EDWARDS BARRED
 FROM PRACTICE
Big Bill" Is Not Allowed at
 Secret Workout of Tigers

Princeton. Nov 17.--Head Coach
 Bill Roper put up the bars at the en-
 trance to varsity field for the final
 scrimmage before the Yale game yes-
 terday afternoon and excluded all
 newspaper men. So 'airtlght" was
 the lookup" that even Big Bill Ed
 wards who has ben faithful spec
 tator at practice during the past two
 weeks, was turned away and had to
 glean what dope he could from con-
 versatlon with the coaches later.
 The cool snap yesterday afternoon
 permitted one Of the snappiest prac-
 tice tits the Tigers have had this season. Coach Nat Poe gave his
 Omelettes the ball on the 5o-yard line, and using Yale Plays the plucky scrubs attacked the varsity line sav- agely. They gained little, however and frequently plays were smeared be- hind their own line.
 Bill Moore. star halfback on the 1916 Tiger eleven, assisted the scrubs on the offense, but even he had little effect upon the varsity defense. Many of the Ell plays were aerial and the Orange and Black backs showed themselves well schooled in breaking up passes.
 The offense of the varsity worked smoothly during the scrimmage and 1t is understood that some very attrac- tive plays were given their last trial by Roper before he sends Johnny German in to campaign against the Ellis Saturday. German was at quar- more relieving him for short time. 3 Lineup Remains Unchanged i, The lineup of the varsity was the same as that of the whole week and is probably the outfit which will start Saturday. Gray and Stout, ends; Treat and Baker, tackles; Dickinson and Howard, guards; Afford. center; German, quarter; Crnm, Cleaves, Caldwell. backs. Snively was used at xuard during the course of the after noon.
 Last night the varsity squad went into seclusion at the Charter club and will be quartered there again this eve ming. The Yale squad arrived here this afternoon in time for final workout in Palmer stadium and will spend the night In Trenton.
 {, The anxiety expressed lest yester- days rain spoil the playing surface of Palmer stadium passed quickly. The stadium is drained by vast network of pipes. so that even should an ex- ceptionally heavy rain be experienced but shortly before the Yale- Princeton game, the turf would be in good enough condition to play on within I few hours after the storm was over. Prepare to Handle Crowd. Due to the throng that will be in town for the game Saturday it has been found necessary for the univer- sitY authorities to adopt strict regula- lions. At least 55,000 persons will the game and unless these are followed out the con- fusion will be unmanageable. { Tn order to avoid the usual last minute rush the spectators are asked to get to their seats as early as pos sible. The gates will open at 12;30 D. m. and the game will start at 2 1 o'clock. Each ticket holder will aid khe ushers by entering his own portal, which is designated on the ticket. All spectators are asked to remain In their seats between halves.
 The bureau of student employment Is in charge of the official parking places and is planning to look after several thousand automobiles. All of ficial parking places are close to the football field.
 Musical clubs of Yale and Prince | ton will give joint concert in Alex 1, ander hall tonight and the annual senior promenade will follow in the | gymnasium. The Yale Princeton SOC ger game will be the chief attraction Saturday morning and the football game in Palmer stadium in the aft will be followed in the eve hing by another dance in the gym nasium.
