PREPARATION AT PRINCETON,
Team Definitely Settled--Drilling in
Individual and Team Work.
Princeton, Noy. 8.—Princeton has
played her last game before she meets
Yale on the 20th. The Lafayette game
on Saturday was the last of the season
but one. In that game the fondest
hopes of Princetonians were surpassed.
When the news came to Princeton two
weeks ago that Pennsylvania had de-
feated Lafayette by 46—o0, Princetonians
were unanimous in agreeing that
Princeton would not be able to dupli-
cate the performance. The first half
of Saturday’s game did not tend to dis-
pel that belief, but in the second half
and particularly toward the close of it
Princeton simply surpassed herself.
The players saw that they could beat
Pennsylvania’s score and they went in
with heart and soul to do it.. Such fast
football was never “before seen on
Princeton’s gridiron, and. when the
score reached 57 the undergraduates
and players were full of enthusiasm.
This is the highest score of the season.
AS TO TEAM WORK.
But to the outlook. A great deal
‘remains to be done by Princeton’s
eleven during the coming two weeks.
The personnel of the team that will
meet Yale is practically settled, and all
attention from now on will be put upon
team work and the development of the
“eleven men in every play’ idea.
Princeton will send a very good team
to meet Yale, but it will not be an
eleven that could have defeated the
Ninety-Six team. Even a surplus of
“veterans” cannot always be made into
a superlatively strong eleven.
PERSONNEL OF ELEVEN.
This is the team. that, barring
accidents, will line up on the Yale
Field, November 2oth: l.e, Creigh;
Pe tity |e Crowdis: 2 c..- Boor;
r.g., Edwards; r.t., Hillebrand; r.e.,
Socnran; -d. b.,:-baitd;:. 1,1. 'b.,. Ban-
nard; r.h.b., Reiter; f.b., Wheeler.
It will thus be seen that two of the best
men will not be able to line up. Kelly
and Armstrong are both in the hospi-
tal, and it is not likely that either of
them will be able to participate in the
Yale game. Kelly’s place will be very
capably filled by Reiter, who is really
the best half-back at Princeton to-day,
but Edwards is not a player of Arm-
strong’s ability.
Baird is a great success at quarter-
back, and he and Wheeler work togeth-
er excellently. Baird has improved very
much in his punting of late, this not-
withstanding the apprehension felt in
the early season that he could not
duplicate his work of last season in this
respect. Baird will do all the kicking
for Princeton.
The line is comparatively strong, al-
though it is weak at several points.
Creigh and Holt are not nearly up to
University playing form as yet. Bro-
kaw, of last year’s team, will coach
Creigh right up to the Yale game,
while Lea, captain of the Ninety-Five
team, will be here for ten days to coach
the tackles. Crowdis is in about the
same form as last. year—strong in de-
fense, but not. so much so in offense.
Booth. has improved greatly at center,
and though. he. will not be Gailey’s
equal, he will make it interesting for
the player opposite him. Edwards is an
old Lawrenceville guard and knows the
position, but is too. clumsy to be very
effective. Hillebrand and Cochran are
both playing a strong game.
The last week’s practice has brought
about a gradual improvement in team
play, especially along the line of inter-
ference. The men are putting oppo-
nents out of. the way when they strike
them, consequently there is less of the
tackling from behind, which has pre-.
vented so many long gains in games.
The formations, start quickly, move
quickly when under way and are harder
to break up than they have been at any
previous time this Fall. The forwards
are beginning to divine the direction
and point of attack of an opponent’s
play, and every man gets into a. play
and works until the ball is downed.
INDIVIDUAL COACHING.
This week. the individual men will be
coached very carefully. Before lining
up each day, the University team will
be divided into groups and drilled by
coaches who are the most competent
that can be: had. The. center rush,
quarter-back, half-backs and full-back
will constitute one squad; the tackles
and ends another, while the guards will
be in another. Balliet, ’94, and Prof.
Fine will watch the work of Booth,
Smith, °*97, . will’ cdach’ ‘Baird; while
Alex. Moffatt, ’84, Dougal. Ward, and
John Poe, ’95, will coach..the other
backs. Frank’ Morse, ’95, Brokaw, ’97,
McCaulay, Warren, Holly, W. Church,
Cook.’ Walter” Cash, .Lea, G6." and
George will also be on the field during
the next ten days. The squad of
coaches at Princeton was never before
so large or so competent.
Two halves of hard practice will be
played every day from now on to the
19th, and much of what the Princeton
team of Ninety-Seven is to be will be
decided by these next ten days of prac-
tice. |

Corporation Meeting.
The regular Fall meeting of the Yale
Corporation was held yesterday after-
noon. By a vote of the Corporation
Dr. Lafayette B. Mendel was promoted
to an assistant professorship in Phy-
siological Chemistry, in which depart-
ment he has been an instructor.
It was decided to establish the de-
gree Master of Science in the Scien-
tific Department. This degree will be
given to graduates of two years stand-
ing who have taken a first degree in
Science and have pursued a_ higher
course of study under the direction of
the governing board. This will in-
volve a year’s residence of. graduate
study.

YALE IN NEW YORK.
The New Club—Class Reunions—
Interest in Football.
During the past week the member-
ship of the new Yale Club has passed
the six hundred mark with many names
still on the waiting list. While this
advance has been most gratifying to
the officers, a still further increase is
looked for in the near future, now that
the younger graduates have returned
to town and see and appreciate the ad-
vantages the club holds out to them.
Indeed it is upon the younger men that
the club now chiefly relies for its new
membership, and no effort is being
spared to make the club especially at-
tractive to them, while at the same time
the claims of the older alumni are not
overlooked. A further increase in the
non-resident membership is also ex-
pected, and indeed ‘should be an as-
sured fact when the conveniences at the
disposal of out-of-town members are
considered. From the outset several
bed-rooms have been set apart exclu-
sively for transient use, and the moder-
ate prices changed for these apartments,
coupled with the excellent situation of
the Club, and the low tariff of the
restaurant, should attract a large mem-
bership of this class. To further aid
in securing this the officers have placed
in operation a cheap cab service in
connection with the club.
THE LIBRARY COMMITTEE.
The appointment of a Library Com-
mittee some time since has given an in-
creased interest to the furnishing of the
house. A donation of Yale memora-
bilia was announced at the meeting of
the council on Monday evening, and
the committee are in hopes that they
will not have to reiterate their appeal.
Among the first contributors to the
library was Mr. Edmund Clarence Sted-
man, ’53, who gave a complete set of
the Hutchinson and Stedman “Library
of American Literature.” For the dec-
oration of the house the Century Com-
pany and Harpers have contributed
loan collections of artists’ proofs by
De Thulstrup and others.
CLASS REUNIONS.
One of the foremost arguments urged
for the formation of the Club was the
need of a suitable place for reunions of
Yale men in New York, and on Satur-
‘day evening last the first of these meet-
ings was held, when between twenty and
thirty members of the Class of Ninety-
Three came together for an informal
meeting. From present indications
Ninety-Seven will be the next class to
hold a smoker, an entertainment of this
kind having been announced for Satur-
day evening, November 27th.
“SINTEREST IN~ THE BIG GAMES.
As a matter of course football is now
the chief topic of conversation at the
Club. In general the showing made by
the team last Saturday has greatly en-
couraged the “faithful” in New York.
For the benefit of those who cannot
see the Harvard and Princeton games
the Club has made special arrange-
ments with the long distance telephone
service to have every play reported
direct from the fields in Cambridge and
New Haven to the large room on the
first floor of the Club, where it will be
announced first and then bulletined.
CLUB NIGHTS.
As previously announced in the
WEEKLY, the question of Winter enter-
tainments is being carefully considered.
As the matter stands at present four
club nights are now assured, but
whether or not this number will be ex-
tended has not as yet been decided by
the council.
NINETY-SEVEN CLASS MEETING. -
A meeting of the alumni of Ninety-
Seven residing in New York and vici-
nity was held at the club house last
Friday evening to take action upon the
death of Theodore Moore Barnes, Jr.
A committee consisting of E. S$. Hark-
ress Rk, deb. Eytus,e &. Day, AL wv.
Lawrence.and E. E. Garrison was ap-
pointed to draw up resolutions. These
will be published in a subsequent issue
of the WEEKLY.

Fire in Welch Hall.
A small fire broke out on Monday
evening a little before eleven in the
basement of the south entry of Welch
Hall. The cause is unknown. The fire
did very little damage beyond destroy-
ing a bicycle which was stored there.
A large number of students gathered in
front of Welch and encouraged the
firemen in their work.
