+. c. team closes it's season with the
game against the Princeton 1921 r. o.
T. @. team before a crowd sure to
pass 10000 people.
DR.. Brides last night announced
that there was no change from the
lineup given out Thursday, but that
If possible during the game many
substitutes would be sent in to get
their insignia. because Of the consci-
entious work done during the fall
when there was so little interest in
football here.
Scores of graduates are back in
town today. though. of course, moth
ing to compare with the number that
has been here in former years for a
real, big game. Practically all the
hotels were filled last night, many
making the occasion one for the re-
union with the large number of Yale
and Princeton graduates and under
graduates who are now in the ser
vice in various camps and naval
bases of the East. all of whom have
been invited to come here as guests
OF the MANAGEMENT today.
The game will be preceded by a
drill by members Of the r. o. T. C..
and the students who preferred naval
to artillery training. There was an
inspection of the new Yale artillery
armory at Yale Field this morning
and smoker will be held there in
the afternoon after the game. In

period of the game.
There were many Informal reunions
last night. but uniforms were every
where and occupied the chief place at
them. In the society house of the
scientific school there were informal
dances last night. and today there
will be the usual teas which follow a
big game.
The university professors and I'm.
dergraduates alike have done every
thing to make today like the day OF
big game in peace times.
Graduates of ten years ago are in
terested in Dimes. the left halfback of
the varsity eleven. His brother, Ty-
SON Dimes. ranks high with the great
ouarterbacks, Of Yale. He had the
misfortune to be in Yale IN exactly
the same playing period as did Tad
Jones. and in the annals OF football
Jones naturally stands out as the
great quarter of that time. But thu
rub between Jones and Dimes was
close, and though Jones was the var.
sity quarter Dimes always got in the
big games for part of the period.
The younger Dimes is the regular left
half.
Nephews Of Tom Shevlin and Fudge
Hefelfnzer will get in the game.
In contrast to previous years when
the nebers of the Yale teams have
been wrapped up in cotton and sent
up to the Yale infrmary for the
nighe. the members of che squad lase
nfshe received some straight-from
the-shoulder advice from Brides and
Johnny Mack. and were told to go to
bed early and at what time to report
today. They went away from the
meeting In their military uniforms.
