D:ton Despite De-Emphasis OF Football Proues Stando
ISELLOUT LOOMS FOR YALE GAME.
 WITH PRINCETON
Close to 3O,O0O Tickets Sold; Weiman Says Elis
 Hopping" Mad

Princeton, N. J., Nov. l2--Attracf~ ed by the strong likelihood that Princeton and Yale will play their best football game against each other since the melodrama of 1886, which the Els won by . 26-to-23 count, nearly 30,000 fans have al- ready purchased tickets for the con~ test which will be staged Saturday at Columbia UniverStty'S Baker Field.
 With the capacity of the Lions den approximately 34,000 when packed, near sell-out already exists and indications are that every seat may be gone by the time the whistle for the opening kickof sounds at 2:45. Acting Director of Athletics osa s. Bushnell reported that the Central Office for Eastern Inter collegiate Athletics, of which he is executive director, has received q large number of requests for tickets apparently because of his Prince. ton connections.
 Yale Hopping Mad"
 As the 66th contest in this long series hears, Tad Wieman continues to worry about the possibility of bringing the Nassau eleven up to the proper mental pitch for the game. Heaven knows the Yale squad has all the incentive 1t needs" he remarked today. Those boys at New Haven are hopping mad at the thought of losing four in @ row to us. We're going to have to play good deal harder on Saturday be- cause of what has happened in recent years"
 The records show that neither Princeton nor Yale has ever downed its traditional rival in five conse- cutive seasons. The Els had Q string of four beginning in 1907 and the Orange and Blacks only similar streak is still intact.
 Not onlyhas Princeton been in what Wieman calls a depression" men, tally for the past two Saturdays, but most of the practices at University Field have been unsatisfactory for one reason or another. For almost the entire week before the Dart mouth game, mid-term examinations prevented turnout of more than two- thirds of the squad on any given day. There is no doubt that the lack of work had it's effect when the Indians ambushed the Tigers in Palmer Stadium last weekend.
 Monday of this week saw no con- tact work, following the hard battle with these Hanover eleven, and on Tuesday a cloudburst turned the field into a quagmire, causing can- collation. of all activities but an tv- tensive blackboard drill. Better weather yesterday allowed an tnten- sive scrimmage for all hands, with plenty of emphasis on passing, but there is no doubt that this series of events has caused the Nassau board of strategy considerable amount of agitation.
 No lineup changes are anticipated for the Tigers. Six members of the line, Karl Harr and Captain Dick Schmon at ends, Bill Morris and Dave Headley at tackles, and Sand Dave Headley at tackles, and Sandy Edwards and Bud Kinniry at guards, have started every one of Prince tons games this year. They'll be in there on Saturday, along with Freshman Frank Perantoni, the 2i0- pound center who won the starting berth a month ago and has played fine football ever since.
 Dick West, Bob Sanbach and Bob perina have also been in at the opening kickoff seven times this year. With Sandbach alternating between left half and full, the fourth member of the ball-carrying quartet his been either George Franke, Dave Marshall or Warren Vieth. Marshall is the most likely bet to face the Ellis.
