WHAT IT IS LIKE
 AT PRINCETON Greatest Day of Year at Old Nassau When Ellis Blow in for Their Regular Foot
 ball Game.
DESCRIPTION OF CAMPUS
Prettier Layout Than at New Haven, But It Is Hard Place in Which to Get Bite
 to Eat.

the largest and most picturesque crowds that the quaint Jersey village has ever seen, The sight of the throngs of eaily dressed young mn and their fair companions is one that time will never eliminate from the memory
 Princeton Is an ideal place for such a tnrong. The campus is spread out over considerable more ground than that given to the Yale campus, The buildings are less handsome In them, selves than those here, but are more in harmony with ach other and with the surroundings Aa d result, the eve. changing kaleidoscope oa color as tn groups move through the campus are well set eff oy the groys and browns Y pf the buldngs set off by the remnant bf gr en grass and the hare trees with their prophecy of coming winter,
 The field itself is loss prosac than he one in New Haven that will ba q. \, scene of the Yale Harvard game g E, elk from now. The stands q. Prln lon arc capable of seating aaout 3o,GO3. pf these, the larger part are on the Eides parallel with the length of the ield, while the seats hack tre E)aI bosts do not run as high OF contain as many in proportion as tho long stands )n the weat side, where the Yale seats nd Eli cheering section are located, he stands run up thirty-two rows in eighth, back of them being the press tand This stand is permanent, and ia sed as a center field hleacher for the asehall games It is in this stand hat all Of tho masquerading class a, he commencement day baseball game 'ith Yale sit
 The other three stands on the foot all field are erected each time Yale oes to Princeton, but not on the in arvenng years As they are tenn, orary stands, they arc not as high a- le other side. They are taken down oon after the Yale game.
 Back of the east stand Is tho house sed as a dressing place by the team. Is a pretty one-story r q stone Iiding and is in view of the people the upper seats in the west stand. There Is always one very unpleasant ature of the game in Princeton and rat is the lack of accommodation that ere Is for a crowd of visitors. The Undergraduates and their friends occu- every available room in the hotels nd clubs, and SO an outsider has no lance to stay there over night. A sculiar custom at Princeton Is that ny graduate can occupy the room he i'd while at college For instance, if )ggs of the class of 1904. who one. ed in Nassau hall, takes 1t into his ad to spend a night in his old room tn two friends, he merely notifies -e occupant that he wants the room d the occupant has to vamoose metimes there are dozen men after f same room which they once had lle first conner gets first choice, but q has to put up all the others that 4 n be accommodated in the under ades quarters. The result is thai gre are numberless undergradua te' 10 journey to Prnceton junction and enton for the night before and the ! ght after the game
 FAnother inconvenience met with al 9h Jersey town is that there is nc g'lce that an outsider can go 10 get good square meal, the only public A ce in town being the hashery or uE main street wherein one may pur ,ise sandwiches and pie Other viand' Il be had at Nassau Inn If one is able p'r get within ten miles of the door
 this place Is too popular, and thc i,;ly corners are In sufficient numbers q engage all the tables for hours.
 N he graduates and undergraduate. I le the same troubles in even worse T;rees. Everyone who is anybody al mceton has belonged to one of theii G-bs These are the scene of prandla Z ,rts on the part of every active nnt l mer member of each club and they Itt patiently for hours for a chance fget to the remnants of dinner tha' ~, not eaten by the first corners who 9litably seem to have arrived thu fht before at the tables Many ( Eminent graduate has waited for { ce at table until the time of com facemcnt of the game, and has ther lt with a grouCh without lunching q wonder Yale beats Princeton SC aeilily each year. The Princeton mer ,3'all to hungry to root with vim fol

 gut that touches on another ques e.a \. iball game at Princeton Is the won l''ul singing of the Tiger cohorts 'iy seem to be very nightingales ant ;ftr unison is excellent for such ie body of men, Their snappy loco Hive yell is as effective as the Yal' IIrog chorus When the derisiv' llr "Undertaker Song" Is fired a '!ceton with its expression that tn, lie crowd are about ready for buria
 r meeting the Blue attack, th' i ceton men come back with q sont as derisive about the way th' IF will lick his chops after a squar, 'f off of the Bulldog Tn the line O 'h,h songs, Princeton's "Cannor

 the natural gift of swinging theii yts, arms, and sWaying their whole Ies in a way that leads the time
 spirit of the songs and cheers.
 whole, the trip to Princeton is that la well worth talln1 ar p,,,t
