The friends Of football are looking forward
10 the Thanksgiving day game between iae
and Princeton.

clearly that in those points Of play ID which
Princeton has been VIGOROUSLY weak earlier
in the season wonderful Improvement has
been made. ln lifting up aud in concentra-
ton of force Princeton is fully 80 per cent
stronger now than few weeks ago. Their.
has also been d good deal of weight added 10
the rush line. Holly. Wheeler and Harold
are far from being the weak pitable cTea-
lures one would have supposed from the
reports sent cut from headquarters. They
are large strong and active. and ideal men for
a rush line and when IT Is remembered that
they are backed up by Riggs aud Symmes. 1t
Will he seen that Princeton has quite a Tor.

The work of Symmes himself WAS vastly su-
peri0r TO any he has done before. Probably
put on bis mettle by the fine game Taylor,
the other candidate for centre. has been put
ting up in practice the big man has shaken
himself together and goes about his business
like "a football player. lie is alert. holds his
man well aud tackles finely. There is no room
for Taylor l.. centre while Symmes plays as
he did last Saturday.
Flint. the new half-back, is another man
who deserves word NJ praise tie has ali
the best half-back qualities, including a heavy
build and has been trained during rs short
stay a. Princeton 10 take advantage OF his
teams interfering lis chief fault Is lack
of wind which can be attributed 20 his new

magnetism that seems 70 DO lacking ID the
more sedate Warner, and 1t IS not 10 DO won

latter's successor. In passing and receiving
the ball after q snap-back he has shown the
most decided improvement, and hing may
now fairly be said 10 10 the superior Of any
quarterback playing football. This IS no
dsparagement o. Barbour who, though
mighty clever little player, and one who
knows how o. use his head. must acknowl-
edge his equal IN these respects and his SUI
peror in many others IN tho curly-halred

Yale will have 10 keep an eye on Princeton
on Thanksgiving Day. No such general IN
reference has been done by football team
iu many years, il ever. az Princeton Is dong
now. Many will say that lales interfering
is hard 70 beat. But they must remember
that about half of this work on the fale team
is done by one man alone. II anything should
happen TO He1eihnger or # any trick should
be devised by which he could be headed OF
or his efficiency annulled. lale would not DO

cerned. The difference between the two
eleyens is that = few men interfere we'll at
Yale while tho entire Princeton team has
been trained diligently in this most impOr-
tGnt respect Of the game. Look out for them
on Thanksgiving Day.
