brain and is not weak in any single department of the game.
 The game abounds in fine quarter backs this year. It Is not often that such men as Tad Jones of Yale, Stey- kns of Pennsylvania, Starr of liar. yard, Mt Pleasant of Carlisle and Eckersall of Chicago are playing in the same season, to say nothing of such as Van Surdam of Wesleyan.

YALE IS READY.

New Haven, Nov 16.--A thousand students saw the open practice of the Yale eleven yesterday afternoon. The work was fast and fierce. The sing ing and cheering of the crowd seemed to inspire the squad considerably, and the work was the liveliest seen on the field in two weeks. The team now seems as fast as it was before the Co., lumbia game, condition that did not exist at the beginning of this week. Shevlin, at right end, Bigelow, at right tackle, Tripp at right guard, Forbes at left tackle. Gates at left end, Morse at right half and Flander at center are all fixtures for next Saturday, while for left guard Hockenberger has the support of some, while others would prefer Erwin. Roome may take Veeder's place at left half because of ,lhis superior weight. FlinanYill1pEQb- abfy be the fullback when the game starts, but if the Yale defence is cas- fly penetrated by Princeton, Levine will be put in.

THE SPORTING NEWS.

K 0 called the players together and said that to put an end to dissension in the team he had been forced to dismiss Quarterback Rice from the squad for the remainder of the season. For a time yesterday it was rumored that several of the varsity players had ta- ken sides with the deposed player and would not report for practice yes terday afternoon. The threatened re- volt, however, did not materialize, and every man was in his place, with the exception of Costello, who is resting at his home in Elmira, and O'Rourke, who was injured slightly in the Princeton game. The practice was the most spirited seen on Percy field this year.
