Otlicl UtlOlc. bdot lttl I10i1OiN 49,
young, green and pugnaci0us, and the
Yale man played all around his oD-
ponent, drawing hlm out at will and
continually using him as an open door
by which balls passed through toward
Princeton'S iIne. Harold has improved
considerably, but lie faces one or Tue
finest tackles in the country, ana
Princeton is apt to be Outpldyed at THIS
point.
Hall at right guard faces Yale's
youngster, McCrea. Neither Hall nor
McCrea are yet ideal guards. The Yale
man allowed his opponent to get through
too quickly at Springfield and was slow
at breaking through. but Waters was
one of Harvard's best men, and the
playing of Hall is more in McCrea's
class. Neither side should obtain much
advantage here.
Stllman faced difficult man SatIr-
day and task no less onerouS awaits
him tomorrow. 1t is hard to see how
Lewis Play
at Springfield could be improved upor,
but Ballet has the necessary weight
and Is no less s1illful snap-back than
the Harvard player. Stillnan's IN
creased experience and BallietS want
of practice (he has been laid off Tor the
last three weeks may help to even up
matters. but the chances are that Nc
COrmick will be hampered by Baillets
work with Stillman. who will be out
played by his Princeton opponent.
Wheeler played well against Morrl-
son year ago. and will doubtless tax
the powers of Yale'S young right guard,
Hickok, to the utmost. Hickok, how
ever. will be no easy opponent for his
more experienced rival. He faced
aIfhnnUn
he often let HIM through the line too
easily, he fought gamely and learned
some useful lessons at Springfield. Both
players are aggressive, ana the hight at
this position will be worth Watching.
Wallis and Lea are matched at right
and left tackle, and here Yale should
excel. Wallis is almost an ideal tackle
and a ground gamer of exceptional abIl-
ity. His opponent is new man, well
built for the position. which he plays
cleverly, but he is outclassed by Wallis.
Greenway is fortunate in having no
stronger opponent than Randolph to
face. In the Springfield game Green
way did well and held his own against
his heavy rival, EmmonS.
The Tyyo Subs.
Randolph is only sub at best. and,
although he plays well, he is not brill
liant and should not outplay the Yale
freshman. Should King return to Ii s.
old position at quarterback, as it Is
now reported he will do, this position
will be strengthened. but the general
effect of the Princeton team will not be-
good, as the best runner will thus be
placed where his powers cannot be used
as effectively as they could be at half,
back. Laurie Bliss has no equal for
brilliancy on the football field, unless 1t
be King.
G. ID. Bliss and Poe play the same
style of game, but the former has the
advantage III weight. At full back
ButterWorth must improve in catching
il his playing is not to be a constant
menace to Yale. His muffS at Spring
field were frequent, and it was only due
to good fortune that they were not more
costly than they were. In this respect
Honans, provided he plays the game he.
did last year, will outclass the Yaies'
man. In puntng Honans, perhaps. wifi
also have little the better of 1t, but if
Princeton does not break through too
frequently OIL ButterWorth, an exchange
OF kicks will not net the Jersey men
more tnan five-yard gain.
Comment on the playing of the Yale
men as a team is unnecessary. The
furious sweep of their line and the
speed of their backs have been re-
hearsed many times this season, and
their strength and skill are everywhere
acknowledged. But
Compared individually
the choice between the Yale and Prince
ton teams is slight, and, remembering
their play early in the season. it will
rot be wise to predict a disastrous de-
feat for the orange and black. For the
last three weeks Princeton has been
very quiet-always a good Sign-and
the men have worked hard and consci-
entiouSly. 1t will not do to compare
scores and deduce conclusions there
from. The Yale men nave done re-
markaby we'll with their material this
year. but their work is not yet COM
pleted, and a hard-fought game awaits
them on Thanksgiving day. Ii Yale
wins tomorrow she will have to earn her
victory, for the true indications are that
the game of 1892 will be no walk-oVer
for the champions.
Before the Yale team returns to New
Haven, the question of a captain for
next year will have been decided.
Wallis, Winter. Mccormick and the
Bliss brothers graduate. and Hinkey
and ButterWOrth are the next III the
legitimate line for election. AS it has
been Yale's policy to give the honor to
man behind the line, Hinkey is prac
tcatly out Of the race, and. as this is
Butterworth's first year on the team, he
hardly seems thoroughly desirable
man for the responsibility. With mat
tiers in this perpleXing state. Laurie
Bliss has announced his intention Of re-
turning another year, and there is little
doubt that he will be the man to lead
them Ill the battles of 1898.
