PRINCETON. N. j., Nov. Is
Folks out Kansas way rush for

on Its own happy hunting
grounds, and early indications are
that nice time win be mad by
all. 1t was ever thus.
Princeton and Yale have been
meeting on the gridiron almost an
nually since 1873, and seldom, .f
ever before, has the outcome been
In greater doubt. The Tiger, after
ian Indifferent early season, was a
literal cyclone against Harvard last
week. Yale, indicated this season,
although outplayed in the majority
Of its games, is alleged to have
mustered the well and widely
known alright defense for the
present occasion. Eut the general
belief that there is modicum OF
air in cyclone has made the Tiger
a 6-to-5 favorite and not without
reason.

the variety and punch that eea-

week ago today. The only Iues.
I tiOns therefore, was whether
PrincetOn's cyclone was still ca.
vOrting about or had blown itself
out In one afternoon.
There being no adequate pre-.
game answer to this question,
popular interest in fhe proceedings
has mounted to a point all out If
proportions to the size Of the local

Yale's advantage was that Il

Another Yale advantage was more
