New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 16-There
was a 12-mile wind blowing this after
noon diagonally across the gridiron on
which the Yale and Princeton football
teams battled for supremacy. The di-
rection and force of the wind was con-
Sidered advantage to which ever team
should win the toss This did not bring
comfort to the thousand of Yale par
tisans, who appreciate the fact that
Yale'S rather ordinary kicking depart
ment was to be met by the superior
ability of Princeton's star punter, De
Witt.
The betting odds, however, We're still
in favor of Yale at 10 to 8. The larg-
day was cold and clear. The teams
lined up as follows:
Yale. Position Princeton.
Gould (Capt).. left end Davis
Goss left tackle ..Pen (Capt.)
Olcott ...-..... left guard Dana
Holt .......... center .......... Fisher
Hanlin- right guard ........M Mills

De Saulles-.. quarter back Freeman
Hart. ....... left half back .....Foulke

Saulles tried a drop kick from the 40
yard line and Sheffield ran the short
kick to her 20 yard line.

wretchedly, but Hart saved the ball for
