pionr'sres OF violets 20 be asking ior

dlte5lv happen unless the unlocked

Oh. odds IL would seem like the coin

ENORMOUSLY pleasant 10 the Trenton

tts Princeton boys have for the past
month been Tesorting to all manner OF
unusual economical devices. and they eX-
Ie-t 20 cover each dollar Of Yale money
With two OF the Tigers.
While Yale IS discouraged, IT Is not yet
beaten and in the two weeks which

Efforts will be made 10 lick the team
into better shape This viii be difficult
matter. If the trouble rested with one,
or two. OF three players the evil could
De remelied by placing them on the side
and drawing on the substitutes. But
more difficult problem contronts the
coaches. The whole team is decidedly
weak in comparison with the brilliant
eleven OF Princeton. ii is mot lack CT
Deer as the men are as heavy as usual;
neither is il lack OF sand. as they have
stood some mighty rough handling in the
smes played to date. Captain Murphy
has worked like a Trojan. and there have

ans previous year
The trouble seems 10 be with the quality
o. The raw material which the coaches had
20 WORK upon. While there was a great
iost of candidates for TIE tsss1a, not one
Of them showed brilliancy or exceptional
ability. This is a rare thing, for Yale has
always been fortunate In securing the
pest football material from the prepara-
.oy schools.
