PRINCETON, Nov. 1.-None Is more
deeply interested in the game between
Princeton and her old enemy and
many times her conqueror, Yale, than
DR.. Woodrow Wilson. His sweeping
triumph as the Democratic candida te
for Governor is taken as a good augur,
and the team left for its final tuning
up at Georgian Court for the game to-
morrow filled with a do or die spirit
after listening to DR. Wilson's words
of encouragement.
With the sharp November wind whip
ping his ulster. f1ag-like, and tugging
at his hat Dr. Wilson watched the
final practise here. His eyes cleaned
and his hands gripped into fists as the
squad dashed through play after play.
The spirit of enthusiasm found express

which he told the team that Prince
ton was entitled to victory and could
not be denied. He ceased to be gov
ernor-elect and became President. Will

his boys away to whip Yale
Muddy and tousled the men listened.
and the hope in DR.. Wilson's face was
reflected in theirs, but beneath it all
was a feeling of sadness. The students
realized that they were losing a presf-
dent and he that had been called to a
wider field.
Dr. Woodrow Wilson is already be-
ginning to realize that he belongs to
the public and that the peace and quiet
and privacy of his former life ha i,
been torn from him
This morning the Governor-elect
said: Il have been trying to snatch
little rest, but between answering the
large number of telephone calls, greet
ing p sonal friends and replying to
the hundreds of kilograms and letters
from every section of the country I
scarcely am able to get any time to
myself. My only~~hope for a little
respite is to get sway for short vaca-
ton. and | admit 1 really feel the need
of 1T, for | am very tired
! One thing is evident-that while DIR.
Wilson remains here there will be no
cessation to the demands that will be
! made of him. Princeton men can
scarcely realize that their strong and
able president has actually severed his
connection with the great university.
Princeton Feels Its Loss.
Now that Princeton actually is to
| lose him, the circles of the university
are awakening to the full sense of that
| loss Trustees, fellow professors and
students are hearty in their words of
commentator, and all are unanimo. !;
| that q brilliant and useful career
awaits this mature man of 81 years as
| he becomes the pilot of the State of
| New Jersey and one of the new and
| trusted pilots of the national Democ-
racy, in whose future councils he will
play leading role.
Today's issue of the Daily Prince
| tonian contained an eulcgistic editorial
upon DR.. Wilson.
Woodrow Wilson's every 1rt since
his triumphant election has been char
acteristic of that innate and beautiful
modesty which captivated every per-
son who met him at any time during
the weeks of the campaign.
There have been very few teleph me
calls of congratuation from his hun
dreds of friends and acquaintances that
he has not answered in person.
In several conversations Governor
elect Wilson has expressed his grati-
| tude at the well-nigh unanimous in
dorsement he was given.
Carries Seventeen Counties.
| The fact that the majorities against
him. both in Cape May and Salem
counties, were infinitesimal, AMI that
Passaic county paid it's compliment to
popular native son, leaving only At
lantic and Camden counties, with their
questionable methods, aligned against
him and deaf to his earnest appeals,
gives the coming governor the indorse-
ment of seventeen out of the twenty
! one counties he visited.
| No governor has ever taken the oath
of office with a greater consciousness
that he is the governor of all of the
people of New Jersey than will Wood
row Wilson in the second week in
January. And he faces the future
with a strong hope and earnest pur-
pose, because he is fortified for his
tasks with the conviction that he pos
sesses both the confidence and SYM
pathy of the citizens of New Jersey.
