touchdown was imminent the coaches
ordered a drop kick.
The scrub kicked off poorly to Davis,
and it was the yarsity's ball on its forty
yard line. On the first play Hart made
five yards on a mass play, and on the
next down Dewitt lifted the ball fifty
FIVE yards to King. The scrub was un-
punt placed the ball near the scrubs
goal. The varsity received the ball at
the centre of the field aud began an at
tack on the scrubs tackles Foulke sud-
denly skirted right end for thirty yards,
and mass plays soon took the ball fifteen
yards from the goal line. Dewitt tried
drop kick, which failed. On receiving
the kcikot, the varsity again began a
fierce attack on the scrub, and placed the
bali on the latter's twenty-yard line. AT
this point Dewitt landed field goal cas-
lily. The rest of the half the varsity con-
tinued to gain in the same fashion, till
the mtermission. The second half was
played in secret. From present indica
tions it looks as if Princeton will use four
or FIVE fullbacks in the Yale game, put
ting in another as soon as one is used
up.
In the matter of greenness Yale is not
a bit better off than Princeton. There
are four men on the Yale team who
never before this season were on the
VARSITY team. They are the freshmen,
Shevlih, Kinney, Rockwell and Bowman.
Others WAC never have played in a big
game are Gass and Metcalf. Glass has
never faced Princeton or Harvard. This
leaves Rafferty,, Holt, Goss Hogan and
Chadwick who have played in big
game Chadwick is the only Yale man
who has played four years on the varsity
team. At Princeton the two ends, Davis
and Henry are experienced players, al
though this is only their second year as
varsity ends De Witt is in his third
year at Princeton and has played good
deal of football in that time. Pearson
played in a number of the games last
year but is by no means seasoned play
er. Hart, Foulke and r. McClave are
not green players by good deal and
not veterans. Reed. at tackle. might be
classed as green, since this is his first
year on the varsity team. Short is a
sophomre and played in the big games
last year. Brown and Bradley are
green players, and in case Barney plays
centre tomorrow, sending Short to guard,
there will be another green man in the
lineup. Barney is freshman. Thus it
will be seen that neither is veteran
team, with Yale having the more fresh
men in line.
Captain Davis. of Princeton, high
class end, will have as his opposite
Shevlin, a freshman, and nothing like as
experienced in the position as the Tiger
leader. Shevlin is the heavier man. probp
ably not so fast as Davis, but pretty
fast. Shevlin has come up rapidly since
the Yale coaches shifted him from tackle
to end, is an aggressive player and hard
tackler Davis one Of the surest tacklers
on the gridiron and his experience makes
him harder man to fool than Sheylin.
Rafferty, and Henry face each other on
the other end and this looks to be a pret-
ty even thing. Henry is the more ex-
perienced, but has been somewhat off this
year on account Of injuries, while Raffer-
ty came out late for practice and has
an injured head. Kinney, at left tackle.
is a bigger and stronger man than Reed
of Princeton, whom he will face, while
Reed is active and aggressive Hogan, the
other Yale tackle and apowerful man on
the offence, has. in Brown Of Princeton,
a vis-a-vis whc also is big and strong and
good at carrying the ball. There appears
to; be more weight and speed in the Yale
centre with not enough difference in the
former quality to give much advantage
