THE YALE-PRINCETON GAME.
The Line-up—The Officials—Special
Trains To and From New Haven—
Directions for Reaching Field.
The annual Yale-Princeton football
game will be played at the Yale Field
on Saturday afternoon, at two o’clock.
This will be the first championship
match played in New Haven since the
completion of arrangements for college
football games on college grounds, and
hence will mark an important era in the
history of Yale athletics. The final ar-
rangements for disposing of the im-
mense crowds which will assemble
have been completed, and at each uni-
versity, captains and coaches are mak-
ing every effort to add the finishing
touches to their elevens.
The teams will probably line up as
follows:

THE OFFICIALS.
Paul J. Dashiell of Lehigh, who has
been selected to act as umpire, has of-
ficiated in championship games for the
past five years. William Langford of
Trinity, who will act as referee, has
been an official in a number of large
games during the past season, notably
the Princeton-Lafayette game.
The minor officials have not yet been
decided upon.
SPECIAL TRAIN ARRANGEMENTS.
Special trains will run to and from
New Haven on Saturday, as indicated
below:
A train composed of parlor cars will
be run from New York to New Haven
in sections, Saturday morning, the first
section leaving at 10.15. Other New
York specials will be run as sections of
the 10.03 train.
The special New York trains return-
ing, will begin running at about 5.15,
and tle various sections will go as soon
thereafter as they are filled.
The Princeton Club has a special
train leaving New York at 10.35 Satur-
day morning. The Princeton under-
graduates have a special train leaving
New York at 10.40 Saturday morning.
Both of these trains will return shortly
after the close of the game.
A train will be run from Springfield
Saturday morning at 10.15, stopping at
Hartford, Berlin and Meriden. Return-
ing, this train will leave New Haven
at 5.30.
A special train will be run from Stam-
ford, leaving there at 10.45 Saturday
morning, stopping at South Norwalk
and Bridgeport. It will leave here to
return, at 5.20.
Directions,
The gates of the Yale Field will be
open at twelve o’clock.
At noon special cars will leave from
Temple street and the New Haven
House, and will run continuously, as
the size of the crowd requires. The
service will be as satisfactory and com-
plete as it is possible to make it; but
it is urged that those to whom it is
convenient will make an early start.
Carriages will be required to go out
Chapel-street, across West river, Cen-
tral avenue, Perry street and Tryon
street to Derby avenue. No carriages
Prepared at St. Paul’s School.
TALE ALUMNI
will be allowed to go beyond the inter-
section of George street and Derby
avenue.
Each stand will have a s~ecial col-
ored ticket. The color of the East
stand tickets is blue; of the South
stand, yellow; of the North stand, pink;
and of the West stand, green. The
main entrance is so divided that those
having tickets for the East and South
stands will take the road fenced out to
the left, and those having tickets for
the North and West stands will take
the path to the right. In order that
no confusion can possibly take place,
a large corps of policemen will be at
‘hand, to assist in directing the crowd.
Besides the New Haven police force,
which will be sworn in as special con-
stables by the Orange authorities,
there will be the whole constable corps
of Orange. Ushers have been ap-
pointed for each stand, and can be
easily distinguished by their white
badges.
Nearly 16,000 seats have been sold.
The large seating capacity of the grand
stands has made it possible to fill all
undergraduate and graduate applica-
tions for seats, although some of those
who applied for side stand seats have
been allotted seats in the end stands,
because of the larger demand for the
former.
There will be no general admissions.
Yale’s Condition.
The Yale eleven are in excellent con-
dition and apparently show no ill-effects
from their hard battle with Harvard.
The work on Monday was light, con-:
sisting principally of work on the sig-
nals. Tuesday, an hour was spent in
secret work, followed by a short but
hard practice half against the College.
Dudley returned on Monday and was
played in his former position at hali-
back.
at left-guard in Tuesday’s practice.
Vale 1901 10—Princeton 1901 0._
The Yale Freshman eleven defeated
the Princeton Freshmen in their annual
football game at Yale Field last Satur-
day. The playing of both teams was
loose. Princeton used mass plays con-
stantly, but were frequently thrown
back with a loss. Considering the poor
play of the Yale Freshman team dur-
ing most of the season, the strength of
the line was at times surprising.
Townsend, Auchincloss,
Dupee behind the line did good work.
Townsend’s run of 20 yards through
the visitor’s team was one of the fea-
tures.
Darkness stopped
several minutes of playing time unused.
The line-up and summary follows:

(Correspondence of YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY.]
Princeton, November 16.—The Yale
game next Saturday is the absorbing
topic of discussion at Princeton just
at present. Scarcely anything else is
talked of at the eating clubs or by the
coteries of undergraduates who gather
at various places during the day. The
‘result of the Yale-Harvard game has
only intensified the feeling. Prince-
tonians shared the feeling of a great
many others previous to that game, that
Harvard would win. They had a sel-
fish interest, however, in desiring Yale
at least not to be defeated, in that their
own game with Yale would thereby be
made the more important. The result,
therefore, was quite satisfactory to
Princeton men in general, though it
must be said that the remarkably
strong showing of Yale was an excel-
lent antidote for the feeling of .overcon-
fidence that had shown itself.
_ It is altogether likely that the major-
ity of Princeton undergraduates would
have much preferred to have had the
Yale-Princeton games continue to be
held in New York City. The extra
inconvenience, however, of the trip to
New Haven will do little, if anything,
to diminish the crowd of Princetonians
that will attend the game this year. A
portion of the grand stand at the Yale
Field has been reserved for a “Prince-
ton Cheering Section.” Only one tick-
et to an applicant is allowed in this
section, and the applicants must be
Princeton undergraduates or alurhni.
Eleven hundred seats were sold for this
cheering section, so it is quite prob-
able that Princeton will be heard from
next Saturday. Cheer leaders have
been appointed, and several new paro-
dies on old and well-knuwn songs have
been composed for the occasion. The
University Glee Club will sit in the
middle of the cheering section and lead
the songs.
A mass meeting of the undergradu-
ates was held in the gymnasium Mon-
day night of this week, to practice the
new songs and stir up general enthusi-
asm for the game. The meeting was
aimed to let the team know that the
undergraduate body was heart and soul
back of them, as well as also to warn
the members of the eleven against the
slighest degree of over-confidence. The
meeting was addressed by Dr. Wilton
W. Smith, and Mr. Job Hedges, of New
York City, Mr. Alexander Moffatt, and
others. These meetings are held every
year shortly before a championship
game, and always dod a great deal of
good.
PRINCETON TEAM PLANS.
The University team and substitutes
will leave Princeton next Friday after-
noon and spend the night at New
Haven, probably at the New Haven
House. The expenses of each member
of the Scrub team will also be paid to
New Haven and return, although the
men will be under no special care.
The Scrub team will break training
Thursday afternoon. The University
players and substitutes who will be
taken to New Haven under the special
care of Trainer McMasters will be as
follows: Ends, Cochran, Creigh, H.
Lathrope and Schwartz; tackles, Holt,
Hillebrand, Geer and Potter; guards,
Crowdis, Edwards and Dickey; center,
Booth; quarter-backs, Baird and Ros-
engarten; half-backs, Bannard, Kelly,
Reiter, G. Lathrope and Crane; full-
backs, Wheeler and Ayres. Several
coaches will accompany the team, as
will also the University Glee, Banjo
and Mandolin Clubs. The team will
have a special car for the trip, both
from and to New York and New
Haven, the train to leave New Haven
at 6:35 Saturday evening. Upon their
arrival in New York all who have play-
ed on the University team at all this
year will be tendered a dinner.
THE UNDERGRADUATE PILGRIMAGE.
The undergraduates who will attend
will be leaving Princeton all day Fri-
day and Saturday morning. Most of
them will spend the night in New York
and go up to New Haven by the
“Princeton special,” which will leave
New York about 10 o’clock Saturday
morning. This train will carry no one
except Princeton undergraduates, and
most of these will return by the same
train, leaving New Haven at 6:35 P- M-»
to which will be attached the car con-
taining the members of the eleven. It
will be impossible, under the circum-
stances, to enforce the old rule requir-
ing students to register in Princeton
before midnight the day of the game, So
it is quite likely that no registration
will be required this year.
PRINCETON’S STYLE OF PLAY.
The style of game Princeton will
utilize at New Haven will differ little
from that used on Manhattan Field
last year. It is hardly likely that this
will be such a rushing game as was
that one, as Princeton has learned a
lesson from last year and knows how to
protect her full-back for punts. With
two such able punters back of the
line as Baird and Wheeler, therefore,
Princeton will attempt to make good
use of their abilities. The ends back
formation. with the mass on tackles and
ends is a play -as characteristic
Princeton as is the guards back forma-
tion of Pennsylvania, and in mass plays
this year Princeton will probably be
found true to her traditions. Several
trick plays have been experimented
with during the season, but these have
all been more or less hazardous in exe-
cution, and have consequently been
abandoned. in favor of the good. old-
fashioned method of hard straight foot-
ball. All emphasis will be put upon
team play and sure work. The men
will be discouraged from attempting
any “grand stand” work, but Captain
Cochran will urge upon his men to
play carefully and steadily. Previous
to the captaincy of Garrett Cochran it
used to be a well-known fact that
Princeton had one or two “quitters”
upon her eleven. Cochran, however,
has thoroughly demolished that cus-
tom, and Princeton’s team this year, as
was the one of last year, will be pre-
pared to do or die.
THE CONDITION OF THE PLAYERS.
At the present writing all of the
players except Kelly are in good con-
dition. Armstrong is no longer counted
as a member of the squad. He was
severely injured several weeks ago and
is permanently out of the game. Kelly
came on the field the first of last week,
after having been in the infirmary for a
couple of weeks, and showed excellent
form, but in Wednesday’s practice his
neck was wrenched and he had to be
sent to Philadelphia to be treated. He
will practice this week, however, and
may. be able to go in at_the first of
the game next Saturday. He is one of
the best line-buckers and tacklers on
the gridiron to-day, and if he is in any
sort of condition his :-rvices will be
well worth utilizing for at least a part
of the game.
Three days of hard practice followed
by two -days of easy work was the
schedule for this week. Thursday a
short half will be played, and Friday
merely the signals will be gone through
with. Especial care will be taken of
the men, and no risks will be taken.
At present none of the players seem to
be overtrained, and the trainer will
exert himself to the utmost to see that
this does not occur on the part of any
of his protegés.
The line-up as stated last week still
holds. The only question now is as to
who will start in as right half-back,
Kelly or Reiter. Otherwise the team
will be: left-end, Creigh; left-tackle,
Holt; left-guard, Crowdis; center,
Booth; right-guard, Edwards; right-
tackle, Hillebrand; right-end, Coch-
ran (captain); quarter-back, Baird;
left half-back, Bannard; ~ full-back,
Wheeler.
