The Tigers will start today's practice
with a determined effort to be In the
pink of physical requirements for the
sturdy sons of Old Eli. The present
situation is the hest that Princeton has
seen one week before the final game in
at least three years. With an unbroken
series of victories, supplemented with
the fact that her goal line has not been
crossed once by her opponents, and that
only one team has scored on her-this
being accomplished ~ Washington and
Jefferson by a place kick--there seems
to be good reason for believing that
Princeton will give the great Yale eleven
some trouble in smashing through her
defense.
If the two places il the line, centre
and leftguard, and fullback can be weld
ed into proper for in the next few days,
the Tigers will have an excellent chance
to pull the game their way. In support
of this the arguments may be used
that HERETOFORE the defense has proved
almost impresnable against the terrific
attacks of opposing teams, and the
Tigers always have risen to the occasion
when forced hack to critical points. The
heavy Cornell team approached to with
ia eight yards of the Tigers goal, and up
to that no team had been within twenty
yards Of 1t. The strengthening of the
weak spots in the line should form a
defense that any set of backs would
have difficulty In penetrating for many
consecutive gains.
Barney at centre and both Bradley and
Brown, who now are lighting 1t out for
left guard, are coming up In fine form.
Despite the loss of Kafer and Burke, the
back field will be able to play hard, fast
game. and IL H. McCiave can hold out at
fuliback thinss win be kept on the move
In this department. Pearson, who has
been playing at quarter since Burke's in
jury, has come up In such surprising
manner that the coaches practically have
awarded the place to him, as he has had
first call on the position ever since. I'm
less Yale's heavy rush line ID able to get
through and smash up Princeton's light
interference not only will the coaches
look for god gains through the line. but
also respectable gains around the ends,
clipped off BY Fonike, 8. McCiave and
DE Witt.
Just what the combination will be for
the Yale game Is to some extent uncer-
tain, but indications point to its being
about as fololws: Left end, Davis. left
tackle, Short; left guard. Bradley or
Brown; centre, Barney; right guard, De
Witt; right tackle. Reed; right end, Hen
