Regular train service between New York and Princeton will be discontinued on Saturday, November 10, the date of the Harvard-Princeton football game and no trains will be run on schedule. According to a recent announcement made by the Pennsylvania Railroad system, "Stops of New York Division trains at Princeton Junction on November 10, between 10 A.M. and 6 P.M. will be annulled. Regular train service on the Princeton Branch will be correspondingly annulled."

To replace the regular schedule of train connections between New York and Princeton by way of Princeton Junction, the railroad plans to maintain constant service between New York and Princeton, direct. According to the Boston Passenger agent of the Pennsylvania system, trains will be constantly waiting at the Pennsylvania station in the morning after 8.45 A.M. and each train will be dispatched directly to Princeton as soon as it is filled. Returning, the trains will leave Princeton as they are filled. The first express trains for New York after the game will be drawn up in the middle train yard, which is nearest to the Palmer Stadium. Local trains for New York, stopping at New Brunswick, Jersey City, Newark and other points in northern New Jersey will be sent out from the lower yard. Trains for Philadelphia and southern and western points will leave from the upper train yards, which adjoin the regular Princeton railroad station.

On the New York, New Haven, and Hartford, and the Boston and Albany lines, both operating trains between Boston and New York, no special trains will be run on Saturday.

In view of the fact that nearly half of the members of the University who are going to Princeton will make the trip from Boston to New York by boat, the railroad officials have deemed it unnecessary to arrange for any special trains. However, the Knickerbocker Express leaving the South Station at 1 o'clock on Friday will be run in two sections, and extra care will be added to all the through expresses to New York on that day.
