the entire season. Bomar is a useful man
for any backfield, sure on defense and al
ways active and aggressive on attack,
while Brides, having an advantage in
weight, is a fine man to lead heavy inter-
ference and a good line plunger. Princeton
has, besides Captain Mccormick at full
back, two very good players in Harlan and
Tibbott. The former is a dangerous man In
any game, because of his ability to kick
goals. He has been under the watehful
eye of John Dewitt for the past week and
has improved steadily in this department.
Princeton expects him to score once by
his favorite route at least. Tibbott. who
will go in at right ~halfback, proved in
the Indian game that he was a wonderful
runner through a broken field. He is OF
the type that squeezes through small
holes. He is speedier than Linn was, how
ever. and so is Harlan. In fact, both men
are above the average in their ability to
cover ground, and on end plays are decid-
eddy dangerous.
Princeton Strong at Ends.
Princeton ends. on paper. undoubtedly
o~utclass any combination that Yale has
tried up to date, but under Frank Hin
keys tuition Howard Jones and Alcott,
who are most likely to start the contest,
may be able to hold their own. Brown
and Wister on defensive work, on running
down the field under kicks and OH the for
ward pass have proven very valuable.
Wister is as good as he was last year, and
that Is equivalent to placing him as one OF
the best of the season. The ends In tomor-
rows contest will have a great deal to dc
with the result. Coy's kicks need speedy
ends or Dillon may get started one one OF
his famous runs, while Princeton will have
to have good men to cope with the for
nations hat are sent at her outposts
Wister is likely to be used by Princeton
in carrying the ball on plays other thar
the forward pass. and Is an excellent back
In a case Of the sort.
From tackle to tackle Princeton has
shown her greatest weakness, although
there has been much improvement recent
ly, which may be good enough to offset
the excellence of the Yale forwards. Paige
and Cooney, who have the left tackle Of
the Yale line to take care of, Will meet
McFadyen and Booth, the former rather q
slow guard, but improving, and the latter
a good tackle, who has shown in the re.
cent games a decidedly better ability &c
solve pla rs directed at him. Yale should
have no trouble in holding her own on thi;
side of the line, even II she is not better
McFadyen and Cooney will lave n battle
royal at guard, the Yale man making III
what he lacks in speed in a certain dogget
determination to. play good football. HI
has shown well since he was changed from
centre, and the coaches pin a lot of faitl
on his weight. He at least can throw him
self into a hole and his size would stoI
almost any play.
On the other side Of the line Captain
Bigelow will probably hin Princeton
coaches nave had a lot of trouble in de
veloping a left tackle. The evident-meau
ing OF the time they have spent on thi
position is that they fear Blgelow's break
ing through propensity. Buckingham an
Selgling are still fighting it out, and 1t |
probable that up to the time of the gam
the battle will not be decided. Neither |
Bigelow's equal, although Wister, VIII
plays left end, may help out his tackle
Waller. the Princeton left guard. meets il
Goebel, of Yale, the only man in the centr
of the Yale line who has not been shifte
during the season. Goebel is strong an
shlfty, and, according to Yale men VIII
have watched him closely, likely to prov
q great factor In the winning of the game
His work during the season has not bee
spectacular, but he has been steady, an,
the very fact that the coaches have no
changed him is sufficient to indicate tina
he is thought well of. The right side o
the Yale line with Bigelow and Goebel
looks very strong. At centre Phillips, o
Princeton, and Congdon. of Yale, are abou
equally matched, and there should be lit
tie advantage on either side.
The Tigers will have one great asset
and that is the determination to wipe ou'
the blot put upon their record by the Cor
nell defeat. This determination. coupled
with a few mlsplays on Yale's part, ma,
turn the tide, but on comparative strength
and versatility of play Yale has the ad
vantage and will go into the game favorit'
with the public.
