own in booting the leather and is able to run back the ball we'll, think that Princeton will bs the loser." is Bloomer's view of the game.
 The prevailing opinion is that the Tigers will win in . decisive manner because of the form that the team has been showing all season. While Yale has only shown first-class ability. during the past week, Princeton has been playing football of the star order all year. Still there is. no reason, when careful view of the teams is made. why there should be such odds as and to 3against 3 the Eli team.
 The Yale coaches are somewhat worried as to whom they will play in the backfeld. They seemed to think that with Knox and Veeder on either side of Roome at fullback. formidable combination would be the result. But that would be leaving out Captain Morse, which thing is out of the question. Morse will prob- ably start at one half, Knox at the other and Roome at full. Or veeder AAdy UO put CuC AI6I uklL 0O dA IO endeavor to worry Princeton with his bunting. and Roome allowed to so in in the second half to make gains because of his line bucking ability.
 The makeup of the Princeton backfield will be Harlan and Rulon- Miller, halfbacks; Mccormack, full, and Eddie Dillon at quarterback.
 Even though Yale should prove the equal of Princeton in offensive and defensive play, the fact that Prince ton has two star kickers in Harlan and Cooney should be taken into con- alteration. Harlan can drop kick a goal from almost any distance within the forty-five yard line, while Cooney Is wizard on place kicks. These two players are expected to have an important bearing on the result of the game.
 Veeder, Yale's standby in the kick ing department, Is good and does we'll at drops. but has yet to show that he is as good as his opponent.
 At any rate the game should be a corker and 1t is not at all probable that the winning team will have very much to spare at the finish. Prince ton looks good, but Yale is sure to play a rattling game tomorrow and may surprise the football sharps by bringing a victory to New Haven.
 The Pennsylvania-Michigan game is of a rather uncertain quality. The Quakers have been playing anything but good football, and although they have braced some the past couple of weeks they cannot be regarded as being a representative of the true strength of the east. Still the eleven may be really good tomorrow and re- deem itself for the poor play of the early part of the season. In the La fayette game the Penn eleven rushed the ball seventy yards in three min utes. and although 1t did not score, the feat has boomed the stock of the Pennsylvania team considerably and many are looking for . win over the western team. Michigan without their captain. Joe Curtiss. who was as good as two men. will be handi- capped by the loss of the player, but Yost is hoping for the best. The Hurry Up eleven has not been doing any remarkable stunts this season, but Yost was probably waiting for to-morrow's game before. he made a show down of what he really has. Four of the Michigan teams star men are out of the game because of studies. but their places have been filled by players almost as good. What the outcome of the game will be is hard to tell, but if Michigan Is what 1t is supposed to be, 1t should defeat the Quakers.
 The Indians will have their hands full with Minnesota. and this game will be another from whose score a comparison will be made between the east and west. The Indians must be considered better than the Quakers, whom they defeated handily. but they are not in the class of the other mem- bers of the Big Four. Minnesota. on the other hand. is as good as any other team in the west. its victory of to over Chicago giving 1t much prestige. Therefore if the Indians should defeat Minnesota the west would be considered outclassed. .
 The Fordham-villanova game at New York is of interest to Water burians as Brass city boys are in the lineup of the villanova team. A few from this city will take in the contest. Both teams are evenly matched. although Fordham has i'm proved considerably the past two weeks.
 Harvard is not worrying much over the Dartmouth contest. although it has not defeated the wearers of the green and white in three years. Three years ago Harvard was defeat- ed II to o, while the past two years the games ended in a tie.
