There is not all sunshine ahead for the
Princeton Tigers after the decisive VIC
tory over the Indians there was a dis
position to regard the Yale game as al
ready won by many of the Princeton
adherents But the measure taken OF the
Carlisle Indians will hardly At Old Eli
The character OF the game played by
Princeton against the Indians was calcu-
lated to impress the superficial observer
of the game with high opinion of Prince
toms strength. but the essentials of sue
eess-stanch defense againct varied at
tack and a forceful. well-rounded ofense-
were not demonstrated. The Tigers merely
did we'll in the kicking game. varying their
kicks. following them we'll, and protecting
the catcher admirably 1t Is unlikely that
Yale will as passively accept the Tiger su-
periority. Probably Yale will have a bit
of kicking game herself
The Princeton offense lacked concentra-
tion and power against the Indians, at
least power sufficient to make impress
sion against Yale. OF course the day pro-
h!bited forward passing and restricted
speed but 1t was an excellent test of line
breaking power. All rinceton's gains
were made by this means. but the princi-
pal gains were not due to Undertaking

lakes. On nearly every one of the runs

though the Indians plowed through

Tigers Weakness.
The Tiger coaches believe that the
line can be bolstered up. They say it
IL green. but capable of development
10 the top notch. but there Is very little
time left to develop linesmen. There
has been a great deal of shifting Of the
line. and 1T has not been conducive to
good play. Neither the guards nor the
tackles are near first-class as yet, and
while Phillips Is as good a center as
whole line. The secondary defense Is
The best feature of Princetons play
The Tigers put great .aith in the
back field. Dillon and Mccormick are
frst-class men. but aside from Harlans
kicking there is not much to his play
and Iibbott has yet to show caliber
against a real strong defense. He Is
certainly not so good a man as Rulon-
Miller.
Yale coachers who saw the Tigers
play are not losing any sleep over the
proposition ahead Of them. in spite of
the poor showing against Washington
confident Yale can win. The only
thing that distresses them at all is the
great weight of the line. They be-
lieve the only possible weakness be-
nd ha hn1
stored up, and that Its defense Will
then be equal to any attack Princeton
can show. AS for the back field. the
addition of Brides ought to help 1t
they can see for Princeton to win is
for the Tigers to play its kicking
game up to the excellent standard
shown against the Indians. And they
believe they can stave that oft.
Indians In Good Condition.
CARLISLE. November 5.-Following
their defeat by the Tigers the Carlisle
Redskins returned here Sunday in not
nearly so bad physical condition as was at
first reported. Not single Carlisle
player is really out of the game. al

possible. owing to the bruises sustained
By the players. No scrimmage was held,
but there will be one this evening between
first and second teams, and on each sue

Warner has advised the Indians that they
will have TO play a much better game
against Harvard than they did on Sat
urday against Princeton.
Tigers Chase Tennis Balls.
PRINCETON. n. j., November 5-After
a weii-earned victory Saturday the Tiger
foot bail squad was given d rest yester-
day. Not one of the regulars reported for
practice. but spent the afternoon batting
and chasing tennis balls. Coach Roper.

against the Indians, is giving them days

the two remaining games.
