were in the game. Yale demonstrated
that she has good football team
and that she will give Harvard a
good battle, but ii is very doubtful
if she will win over the Crimson
team next Saturday. The Ellis were
we'll drilled in what are known as
the spectacular plays in the game.
They had the double pass and the
triple pass and the single pass
and the forward pass down fine.
Their skill was apparent and
their plays were beautifully exc
cuted. When Yale was strong,
Princeton was weak, both in offense
! and defense. But Princeton, at
straight football, showed more force,
more ability, more power to gain
ground than any football team this
year. The Tigers worked the Ellis
off their feet in that last fifteen min
utes OF blood tingling struggle and
no greater finish, though losing I'm
ish, was ever seen on gridiron be-
fore. Princeton was beaten, but not
disgraced, and her defeat is perhaps

The six-day race is with us again.
1t is the same old thing, only some
things are not happening this year
that have happened for years and
years. The riders are behind the
, worlds record, and the records for
watches stolen, overcoats appro-
priated and gang fights have also
fallen by the wayside. Those who
have been to the Garden other years
and who were not there at the open
ing will be surprised at the numerous
changes-and all for the best-all for
the comfort and convenience of the
patrons and for their safety and ease
of mind. There is nothing to fear at
the Garden now. You couldn't get
robbed If you wanted to. for you

it was tried. A famous old actor
tried his best to get touched" in
order to get come advertising out of
the robbery, burt, after hours of effort,
he gave 1t UP as bad job and told
the story on himself. The courtroom
man is doing very little business.
The patrons say; What's the use of

The Garden has surely changed
during the six-day times and the
way the race is being conducted is
the talk Of New York. The bad
men, are seen, of course, and say 1t

Wellman, who is looking after this
end of the game. assures me that
Madison Square will be the purest
place on earth during the remaining
days of the grind. This same Well
man Is a marvel. 1 referred to him
as "Old Bill'' before, but he is only
a boy In years, but he has the nerve
and the pluck of man. He also
has a head and he knows things and
thing wonderful with the six-day
race this year. He has made 1t pos

any one knew. Today it Is a desir-
able place of amusement. Wellman
is the man who brought all this
about, and New York and Newark,
too, should tender him a vote of
thanks. They told him-the "guerii-
las" themselves and the men who
feared the 'guerillas'-that he
couldn't do it. Yet he stands right

commands the situation every min

The race itself is the same old
thing. The riders go around and
around and around, and they
will keep on going until the
end until next Saturday night
The race this year-at least
that is the way it seems. so far-is
going to be more spectacular than
ever. For one thing, there is going
tc be more sprinting. This will come
about through .the offering of
primes to tho riders for INDUCING
in mile race every now and then.
"Ten for ten" is a favorite in the
Garden. This means that after a
pistol shot a race is on for ten laps,
and the leader will receive a ten
dollar bill. The management, It is
presumed, will be liberal in offering
| primes" although the snectatnrs
