Princeton. n. j. Nov. 1A.-Now that the football
team has left Princeton the students can only await
with ieverish anxiety the arrival of Saturday and
speculate on the outcome of the game with Yale.
On Saturday morning there Will be "A general
exodus from Princeton and the campus will take
on the appearance of midsummer. Seven thousand
four hundred seats have been taken by Princeton
men for the game This will be the largest Prince
ton crowd that has ever attended the game at New
haven. All the tickets allotted TO Princeton
gone early in the week. and it is now impossible
to secure seats for love OF money.
Before leaving for Norfolk Roper the head
coach refused TO give out lineup, but II Is gen
orally supposed that ii will be the in the
carlisle Indian game. The substitutes who were
not taken with the team. will leave here tomorrow
evening and will join the eleven at New Haven.
The men who went TO Norfolk Mccormick,
Harlan. Tibbott. Dillon. Wister Brown. Booth,

ling, Read Bamman. Dawson. Welch. Dowd and
Pfeiffer. Roper. Val Flood the trainer; N p

As a rule the undergraduates hopeful. but not
overconhdent. \ peculiar thing about the situation
this year Is the uncertainty that exists in the minds
OF many. With the exception of the Amherst game.
the undergraduates have little of the first
team and as result do not know just how much
10 depend on the men. Secret practice has been
the rule since the Cornell game and when the
gates thrown open the team has been com
posed largely OF substitutes. Every one is hoping
for dry field. for without that the Tigers light
fast back field will have little chance
The genera! opinion Is that Harlan will be heard
from, and many hope that his skill as a drop
kicker will win the day. At the mass meeting last
similarity between this and chat OF 1899
when Edwards was captain. That year the team
played remarkable football until the Cornell game
which was lost, as this year Tho next week the
team took a big brace and defeated the Carlisle
Indians. Then the Yale game was won in the last
few moments of play by Poe's field goal. Princeton
men are hoping that history will repeat itself
Tremendous enthusiasm has been aroused AT the
various mass meetings and. win lose, the eleven
may rest assured of the support always accorded
to a Princeton team.
