down upon the Jersey town early TO,
day. Special trains carried many New
arkers. Others took advantage of the
day and motored to the scene of bat
tie. The historic town was a humming
beehive of activity today.
Many an impromptu race took place
On the country roads as the occupants
of rival machines sighted one another
There was an unusual lack of bet
ting. The Yale men demanded such
big odds that Princeton refused the
hazard Odds OF to was the only
bet that Yale men would take.
The Yale team was given a rousing
send-off yesterday afternoon when It
left New Haven for New York, where
the squad remained at the Murray Hill
Hotel over night. The Ellis were due
at Princeton at IL o'clock this morn
ing, some fifty-ffve men being included
in the party. Twenty-Five Of these
players made the journey to New York
last night, while the remainder Joined
the team this morning. The Princeton
team arrived an hour earlier from
Lakewood.
After a night of merriment and cele-
bration in which hundreds of gradll-
ates and undergraduates alike partici-
pated, Princeton awoke today more
confident of winning the annual foot
ball game with Yale than the orange
and black has been since 1906, when
the memorable naught TO naught con-
test was fought on University Field
With long string of reverses in mind
dating back to the fall of 1904, the
supporters of the New Jersey institu-
tion expected the team to win at last
from their rivals today, not only be-
cause OF the fact that tbs Yale team
had been beaten twice this season, but
largely on account of the excellent
record of Captain Eart's eleven, which
had not been scored on up to this
time.
With the ground cold and dry and
faster than II has been in years for a
Princeton game, an open contest
with spectacular play was looked for
from the start. Pendheton's remark
able work in the open field this season,
which has brought him to the fore in
Princeton's hall of fame, was expected
to be conspicuous again today, largely
because of the excellent condition of
the gridiron. Prinoeton's prospects, in
deed, have in the last few years hinged
to a great extent on having a dry field,
as the Princeton style OF play has fos-
tered a variety OF end play and speedy
interference which has been sadly
squelched by Yale, because of superior
weight and weather conditions that
favored her opponent.
Princeton has, with the exception of
last year given Yale hard battle ever
since 1903, when Captain John Dewitt
drop kicked Tiger victory.
Fitzpatrick a Tower of Strength.
The games IN 1906. 1907 and 1908 were
particularly close The addition OF Kill
patrick to the Yale lineup today
caused not a little anxiety in the
Princeton camp. because Princetonians
have not forgotten the smashing tackle
which he inflicted on Princeton's light
back field last season at New Haven
Princeton again has light back field
and has all season been dependent on
putting the opposing ends out of tho
play by we1l-concentrated interference.
Elbow room for Pendleton has been
forced by this means in almost every
game, but the placing of Fitzpatrick on
one extremity of the Yale line lent
somewhat different prospect to the
chances OF the local team. The placing
of l1istler at fuilback In the Yale line
up, announced as positive early today,
presented no small surprise. as he has
been substitute all season. The en-
