THE NEW YORK GAME.
The annual football game with
Princeton will be won or lost, before
ano*her issue of the Weekly. We will
venture to predict nothing, but will
say some things with emphasis. Yale
will go into the game with a team as
well prepared as brains and good
judgment and devotion to the Univer-
sity and hard work can prepare the
best men at present available in the
University. The captain of the eleven
is one in whom every player, every
coach, every student, has implicit
confidence. Strong personal influence
is added to an unusual knowledge of
and ability in the game to make his
control of the men the best. He is
aided by those who have been with
him through hard fights, and by oth-
ers, still new to big battles, who
would give almost anything to aid
him to a victory.
The news columns tell again this
week the familiar story of the de-
votion of Yale graduates to her. Dr.
Hartwell completes now his third
week of continuous service as coach.
It is his vacation this year. The
names of the others who are with
him at the close, or have come up
from time to time through the sea-
son are familiar to all who follow
Yale’s football history with interest.
They have put much of their spirit
and science into the players who
wear the blue stockings.
The team will do its best. We hope
for victory. Win or lose we expect
a creditable record. And we expect,
too, from the players of both elevens,
the kind of football which is worthy
of them as_ representatives of the
Universities of Princeton and Yale.
In the men who meet the Yale play-
ers on Saturday, this University has
found honorable antagonists in va-
rious sports and on the platform.
We trust that the game will at least
have this result—the strengthening of
mutual good will and respect. Hv-
ery player has, to an unusual degree,
the honor of his university in his
hands.

YALE OFFENDS AGAIN,
It is always a pleasure to pick up
evidences of a friendly, generous
spirit from the press of a sister uni-
versity. It is also our aim not to let
pass any bit of writing which has a
particularly keen edge to it. We feel,
therefore, particularly fortunate in
being able to seproduce the following
illustration of a delicate courtesy and
a razor-blade sarcasm. We quote from
the Harvard Lampoon:—
‘How satisfactory it is to win a
game on its own merits and to feel
that every point won is fairly won
and every point lost, fairly lost! Had
the Indians succeeded in breaking our
defence at the five-yard line, and had
they scored their touchdown and its
accompanying goal, we would have
been proud to acknowledge the In-
dians as our betters. But, as it was,
it was of ourselves that we were
proud! And rightly proud!
“It is rumored that the position of
post tradership has been applied for
by a certain prominent member of
Yale College. Of course, certain qual-
ifications are necessary for this po-
sition. We understand that hitherto
the trader has been accustomed to
cheat the Indian, and so derive ad-
vantages, or so-called advantages, for
his fellows, at the expense of the poor
red man. And what is even more dis-
graceful is the fact that in some in-
stances the trader was a supposed
friend and helper of the Indians. Now,
if this worthy representative from
Yale feels himself competent to fill
such a position, or if he can show by
his past record good reasons for his
election, we certainly feel that the
choice would not be an unworthy one.
“Ts there not some connection be-
tween these two, some _ inference
which might be drawn?’
This is very far from cruel. The
execution of the victim is accom-
plished by such a delicate turn of the
rapier, that he must consider it al-
most a pleasure to die in this way.
It is a pity Yale can’t please Har-
vard writers better. She rever has
been able to. If this University is
not causing direct offense in actual
encounter, being forbidden the oppor-
tunity because of fear (on the part
of other than Harvard athletes) of the
contagion of bad manners and morals,
she must needs rasp the tender spirit
of justice of the Cambridge pen-uSers
so unselfishly sensitive to every in-
equity, by unspeakable impositions,
fit only for Turks when “reforming”
the government of Armenia, practiced
on those who have not-yet learned
enough to escape from her. The his-
tory of athletics, as written afore-
times by the pens of Harvard, is one
of the most remarkable compilations
which the college press of the coun-
try could furnish. One about to read
it need not be afraid of being bored
by repetition because he _ already
knows the history of athletics.
However, these things were done,
except in the case of the Lampoon,.
by earlier generations. Besides that
they have never meant anything.
They have been no indication of what
Harvard players and most Harvard
students, knew and felt. These have
probably laughed at them aS much as
Yale men have. bg
But the Lampoon ought to be orig-
inal. The assumptions, on which it
bases its pleasing words, of the de-
sire and practice of Yale men to win
at any cost, and of the indifference
of their Cambridge rivals to. scores,
while holding tenaciously to spotless-
ly pure methods, were wearisome
commonplaces shortly after Jacob
Heminway had enough followers to
make a team.

DISTRIBUTING SEATS.
An Unprecedented Demand for Yale-
Princeton Tickets.
The football management this year
reserved for Yale applicants
a much larger number of
seats than were ever used
before. It seemed sure that the Yale
demand would be met, but when the
applications had closed and the com-
putation was made, it was found that
the demand exceeded the supply by
over eight hundred seats. In the sup-
Ply were counted all accommodations,
in both covered and open _— stands,
though the applications almost invari-
ably called for covered stand seats.
Efforts were immediately made to
make up the deficiency, by requests to
New York and Princeton, and by send-
ing a man to New York to buy up
every ticket in sight. But these ef-
forts still left a shortage of several
hundred tickets and when the distri-
bution was finally made no less than
132 undergraduates were refused any
tickets whatever.
All subscribers to the Yale Alumni
Weekly, whose applications were re-
ceived on time, were given seats.
Every effort possible waS made by the
management to give the subscribers
what they asked for, and when the
limit of the covered stand was
reached, the best open seats possible
were offered.
The football management is mak-
ing every effort this year to keep tick-
ets for the Princeton game from the
hands of speculators. The manage-
ment will therefore buy back all tick-
ets which holders do not wish to use
themselves. If holders wish to dispose
of tickets on the day of the game, they
may leave them with Tyson & Bro.
either at the Windsor or Plaza hotels,
New York.
A record has been kept of the names
of all men to whom allotments of seats
have been made, and if these seats
are found in the hands of speculators
the names of the men who obtained
the allotments will be published.

Kilustrated Art Exhibit.
An exhibition of the works of the
leading illustrators of the day was be-
gun at the Art School, Wednesday
evening. The drawings have been
loaned to the Art School by “The
Century and “Scribner’s’ magazines,
and will be on exhibition for two
weeks, |
In “The Century” division the pict-
ures of Castaigne are most prominent,
including his well known Olympic
scenes as well as sketches of modern
life. Several of Gibson’s drawings and
Frederick Remington’s scenes of cow-
boy life, together with works by
Kenyon Cox, J. Pennell, W. L. Dodge,
G. W. Edwards and G. Gaul make
this section of the exhibition exceed-
ingly attractive.
Among the drawings loaned by
Secribner’s are the illustrations of an
article entitled “A Day at Olympia,”
drawn by Corwin K. Linson. One
curious piece is a print by the famous
Spanish illustrator Vierge, while two
Japanese scenes by Robert Blun are
also unique specimens. Illustrations of
“Old Gardens,’ by M. A. Cowles and
Orson Lowell’s works figure promi-
nently.
Among other artists whose work is
represented are:
Loeb, Guipon, Sterner, Pyle, Thul-
strup, Klepper, G. Cowles, Verbeer,
Lehme, Fraser, Helmick, Wright,
