The others interfered and the fighting propensities of both cams were aroused. Fortunately peacemakers jumped in and prevented a collision just as the teams were about to rush at each other.

Captain Trenchard and Manager Mum of the Princeton team, n Captain Hin key and Manager Cable of the Yale eleven, met at the Murray Hill Hotel ing a date and grounds for the football game between the two colleges, but were unable to come to a satisfactory agreement Captain Hinkey announced that under no circumstance would Yale agree to play the Tigers on Thanksgiving Day. Experience, he said, had taught the New Haven men that it would be unwise to play so strong an eleven as Princeton SO soon after the game with Harvard. Five days, he claimed, was entirely too short a period for the men to have in which to timber up for the game with the Tigers. He insinuated that Yale’s defeat at the hands of the Princeton men was due to the lack of reparation for the game. Captain Trenchard said that his men ould positively refuse to play on Dehe objections OF the faculty. The latter claimed that if the game was decided on December it would interfere material minded Hinkey that Yale had played Harvard in former years under precisely the same conditions as last season, and said he was at a loss to account for TO agree to a compromise and play the game on December l.” concluded Trench ard, there will be no game” = Three grounds are talked about for the game.
