Princeton and Camp Upton
Will Entertain at the
Polo Grounds
BY Charles A. Taylor

Ihls is Football Day in Greater New
York. Never before has so attractive
a feast been spread hereabouts for the
lovers of the gridiron sport. Ex- Kaiser
Wilhelm Hohenzollern, whose massed
play in Belgium ard France has been
putting an effective damper on foot
ball in these parts for the past two
seasons, will be a mere skeleton at the
feast to-day. II will afford g. fine op-
portunity for football fandom to loosen
its lungs, which have doubtless become
clogged since the fake and the real
celebrations OF the signing OF the
armistce.
The great problem for the follower
of the game is to decide just where he
will get his football meal and do his
celebrating. Service elevens, college
elevens and schoolboy elevens will in
wade every gridiron of the city in this
biggest ever orgy Of football.
Here is part of the menu:
Three Big Games
Polo Grounds, Princeton University
VS.. Camp Upton q p. M Ebbets Field
Rutgers College VS.. Great Lakes Naval
Training Station q p. m) South
Field, Columbia University vs. Wes-
leyan $3.50 p. NJ. The receipts from
the games at the Polo Grounds and
Ebbets Field will go to the United
War Work fund, and it therefore is
especially fitting that soldier and sailor
teams should furnish the competition.
The Camp pton-Princeton clash will
combine the spectacular with the foot
ball. For the first time in years two
yelling contingents of rooters will
parade UP Fifth Avenue on their way
to the game. The wartime touch will
be given the contest by the appearance
of three squadrons OF airships, COM
prising eightyfour fighting airplanes,
which will engage in sham air battle
above the Brush Stadium. Preliminary
to the game Ensign Charley Brckley,
the famous Harvard drop kicker. will
give an exhibition with his educated
toe.
A big inahted canvass punch bail on
which a lfe-size head Of the late
Kaiser is painted, will be let loose
among tho spectators between the
halves and everybody who is at the
game will have chance to punch the
Kaiser to his hearts content-if he
can reach him.
Colonel Albert Sloan. commander Of
Camp pton, and delegation Of 1000
selected soldiers picked for their mill
tary appearance, will occupy the north
stand. The Princeton forces will be in
the south stand. DR.. John Grier Hib-
ben, president Of the university. has
Hylan and other city officials have
been invited.
The Princeton eleven, accompanied
by 600 rooters, will arrive at the Penn
sylvania Station at 10:30 this morning
and will parade through Thirty-fourth
Street to Fifth Avenue, up the avenue
to Fifty-ninth Street, and thence up
Broadway to Sixty-sixth Street, where
they will have luncheon.
The Camp Upton eleven with bat
talon Of rooters will arrive at the
Pennsylvania Station at 1880 this
morning and will parade over the same
route as the Princeton cohorts, headed
by their military band
Daniels at Ebbets Field
Secretary Daniels of the Navy De-
partment will witness the battle at
Ebbets Field. The Great Lakes team
arrived in this city yesterday afternoon
and was driven by members of the
Women's Motor Corps to the home Of
the Crescent Athletic Club in Bay
Ridge, where the players went through
their final workout. The Rutgers
team will arrive here this noon and
make its Headquarters at the Hotel
Bossert. Brooklyn.
The game at South Field will mark
the third successive year that Colum-
bia and Wesleyan have met on the
gridiron. In 1916 Wesleyan won by q
score Of 90 TO 0. and last year the
Connecticut boys squeezed out a
6 to victory. So it is high time the
Blue and White got a taste of revenge
Wesleyan has played five games this
season without meeting defeat. while
Columbia has won its three games.
A comparative line on the teams
is given by the games zach played with
Amherst. Wesleyan defeated the New
Englanders by to o, whereas Colum-
bia rolled up 21 to 0 tally against
the same team. Wesleyan must play
to-day without its Captain, Anderson.
who was transferred to officers train
ing camp early this week.
The best brand of football should h..
displayed at Ebbets Field. The Rut-
gers team. coached by George Foster
Sanford, is the strongest aggregation
OF players in the Eastern colleges and
has had little difficulty In winning from
Charley Brickley's Transport eleven
and Penn State. Pelham Bay gave the
Scarlet team tussle early In the sea-
son, but Sanford did not have his ma
chine working so smoothly at that time
as it is working now. The return of
