either Bradley or Short. Both Glass and
Dewitt have big regulations, but the
Yale guard has shown the better work in
line playing No centre has been able to
outplay Holt but whether he faces Bar
ney or short, he will stack up against
beef and strength. Goss at right guard is
powerful man physically, but inclined
to slowness. If he wakes up, as he does
do at times. and makes the most of his
physical endowment, he will be very
troublesome for whoever faces him.
The blush tinge existing in the line
is not to be found behind the line. The
Tiger bacl1ield looks speedier and doubt
less every effort will be made to utilize
this speed in end runs, assisted by quick
forming interference. Both of the quar-
ter backs, Rockwell and Pearson, have
been out comparatively little this season.
Rockwell is fine general and keeps the
team on the jump, while Pearson COM
bines steadiness with cool head and
has played more football than his rival.
How Rockwell will handle the ball re-
mains to be seen. Any loose handling
might easily be expensive in a close
game. Probably Metcalf, sure catch,
will play back for punts. Foulke, the
Princeton right half, is the best man on
the field at circiing the ends, but Net
calf, Yale's right half, is pretty fast him
self.
Captain Chadwick. of Yale, is the best
hits the line hard and is hard to stop.
Princeton's best line plugger of the
backs is R. McClave at full back. Hart,
at left half for Princeton, or S. McClave,
should he play there, gets away quickly
and is dangerous, should the interference
hold long enough for him to reach the
line of scrimmage. If Yale can get
through and smash this interference,
Princeton will havesto place additional
reliance on De Wits foot. Bowman,
the Yale full back, cannot punt with
De Witt, but is fairly accurate and goes
at the line hard. Besides the individual
aspect of the game, ther are equally inn
portant factors, such as the fighting
spirit, concentration on the attack and
team play in general, consistency of play,
condition and kicking. Princeton admit
tedly is stronger in kicking, while the
Yale adherents think they have handler
lot of men to carry the ball. The general
opinion is that both sides will score.
However, no team thus far has been able
to get through Yale's defence for soon
secutive gains; on the other hand Prince
tons defence has improved in the last
two weeks.

NEW HAVEN, Nov. 13.-Yale took

work of today is any criterion the Tigers
won't be prevented from scoring.
