BY Tho United Press.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Nov. is
The Tiger roared forth from his jun
gle and met the Bulldogs ON Yale
field today
New Haven was packed with visi-
tors Tor the classic annual battle Of the
animals. Betting favored Yale's foot
ball squad by 6 to though the loyal
followers of Princeton were not
aHcrse to wagering their money in
goodly sums ON the chances of Old
Nassau Betting was livelior than
for many years past for Yale men
we're confident of victory and Prince
ton men believed the Tigers chances
were better than for several sea-
sons
Victory in todays contest meant
that either Yale or Harvard undoubt-
edly would be the big four" cham
pion Of 1911 and two more determined
teams never met on the gridiron.
Rain and wind most of the night
made conditions for the game any
thing but cheerful. The field was al
ready soaked and tho forecast was
that there would be no change in the
weather before the game.
Princeton has not beaten Yale since
1908, when the great Dewitt tore
great holes in the Blue line Prince
ton had another Dewitt today and the
"hunch" player got down strong on
the top
Two teams more physically ft never
met on the gridirOn than the squads
that represented Yale and Princeton
in today's contest Even the famous

to admit in advance the Blue men

coaches even boasted of the physical
prowcss of their charges

would be the closest ever fought be-
tween the aged rivals and predicted a
