 IDEA OF TEAMS. Father of Football at Yale Makes Comparison for the Journal and
 Courier. HARLAN THE MAN
 ELS MUST FEAR Both Elevens Have Brilliant Backiields- Tigers onside Kick a Play to be
 Watched.

WatIef camp or Ihe class of lSS0, who has been called the father of foot ball at Yale and who was one of the most famous players who has ever represented the Eiis dn the gridiron, last night gave to the IIournal- Courier a forecast of the game. MT Camp has been at Yale field this fall more than he has for several years previous He has also followed the Princeton play ing and so his comparison is especially valuable. Mir. Camp said
 Two teams meet on the Vale field to- day that typify two distinct styles of play. Princeton, the fast, rapid, strik- ing machine. depends upon quick knife-like ianceS Into Nts opposing line, striking anywhere 2Y8n tackle to tackle, but usually making q quick break and dash. Yale, slower but more powerful, swings cumulative force, deceptlvely moving, but furnishing shield for the runner until he reaches his point of attack and then shooting him out with the momentum of a strong charge, well backed up and carried through Princeton has in It's offense a very dangerous on-side kick that worked havoc with the Indians and the direct cause of Prineeton's first score and had much to do with the de- moralization of the Carlisle team. Yale has nothing as effective in this line, but has in Coy longer distance kick CT than Princeton If Coy, however, outkicks his ends or rather if his ends do not safely cover his kicks and tackle more certainly than have any ends that have thus far faced him, Dillon, the brilliant little quarterback of the Tigers, will most assuredly run the kick back so far as not only to equalize the distance gained on any exchange of punts, but he may come back all the way as he did upon more than one occasion against the very clever Indian ends. But when 1t comes to this kind of work Yale has in Jones and Coy two men who, while they may not be so elusive as the Princeton quarter, has shown in almost every game this year an ability to find their way back through broken up field l0A lildlly d yehAu f19 LOl lOI WdTu DHSSeS neither team has on public form at least exhibited anything remarkable in this respect. Whether this is not in one way good recommendation is a question, for forward passing if not backed up with the fundamentals of a good all-round game is not likely to be as effective in the latter part of a season when the defence of both teams has been perfected as in the earlier games against inferior defense.
 But there Is an element of luck in the forward pass that nlny decide any very close contest, especially if sprung unexpectedly. The two lines are not as brilliant at the back fields. In Wes- ton and Brown Princeton has a won- dorful pair of ends, but in Biglow Yale has admittedly the best tackle of the year, while Alcott and H. Jones are not conceded by Yale men to yield to the Princeton ends. Phillips of Prince ton is the more experienced center, but as for the rest of the line men on both sides they have their regulations to make and never a better opportunity than to-day to accomplish that.
 On a dry f1eld, as is hoped. the game will be one of the most interesting. cloeely fought contests of the year ana every superiority of one team seems equally matched by one of the other with the sole exception of the drop kicking of Harlan of Princeton. Here the visitors have an asset that Yale can only answer with wait and see" for no man has more consistently made good with drop kick goals than this same Harlan and Yale must earn enough through her running game to offset this or the fortunes of war may be turned by this young mans un- errinrr toe.
