MANY SEATS GONE
More Sold for Princeton Game
Than Last Year-Still Two
Thousand Left.
NEW AUTO ARRANGEMENT
Yale VIII Try Plan OF Using Three
Pitchcrs-Samc Lineup for
Tomorrow.
NEW AUTO ARRANGEMENT

That the Yale Princeton game In this
city tomorrow viii be witnessed by a
greater throng than usual is the indi-
cation at the ticket bureau after the
sale OF seats that has already taken
place. Up to last night there had been
sold nearly twice as many seats as for
the game last year a total Of 5000 hav-
Ing been already disposed Of. The fine
showing made by Yale against Brown
Wednesday has encouraged great
many people and has resulted In an in
creased public sale which indicates
that the team will be Loyalty followed
In its first great game Of the season.
All the tickets for seats In the covered
stands have been sold but there are a
goodly number of seats In the open
stands all good ones and all reserved
which may still be had by applying at
the ticket department In the basement
Of Durfee hall, In all there are about
5000 seats at the field for this game.
A new idea has been evolved for
taking care Of autos which is expected
to make great hit. 1t was customs
airy years ago to have carriages occupy
the open space back OF center field un-
I'll q runaway caused the abandonment
Of the idea. Now 1t has been decided
to use the space for autos so that the
autoist may bring his own grandstand
along with him and place It In center
field Tickets for space for an auto in
this vantage spot and also allowing as
many as FIVE persons in the auto to sec
the game are being sold at $40 each.
About half Of these have already been
sold.
IA practical demonstration of the new
idea to test it's working out was made
Wednesday at the Brown game by
Winthrop G. Bushnell. Mr.. Bushnell
drove his big touring car In along the
route laid out and anchored In center
field where he witnessed the game and
announced that he had a fine view Of
every play In the game. The autos
will enter the field at the entrance near
st. Lawrence cemetery and will como
along by the football stands and UNI
der them out onto the baseball field.
The idea should prove great success.
About $4,000 worth OF autos are ex-
pected to be in the ceater field garage
during the game tomorrow.
The Yale team will present the same
lineup as against Brown on Wednes-
day. They will start out after Heynin-
ger from the word play" and will en-
deavor to get him going before he set
ties lown to his brilliant work which
usually takes him about four innings.
The Yale team will take no practice to>
day or at least not moro than Light
practice. The team will go out to the
Country club Saturday morning and re-
main out there until time to go to tho
field. In the pitching department
Howard Jones will start work. Yale
has several pitchers who are good for
part of game but no one who can be
depended upon for full game and 1t
is planned to have them help each 9th
er out in the big game. Jones Will
probably pitch about four innings or
possibly five after which Van Week
will go In II he is not In top notch
form he will be succeeded by Rose be-
fore the end OF the game. The Princes
ton team will practice In Princeton to-
day and win spend the night in New
York. They will come up early In the
morning. Fourteen men will be brought
along In the squad. They will also be
accompanied by about 50 rooters who
will form their cheering section.
The betting on the tickers on tho
game at present is TWO to one on Price,
ton but the Yale men are determined
to go In with the bull dog grit and are
hopeful Of upsettlng the calculations Of
the sharks.
