A horde of tlgor-strlpcd Princeton athletes were first to tako tho field this afternoon In the forty-second annual fracas for football glory with Ynla In the Nassau Coliseum. The team received a monster demonstration from 2000 ylpplng Princeton students, who marched to their scats behind a band, aftor making tho arena tremble with a volumo of cheers for the eleven In whom they place their trust for a reversal of last year's defeat at the hands of Yale. Every seat of the row upon row In the great bowl was taken nnd It was an nounced that f,15G tickets had been sold. At 1 o'clock n solid mass of people was lined up for "stnndlng-room-only" tickets, so that by tha time the game started the gray of the stadium shelves was turned to tha black of solid humanity. Princeton was In the Bouth stands nnd was bright with huge yellow chrysanthe mums, which every fair rooter wore, and tha brilliant orange pennants and ribbons, the colors of Old Nassau.

The crowd was one of the, largest that ever attended the classic Yale-Princeton game, Karly In the morning the streets of historical Princeton were choked with dense masses of humanity and all roads to the old college town were thronged with motors from New York, Philadelphia and distant points. Nassau street was bounded on both sides by solid stretches of motor cars all day long, as were most of the other streets. The famous Princeton clubhouses overflowed with visitors, grey-haired alumni and gaily dressed .feminine supporters. Phtladelphlans at the game Included Miss Mildred Caverly, Mr. and Mrs,VW. W.

Nov. II. Over SO.000 football fans wended their way Into this big stadium this after noon to witness tho annual struggla on tha gridiron between the Wolverines and the University of Pennsylvania, An hour nnd n half before 2 o'clock (central time), when tho whlstlo's call was scheduled to start tho game, thousands of Michigan students nnd alumni, headed by tho university band and gaudily arrayed with the Malso nnd Blue, did tho snnka danco Into tha field and took their scats on the north sido of the field. Shortly after this tho Pcnn students who accompanied the team, along with a bunch of nlumnl from Detroit nnd other cities In' this vicinity, took tho special section on the south side of tho field. Both bands of rooters kept things lively with college songo and yells until the two teams trotted on the field nt 1MB o'clock. Tho names of Maulbelsch, Sparks, Peach, Borry and Hennlng wero on every lip. Will Maulbctsch, tho "human bullet," be nble to penetrate the Quakors' great Una?

As a mat ter of fact, every ono of the Quaker ath letes got a shock n moment before the game had started, for Howard Berry began tho game at fullback. Borry doeBn't know It and neither do his teammates, but never theless It Is 80.

Majority in Houso Would Run No Risk of Reduction Congressman William S. Vare saved his life today. for the sake of his country. He yearned to fly skyward in the aero plane with Sergeant William C. Ocher, of tha United States army, who dropped In on us at the Philadelphia Navy Yard while en route to Washington from New York. The arrival of tha aviator stirred up all kinds of rumors. The most persistent was that a well-known Congressman would fly with Sergeant Ocher to Washington. Among those who Inspected tho aeroplane, as It lay at the yard panting for a start, was Con gressman Vare. "Will you fly with the aviator?" he was asked, Mr. Vare looked annoyed. "I must think of the future." he said; "tha Republican membership of Congress Is so small now that we need all we have. Then there are lots of Improvements contemplated for the navy yard here, so I think I'll stick around and see what can be done. Furthermore, I don't think my constituents would like the Idea of my taking such a risk. It doesn't sound well to say that a Congressman went up In the air." And Mr, Vare looked at terra firroa un der htm with a very friendly attitude. OPENS NEW STORE AND DIES Old Chester Merchant, Churchman and Prohibitionist Succumbs CHESTER. Pa.. Nov.

"With most ait of the factories shutting down nt noon, I expect that tho pressure wilt roach nonnnl this aftarnoon. Wo win not be nblo to repalp the broken main be fore tomorrow morning," MANHOLES BLOWN OUT The presenoe of returning pressure wag demonstrated In an emphatlo mannor on Broad street when manholes at Broad and Wallace streets, Broad nnd Hamilton and Broad and Wood streets, shot ten feet 'into to nlr. Water poured from the openings nnd gushed Into the gutters. Another break was fearod and men were rushed from tho ofilco of the Water Bureau to In vestigate tho cause of the manhole blow outs. It la estimated that more than 500,008 persons were affected by one of the most disastrous vyater-maln breaks in the history . of the Water Bureau. The section cut oft from Its supply was not In danger from fire, as tna city high pressure system covered the territory, ""The water'famlno struck; Tiard In" (SoiS" sands of homes.

HOSPITALS SUFFEU In hospitals east of Broad street real suffering was caused by the cut-oil. There was no water for tho dressing of wounds, and fever patients suffered from thirst. There were near-panics In the culinary departments of hotels east of Broad street when It was discovered that the water spigots were on strike. Cooks and waiters wero dismayed. Ouests cnuld not sea any reason why they should forgo their coffee and postpone their morning toilets because a wator muln had gone out of business. The great Industrial district of Ken sington was paralyzed by the break. Many mills shut down and thousands of mem and women were Idle. CAST-IRON PIPE CrtACKED The break occurred In a twejve-foot sec tion of water main. The forty-elght-lnoh cant-Iron pipe of this section was cracked down through the middle like an eggshell. This main carried water to the city from the Lardner's Point Pumping Station. The Frankford Creek Intercepting sewer Is under construction alongside the water main, and Chief Davis has the theory that th) sewer operation was responsible for the break. The earth from the sewer ex cavation was thrown on the ground cover ing the main, making a total depth of about fourteen feet of earth on top of the cast iron pipe. Chief Davis says that ha be lieves that the earth pressure caused the pipe to burst. The main burst at about Um., shooting a geyser of water twenty feet Into the air, Continued en Paf a Tna.
