All roads In Jersey led to Princeton
today, where the SONS of Nassau and
the Bulldogs of Yale meet on the grid
iron In their annual football game.
Over 1000 automobiles went through
Newark today ON the way to the gande.
have been made with
the local police SO that the autos from
other states were not held up. They
were allowed to get their licenses MT
the automobile club in this city, instead
Of Being taken to the police station In
case they had no license.
Thirty thousand persons or more
will witness the struggle, while an
army of alumni scattered among every
State in the Union and every country
on the globe will wait with keen in
terest the outcome.
Quietly. almost secretly, the Tiger
team arrived at Princeton shortly be-
fore noon from Camp Hill, near Phila-
delphia, where 1t had been rusticatinR
for the last few days in preparation
for the great contest. The home corn
ing was lacking the demonstration
which the Princeton people would have
liked to make, but the coaches insisted
on shielding the men from excitement
until they go on the field.
The Yale team arrived at Princeton
about noon. just as quietly as the
Princeton team.
Scores of special trains poured thou
sands of persons into Tigertown from
early morning until the beginning of

Market street depot, this city, on sew
eral special trains.
Two Newark Tigers.
Newark has the proud distinction OF
having two men on the Tiger varsity
this year, Dowd at end and Feigen-
span at full Both are former Newark
Academy stars, and great things are
expected of them on university field
this afternoon.
The coaches had not announced that
Feigenspan would play at full until
last night, and the knowledge caused
more or less surprise. But he has
been playing a fine game for the last
week or two, and has qualities which
give him the preference over McCrohan,
although the latter has more weight
and makes a fierce attack.
More speculation has existed as to the
outcome of the great contest this year
than ever before. The undergrads
frankly confess that they do not know
anything definite at all about their
team, and are even bit disappointed
about it.
They think that they ought to be
taken into the confidence of the coaches
to some degree and be given chancs
to dope the contest beforehand. But
they have not had the slightest chance
to do so, so they are pinning their faith
to the possibility that Head Coach w.
w Roper has something up, his sleeve.
The capacity of the grand stands is
about 32,o0O and every seat will be
taken Yale will have host of sup
porters here to make the weil<in ring
with famous "Boola' and the Under
taker'' song
Local People at Game.

Orient: Josiah Baldwin and friends, OF

took a party of friends to the game N
his auto.
An interesting incident, and one that
creatly amused all who saw it, occurred
at II a. M on upper Broad street. wnen
a full dozen of cars, some of which
carried the blue of Yale and few the
orange and black of Princeton. swung
in quick succession from Broad street
into Washington street.
Two pretty girls. standing in front
of the Public Library. started cheer
for old Nassau, and this was taken up
by the occupants of the cars bearing
Princeton's colors An answering yell
of defiance echoed back from the Yale
contingent and this WAS repeated as
each car swung into view and disap-
peared in a cloud of dust down the
street.
Long before the time set for tha
great encounter thousands of persons
made, themselves hoarse shouting coli
