cornell tomorrow.
New Haven, Conn, Nov. ia
mighty throng of followers OF the col
ors OF Yale and Princeton is pouring
into this city i'm anticipation OF to-
morrow's game which will award foot
ball honors to one or the other uni
versity. Hotels. clubs. fraternity houses
and private residences have been open
ed for the accommodation of the Wis
iting classmen and graduates, and
every train from east and west is
adding to the crowd.
The game will be the most impor-
tant to be played here this season.
Practically every ticket for the field
has been taken, and II is evident that
the Yale stands will hold a record
breaking crowd tomorrow afternoon.
Coaches on both sides are expressing
confidence in the result. Yale is Il
favorite in the wagers. many bets of
to l being offered on her chances.
A glance at the full record OF the
Yale Princeton games in the past
shows how hard fought they were,
with their close scores and the re-
markable number OF tallies by the los
ing team. The record for the past 33
years is as follows:-
In the games which have been play
ed in the last 33 years, Yale has tri-
umphed over the Tigers twenty times,
the teams have played four tied
games, and Princeton has. nine times
bested the warriors OF old Eli.
IntersectionaI Games.
Chicago, Nov. 1.-Two important
intersectional football games will be
played tomorrow, Michigan battling In
its annual struggle with Pennsylvania
in Philadelphia while Chicago will
go to Ithaca to meet Cornell.
Michigan has never yet beaten the
Quaker eleven. although the Maize and
Blue has come close to victory twice
in the four games played. The first
meeting between the Ann Arbor team
and the Red and Blue was I'm 1899 in
Philadelphia. That was desperate
encounter and ended IL to 10 in favor
of the Quakers. Seven years elapsed
before there was another trial at ar
rangements and this time the combat
took place at Ann Arbor. The east
erners easily defeated Yost's team,
II to 0.
That was the beginning of the an
,nual clash between these teams. For
years it has been the ambition of the
big schools of the middle west to get
annual contests with the leading teams
OF the east, that thorough trial
may be made of the respective merits
OF football played In these two
sections of the country.
Pennsylvania was victorious again
in 1907, the game being played this
time on Franklin field, Philadelphia.
The score was to 0 and Vest thought
the officials had given decisions against
his team that cost the Wolverines the
victory.
Last year the Quakers again came
west, playing Michigan at Ann Arbor,
but the victory was easier than any
previous ones-20 to 0.
What these two teams can do against
each other on Saturday is difficult
to foretell. Both have been in and
out OF the present campaign. Penn |
sylvania has shown flashes of great
strength. But the same must |
be said of Michigan. The Wolverines
barely nosed out a victory over Mar
quette, 6 to 5, and then turned around
and beat Syracuse 80 to 0. That little |
battle made the Maize and Blue look
like one of Yosts oId-time scoring
but along came Notre Dame
and knocked all the hopes of the nom
championship out of the
heads of the Ann Arborites.
Wisconsin Minnesota.
Madison, Nov. 1.-THE most i'm
portant game scheduled in the west
ern football conference tomorrow Is
that between the University of Wis
consin and the University of Mime
sofa. The result of this contest viii
settle the conference championship for
mother year. as neither team has been
defeated. Although Minnesota is adj
strong this year. and the Bad
gers have been considered hopelessly
weak, the contest is sure to be an
wen struggle. A glance at the foot
,all records of these two institutions

'onsin contingent. Never has Mime
