Yale Eleven Doing Light‘ Work—In
Fine Physical Condition.
The annual Yale-Princeton game will
be played at the Yale Field, Saturday,
Nov. 25, at 2 o'clock. The details for
the seating of a great crowd have been
completed and at this writing it looks as
though not a single seat would be vacant
of the 17,500 that the stands. contain.
Yale’s strong game against Harvard,
and. her splendid physical condition
afterwards with not a man even bruised,
would seem to point to a fine contest
with Princeton, of which the result
would be very hard to forecast. Prince-
ton will, probably, depend on mass plays
for her gains and on her speedy quar-
ter, Hutchinson, to reduce McBride’s
punting. Yale will undoubtedly play the
same line as last Saturday, Snitjer be-
ins at end. Sharpe and Richards will
probably start at half. .

of Church and Chapel Streets. Should
the crowds demand it, cars sufficient

SAND, SENSE AND SENTIMENT,
Mr. Camp Thinks They All Contrib-
uted Towards Yale’s Recovery.
To the “sand” of the team, the sense
of the Captain and Coach and especially
to the sentiment of the Universitv, Yale
owes her recovery from the depth of
defeat after the Columbia game and her
remarkable stand against Harvard. The
cheers that have daily aided the men
made them grow slowly but surely into
a team “that to beat would mean a
triumph,” and the cheers that. swelled
from the Yale’ stand at Cambridge
helped make “the work of whipping that
team a difficult undertaking.” Though
it looked dark for Yale yet that cheer-
ing never stopped. Harvard was crowd-
ing the team down toward the goal;
near and nearer they came, but Yale
spirit was there awaiting them.
“And when Harvard got ’em down
against the ropes,
here was something in ’em up and
__ made ’em rise,
Till they ripped and tore and crushed
the crimson hopes,
And set the blue o’ heaven in their
eves !”
WALTER CAMP.
THE GREAT TIE.
Some Impressions of It by a Reporter
Without a Notebook.
If there is ever again to be played
such another football match there will
be people who will not go to it. The tie
game at Soldiers Field on Saturday, the
eighteenth of November, eighteen hun-
dred and ninety-nine, was the most pain-
ful kind of a glorious thing to watch,
to one who cared at all as to how it
came out, of anything that the writer
ever remembers being offered in the
name of sport. Men who have laughed
at their nervous friends for what they
called their suffering during exciting
athletic contests have now some sym-
pathy with them. Coaches who have
passed their first decade of service on
the field or the sidelines, churned their
heels into the cinders, bit pieces off
their cigars and swallowed them with-
out knowing it, leaned on each other for
support, and forgot all the proprieties of
official composure, as one after another
of the sharp corners was turned. Dur-
ing a stop of a minute to measure a dis-
tance, I noticed a man sitting near
me blowing things out of his mouth.
I inquired sympathetically, and he ex-
plained by saying that he supposed his
cigar had fallen onto the cinder track
three or four times and that he had put
it into his mouth afterwards without
knowing anything about the act.
looked at it and found it all covered
with fine pieces of black cinders. He
was a man who had been in intercol-
legiate athletics for most of his college
course and in close connection with them
for twenty years afterwards. He said
We -
he would not take the contract of smok-
ing another cigar during such another
game for anything short of a referee’s
stipend~ :
THE YALE STAND.
One man said it was the third down.
He is one of the chiefs of the sport and
has lived more days and nights and years
with a Rugby football and knows more
about the dynamics of the tee than any
other athlete living, according to the
writer’s best knowledge and belief.
And he said that Harvard had another
chance to go through when Richards
took the ball from Ellis, between twelve
_and eighteen inches from. the goal line
of the Blue. It is a pity that there are
not more people who agree with him.
If this belief could be established, it
would complete in every detail a super-
latively dramatic incident in the chron-
icles of the great American game.
Of course, this is all about Yale’s
stand in the middle of the first half.
You know about it. If you weren't
one of 35,000 people who saw it, you
were one of several myriads more who
watched the thing on a blackboard. As
to how it all happened, play by play,
tackle by tackle, hurdle by hurdle, is it
not hereafter told according as it ap-
peared from the notebooks of two men
who saw it all from different vantage
points, and knew the fighters, and
checked each other’s notes, and made
diagrams, in order that history might
be accurately written?
Things had been going so well, as
Yale men thought, un to this time, that
what then happened in this great on-
slaught and the greater standing against
it was all the more heartwringing. The
game was not three minutes old before
the Yale team said as plainly as though
