WALTER CAMP ON THE YALE
PRINCETON GAME.
The following letter on the outcome
and chances of both sides in the Yale
Princeton football game was printed
yaetardov oya,, Wa1tot, Siona-
ture in the Yale Alumni Weekly:
There is tradition by which Yale
men have ever set great store-that the
boys in blue on the gridiron always
finish strong. Nor is the belief local
and confined to New Haven alone 1t
is generally accepted by all those who
take an interest in the game as a
strange but certain fact that the last
two weeks of the football season finds
the Yale eleven coming to their perfec-
ton most rapidly. The hearts of their
sympathzers, although wrung for
weeks by the backwardness of the team
and their narrow escapes from dis
graceful defeats, bound up with new
hopes in the week before the final
match.
almost never has a Yale team dis
dppOlnleQ lHeIl, UuC there luuSL pe d
limit to such sensational finishes. and
sometime Yale will fail to catch the
leaders on the homestretch. Whether
that time has come this season is a
question, but surely Princeton has a
long lead this time and one that has
been earned by steady, persistent effort
and not by a sprint Princeton's team
is largely a veteran one, and made
more SO by the hard games of this sea-
son. The men work together hold one
another, keep cool and quiet under
work, and generally exhibit those quail
tiles that go so far towards success. In
the Harvard game it was more the
steadiness of their play and the assured
way in which, even with one half gone
and the minutes of the second flying by
without score, they stuck to their sys-
tematic play that eventually landed
them the victors than any very mark
ed superiority in offence or defence.
Tle kicking department has been made
perfect, and Baird, with his substitute,
Wheeler, insures the quality of their
work
with this is coupled, as shown more
In the Cornell than in the Harvard
game, higher grade of team offence
in the running game. To meet this
Yale has week or ten days. Hinkey
is a made kicker, if the expression be
permitted He can hardly expect to
match Baird or Wheeler in distance.
Yale has no kicker of note, and he has,
therefore, almost of necessity, stepped
INFO thr gap. The game of to-day de-
rends sc largely upon kicking that it is
hard to read Yale's title to more than a
fighting chance.
"But in a kicking game there are op-
portuni''es for muffs and fumbes and
the best man may make a slip. Sc
here's a chance, although it may be
the W.. ng way and Yale may do the
Inuffing.
"The two lines that will face each
otter will be strong at tackles, fo1r
good L en- filling the places in Church
end II llebrand and Murphy and Roy-
c-.s. II ose most vulnerable points of
attack in the game, as it stands to-
day, have certainly been well looked
after by both teams. The center trioe
are rather stolid by comparison with
the dash of the tackles. At ends
Princeton is the safer, Yale the more
dashing. But in the running game be-
hind the line Princeton has the better
of it in the unanimity of her men and
in having first-class substitutes for
emergencies.
'The game should be on a pleasant
day, for Princeton's team is one worthy
of the best conditions, and the stimulus
will nerve Yale up to the good work
too. A rainy day would cause the
match to degenerate much, would ma
terially lower the standard of the play
and while not greatly affecting the re-
suit, would render it far less salts
