football elevens OF Princeton and
Yale universities Will meet IN the
the teams of the famous institutions.
History and tradition has for years
figured In the athletic contests OF
these rivals until with the prestige OF
several decades the annual gTidiron
battle has developed into football
classic famed in college song and
story With such setting the game
rises above the mere meeting OF
twenty-five trained athletes and be-
comes part of the life and records OF
the two great universities, whose sons
grapple on the morrow.
In honor of the occasion the alum
nj and undergraduates OF Both Yale
and Princeton are gathering here
tonight by thousands, in order that
they may be present at the test Of
football prowess which marks the
climax of another year of interyarsity

the usual laying of freak bets, which
hinge on the size of the score method

The demand for tickets far exceeds
the capacity Of the Yale field stands,
and the few coupons that have found
their way into the hands of speculat-
ors are being quoted at many times

passing of Yale Field as the scene of
these great inter-varslty contests. Be
