Pennsy Has Better Chance.
From every appearance, Pennsylvania
has the better of Columbia in the argument
as to rela tive strength of the two teams In
today's struggle on Franklin Field. The
Ouakers outweigh the New York collie
R1anS ana are IMAM anu Quitc oo cAu
as MorIeys charges. The figures of the
probable makeup of the two elevens show
that Pennsylvania has an average of 1917
pounds. while Columbia has only 1913. The
Columbia players average feet l0A lncheS
in height, while the wearerS OF the req
and blue are only half an inch shorter than
6 feet. The age is about the same, each
team averaging 221s years. from THESE
| figures it will be seen that SO far as peer
| counts Columbia is a poor second. The
| individual capabilities of the men, how
ever. are not so widely diverse.
Pennsylvania ends, Drake and Hollen-
back or Singler, are as good wing men as
any team in the country possesses Drake
is a big man, weighing 1I5 pounds and be-
ing feet 10 inches tall. He is as fast as
any end in the country. Sinkler is very
good, and 1t is toss-up whether he or j.
Hollenback will play this afternoon. Each
| is about 5 feet IL inches tall and weighs
| 1863 pounds. Opposed to them in the Co
| lumbia line will be Post and Muir. Time
| and again this season has Post been boxed
| out of the plays, and even now he is in
ferior to Muir who in turn is not as good
| as Drake.
Tigers Expect Heavy Game.
The Tigers had light practice at Prince
| ton yesterday in expectation of a heavy
game with Lehigh today. There was no
| scrimmage with the scrub, but only a gen.
| eral running through the signals and some
| practice in kicking. Judging from the work
| or the team, princeton Will nave TO WOTh
| every minute to play to win from the Penn
| sylvanians. Carothers at center did some
miserable work In passing the ball back
| for Tenney, the quarter, to kick. Repeat
| eddy he passed 1t so high that it went quite
over the head of the quarter. The scrub
| was lined up against the varsity to attempt
| to block Tenney's drop kicks and owing to
| Carothers' slow passing the second team
| succeeded in almost every instance in block
| Ing the kick. Tenney, too, was considerably
| off color in his kicking, and was too slow in
| getting off his kicks.
Another important change was made in
| the lineup. Tooker, who has been playing
end, was on the side lines and Ward one
| of the scrub ends. took his place. Ward
| is fast in getting down the field, and fine
tackler, but he is not nearly so good kick
| er as Tooker. On the whole the practice left
| with the onlookers a decided impression OF
| raggedness in the eleven, and disapponts
| the hopes entertained that the week after
| the disastrous Annapolis game would be
| marked by a big Improvement in the team
| work of the Princeton eleven
Crimson Sure of Indians.
Light practice was held at Cambridge and
| New Haven yesterday, but at New Haven
| there has been some fierce driving this week
| and flashes of high-cass foot ball, but by
| no means evenly sustained. good foot ball
| The last hard work at Harvard prior to the
Carlisle game contained besides the scrim-
| maging, good deal of drilling in funda-
| mentals. The average weight of the Indian
| team is 1G1 pounds, SO that the red men
! will be outweighed about twenty-five
pounds man. Speed and a slashing Of
feEse are strong points in the Indians play.
| Their defensive game has never been pro-
poruonately as good the offense, and
| sides attack they are likely to puzzle
| the other side by their attack Coach
