TIGERS CONFIDENT
In THEIR LAIR
Team and Cheer Leaders Ready
to Play Themselves Off
Their Feet.
Time

PRINCETON, N. j.. Nov 12.--Princeton
Is ready for Yale. The Tiger football
tenn had its last rehearsal I'm the Palms
OF Stadium this afternoon in prepara-
tion for the contest of tomorrow, ana
after the workout was over Bill Roper
expressed himself as being thoroughly
81 tisfied with the condition and the
ability OF his charges. The practice
ltrted barely half an hour, for 1t was
cold and snow was in the air. and tho
Nassau mentor was willing to take NJ
chances on any of his pupils developing
such last minute cold as last year al
most deprived the brilliant Maury Trim
BILE of his chance to shine against the
Els
The team ran through the plays that
they Will spring on the invaders to-
borrow with lot Of speed and pre-
cision, of which a good deal was un-
derbtedly due to the cold, and it was
Lot long before Roper ordered them to
tire showers. The Tigers have had a
hard practice week and to-day's rest
should give them just about the right
e,lge for the supreme test of the year.
The team that will face the Ellis will
probably be the same that took the field
At Cambridge last week.
Princeton town tonight Is pervaded
by a quiet confidence in the lighting
captain Of her fighting team" There Is
overconfidence evident on the Campus.
The team will go down to the Stadium
and play itself off its feet. The final
message of Roper to the student body
was, And 1 demand that the students
go down and cheer themselves off their
feet. With that combination, and with
that combination alone. we will win"
The Yale team Is expected to arrive
here at 10 40 Saturday morning. and
r,,tJI he .taI oNn
ton straight to their headquarters.
After this they will probably warm up
briefly in the Stadium and accustom
themselves to the turf and air currents
peculiar to the big arena. The influx
of cheerers had already reached consid-
cradle proportions at 8 o'clock this even
ing, many guests having come early,
being attracted by the many varied
doings that all go to make this the one
really big week end Of the college year.
Twelve thousand applications for tick
cts to the game have been turned down.
1t was announced at the Athletic Asso-
citation office tonight. which is being
completely swamped by the demand for
the coveted pasteboards. This surplus
Is above and beyond the 10000 addi-
tional seats that have been constructed
at the open end Of the field and on the
promenade around the top of the huge
concrete horseshoe. These temporary
wooden stands bring the total capacity
of the Stadium up to nearly $4,000 spec
tators.
