plan of holding college games on col-
lege grounds was adopted last year, and
elaborate preparations have accordingly
been necessary. Grand-stands with a
seating capacity of 16,500 have been
erected enclosing the field and _ the
Pennsylvania Railroad has laid eight
new side tracks, running directly to the
gates, to facilitate the handling of the
crowd. 2,500 seats in the middle of
the west stand have been assigned to
the Yale management for distribution
among the graduates and undergradu-
ates of the University. A special train
accommodating about 4oo students will
leave New Haven on Saturday morning,
running direct to Princeton via Harlem
River. It will arrive shortly before the
game and leave immediately after for
New York, where stop-over privileges
have been granted.
The Pennsylvania road will run
special trains from New York, leaving
the foot of Twenty-third street at 10.20
A. M. and II.20 A. M., arriving in Prince-
ton an hour and three-quarters later,
respectively. Returning, they will leave
immediately after the game. A special
rate of $2 will be charged for round
trip tickets (New York to Princeton
and return), on these trains. The regu-
lar morning train leaving New Haven
at 8.30 will allow sufficient time to
connect with these trains.
The regular Pennsylvania trains, on
which a fare of $2.40 will be charged for
the round trip, will afford additional ac-
commodations. They are scheduled to
leave New York at 8.20, 9.20 and 10.50
A. M. and Princeton at 4.11, 5.08, 5.48
and 6.57 P. M.

Hard to Forecast.
It is difficult to recall a season in
Yale’s football history when the pros-
pects of victory have been so clouded
by the injuries and poor physical condi-
tion of the players as in 1898. The
trouble began three weeks ago, when
Dudley and Townshend were forced to
retire from the Brown game because
of injured knees, and when Corwin
went to the Infirmary with a severe
attack of tonsilitis. Benjamin was
obliged to go to his home on the fol-
lowing Monday suffering from a severe
cold and the next afternoon deSaulles
left the field with a badly sprained ankle.
A few day later Coy strained the ten-
dons in-.his neck and Hubbell was so’
manifestly stale that several days rest
was ordered.
Up to this time, in spite of of the
absence of coaches, the Eleven had
been playing well together. The next
week the coaches began to come, but
found the Team in a demoralized state,
owing to the absence and poor condi-
tion of these men. Some effective work
was put in on the center of the line,
but the development of team play was
rendered impossible.
A LARGE SQUAD OF COACHES.
At various times last week the fol-
lowing graduate advisors were with the

gress was impossible, however, owing
to the
players.
On Monday, W. C. Winter, ’93S.;
Frank Hinkey, ’95; and Vance C. Mc-
Cormick, ’93S. were at the Field in
addition to Messrs. Bull, Thorne, Still-
man and Bliss, who had returned to
New Haven. deSaulles, Townshend,
Dudley, Benjamin and Marvin ap-
peared on the field in football clothes
for the first time since they were laid
off by injuries, but took part merely
in the preliminary work. McBride was
suffering from a twisted knee and
Chamberlin from a bruised back, so
they watched the work from the side
lines. The striking feature of the after-
noon was the substitution of Stillman
for Allen at left tackle. The latter,
though stronger and _ heavier, lacks
Stillman’s agility and aggressiveness,
and has failed to improve under coach-
ing. Stillman has been playing guard
on the College side all Fall, and it is
expected that he will develop rapidly
from now on.
Messrs. Graves, Camp, Hefflefinger,
Chadwick, Knapp and Butterworth
joined the squad of coaches on Tues-
day and for the first time this year the ©
team lined up as it is expected to start
in Saturday’s game. After an hour’s
drill on the signals, the backs retired
continued disability of the
in order to preclude the possibility of
further injury and a short, sharp prac-
tice game followed.
THE WEAK POINTS.
The weakest points on the Eleven
promise to be on the ends. deSaulles,
Dudley, McBride and Durston consti-
tute a strong combination of backs,
whose work should be equally effective
on the defensive and offensive play, and
with codperation by the ends McBride’s
punting should be a prominent factor in
Saturday’s game.
Owing to the absence of several
prominent members of the University
squad, the WEEKLY has been unable to
secure a satisfactory photograph of the
Eleven for this issue.
Following are statistics of the players:
to 0, but the result was far from satis-
factory to those who have been follow-
ing the work of the University Eleven
this Fall. The regular line with the
exception of one end and the two half-
back positions were filled by substitutes.
Yale’s play throughout, both on the
offensive and defensive, was decidedly
erratic. At times the Chicago forwards
opened up the line for big gains, and
Yale lost the ball on downs or was
forced to punt as a alternative, a num-
ber of times. The most discouraging
weakness in Yale play lay in the
inability of the ends to get down the
field under McBride’s low punts and
stop the runner effectively, and in the
ragged work in the back field. Almost
every punt was followed by a return
run of at least ten or fifteen yards by
one of the Chicago players, while the

Final Preparations,
[Correspondence of YaLE ALUMNI WEEELY.]
Princeton, N. J., Nov. 7.—Although
Princeton’s showing in the last two
games has not been good, most Prince-
ton men believe that their team has a
chance to win the game with Yale on
Saturday. ‘They base this belief on the
well known strength of the line, which
is constantly improving, and the hope
that the backs will be in shape to handle
cleanly and return McBride’s punting.
The men know that a hard piece of
work is cut out for them and are work-
ing hard to do it successfully, under
the coaching of Moffat, Lea, Balliet,
Brown, Brokaw, Cooke and Kelly. It
is safe to say the team that lines up
against Yale will be a much stronger
one than Princeton has had together
before this season.’ The men from
whom the final team will be chosen
are the following: Booth, c.; Crowdis,
Mills, 1. g.; Edwards, Filson, r. g.;
Geer, Pell, 1. t.; Hillebrand, Beam,
r:.t.:: Palmer, Crané, |. 63-206, ath-
rope, Roper, r. e.; Hutchinson, Dun-
can, Rosengarten, Burke, q. b.; Beards-
ley, Feustermacher, 1. h.; Black, G.
Lathrope, r. h.; Ayres, Wheeler, Kafer,
iD
The practice of the last week has
been principally carried on in secret,
the coachers working to strengthen the
weak points disclosed in the West Point
game.
The loss of Reiter, whose injury to
his shoulder is very severe, is much felt,
his absence materially weakening the
back field. Beardsley and Knight as
substitutes, however, are good, heady
players.
The new men who may go into the
Yale game are Beardsley, who prepared
at St. Luke’s; Hutchinson, from Mer-
cersburg Academy; Mills, who played
guard for two years on the Hill School
Eleven; Pell, from the Brooklyn
Polytechnic Institute and Roper from
the Penn. Charter School.

Yale, 10—Chicago A. C., 0.
Yale’s preliminary season closed on
Saturday with the game against the
Chicago Athletic Club Eleven at Yale
Field. Yale won by the score of to
Yale backs on the contrary were
decidedly weak in this department of
the game. Yale’s end plays were found
ineffective early in the game and the
offensive work was accordingly devoted
almost entirely to line-bucking. The
aggressive play of the Yale forwards
in opening the Chicago line was one of
the gratifying features of the game.
Gilmor played brilliantly at half-back
and McBride at full-back until they
were forced to retire on account of
injuries.
The Chicago Eleven was strong indi-
vidually, especially in the line, and
played unusually well together for an
athletic club team. The ends were
very fast, and Loomis, Slater and Wel-
lington distinguished themselves in
their work behind the line.
Yale scored twice, in the first half
on a goal from the field by Sullivan
and in the second on Harvey’s touch-
down, shortly before the call of time.
Yale’s play in the second half was
characterized by greater snap than in
the first, while Chicago, on the contrary,
weakened perceptibly.
