THINKS YALE STRONGER.
w. and J. Captain Compares the Ell
and Princeton Teams

New Haven. Conn, Nov. 6.-AlthOugh
Yale defeated Washington and jefferson
College only Il to O. and Princeton beat
the same team 20 70 0, Capt. Price. of the
Washington and Jefferson eleven, says
that he is by no means certain that
Princeton could defeat Yale. In discuss
ing the two university elevens, he said:
L am inclined to think Yale a shade
the stronger. and I look for an extremely
close game. no comparison whatever
can he made based on the two scores
made against our team. We had an of
day at Princeton. while the wet ball and
slippery field made it impossible for Yale
TO roll up the score she could have made
against as on a dry day. The superior
strength of the Yale line will be a big
factor in her success. From tackle to
tackle Princeton's line is much weaker
than Yale's. Yale's defense was the
stiffest we have met this year James.
our left guard, who outplayed McFayden
at Princeton. says that Goebel is the
strongest man he ever faced. Although
Cooney Of Yale. did not show Up strong
~ against us. il is probable that in the
remaining days OF practice he will i'm
prove and develop into a valuable man.
"Wister. of Princeton, is the strongest
end of either eleven. but Brown is no
better than Brides or Alcott, OF Yale.
Yale viii find il difficult TO gain by end
runs while PrincetOn's fast and tricky
backs Will present problem difficult FOR
the Yale ends to solve

ger. to nm the place made vacant by the
resignation Of Newell Afford.
Another hard lineup was given the

napohs will have a hard proposition next
Saturday. The team to-day gave an
other exhibition of what II could do if
soma spirit OF unity could be maintained.
Coach Brook believes that the success
of the on-side kick and forward pass lies
in the number of men which can be
concentrated around the ball. and is
coaching his team accordingly. Rittman,
who has been crippled for some time, is
very much needed just now. but the
spirits Of the team are materially
heightened now by the knowledge that
