M'CRACKEN TO REFEREE

Yale and Princeton at New Haven last
night settled the question<aS to who would
referee their game here Saturday, there
being q hitch for several weeks over the
choice OF that official. The two universt-
ties agreed upon John G. McCracken, the
former University or Pennsylvania guard.
so that he and Evarts Wrenn Of Harvard,
who was chosen as umpire a few days
ago. will rule the play and the players
AT the big contest. Seldom have Yale and
Princeton had so much trouble over the
officials as they experienced this year,
n never before has the final choice
been made only two days before the game.
Signal practice was given to the Yale
football squad I'm their final preparation
for the game. The men were kept at
work for two hours and the work ran of
smoothly and was gratifying to the
coaches. The men seemed pleased TO hin
that the day OF battle was near. Every
one seemed certain Of victory.
The line played low and fast and tho
attack used today was made by a large
number OF men. Aside from the backs
and the quarter hack. Shevlin, Trip.
Forbes and Biglow assisted In the rushing.
The signal drill was the best OF the sea-
son as well az the fastest. and fdmbling
was reduced To a minimum.
Tho kicking squad was given a, lot OF
practice after the secret work ended, and
the work OF Roome, Veeder and Hutchin-
son was excellent.
The work will he of the lightest kind
IL the squad IL taken o at all. II is
possible that at council for the coaches
II will he decided to give the men a long
walk or a ride instead of a signal drill.
The boys were given their final talking
to by the coaches In the gymnasium, and
the old grads were there in numbers TO
encourage the eleven 10 supreme efforts
Saturday.
This final makeup Of the eleven has been
decided upon. The betting here all favors
Yale. and some wagers are being made
that Princeton will not score. Money is
also being laid that Yale will defeat the
Tigers by n larger score than last year.
This eleven will face Princeton as fol-
lows: Gates. left end; Forbes. left tackle;
Erwin, left guard; Flanders. centre;
Trip. right guard; Biglow. right tackle:
Shevlin. right end. Hutchinson, quarter
back: Morse. right half back: Veeder and
Roome. left half back; Finn, full back.
