the fact that Miss Ethel Roosevelt
will be among the fair enthusiasts
who will seek to cheer the Yale elev-
en- on to victory in tomorrow's strug-
gle with Princeton, it is becoming in
creasingly evident that the Ellis are
facing a fight which may be a diff
ferent issue from that confidently
anticipated. The feeling that any
sort of Yale team can beat a Prince
when the Tiger and the Bulldog
come together at New Haven tomor-
row. The Tigers from Growers town
victorious over the bloodthirsty Indi-
ans of Carlisle, have waxed fat in
confidence and apparently have no
| fear of the outcome. A victory of the
orange and black over the blue is not
among the football impossibilities.
Among football experts tomorrows
game is being referred to as the bat
tie of the boots. So certain are they
that kicking in its various footba
phases will be the prime factor in
the struggle that comparison of the
fspheroide hosting abilities of the
Ellis and the Tigers are almost the
sole subjects of discussion.
Reports from New Haven state
that the entire $4,000 seats avail
able have been engaged and that
with fair weather the game will
probably be the largest mob of spec
tators ever assembled at Yale grid
! iron.
Miss Ethel Roosevelt, the daugh-
ter of the president, will witness the
game as guest of Charles Carroll
Glover, Jr., of Washington, Yale
sophomore. Quarters for Miss Roose-
welt and her chaperon have been re-
served at the New Haven house. Yale
men are picking up hope that Miss
Ethel Roosevelt will not follow the
lead of Their sister, Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth, and be a Harvard girl
in her social selections Mrs. Long
worth, as Miss Roosevelt, refused all
invitations from Yale men, but ac-
copied all that came from Harvard.
With the presidents daughter as a
spectator, wearing the blue of Yale,
the gallant gladiators of old Eli
undoubtedly do their best to tail
the orange and black banner in the
mud of defeat.
Little interest is manifested in the
other eastern games scheduled for to-
morrow, which include Harvard VS..
Portsmouth, at Cambridge Amherst
vs. Williams, at Williamstown; West
Point VS.. Tufts, at West Point; Ann
apolis VS.. Pennsylvania State, at
Annapolis; Syracuse vs. Lafayette,
at Syracuse Cornell VS.. Swarthmore.
at Ithica; and Washington and JEFF
ferson VS.. Western University, at
Pittsburg.
CdSt VIII meeL the west.
Two great intersectional games
between eastern and western teams
will be played in the west tomorrow.
Pennsylvania meeting Michigan at
Ann Arbor, and the Carlisle Indians
playing Minnesota at Minneapolis.
The redskins, unless all football
signs fail, will have little trouble in
piling up an overwhelming score
against the Minnesota Gophers. The
Observation-Disclosures offers great
er reasons for doubling the suprem-
acy of the east over the west. Great
progress has been made by Ann Ar
boris institution in building Tup a
formidable eleven, and the Battle
cry of the season has been 1--WE are
going to lick Pennsy."
This confidence of the western en-
thusiasts has taken substantial form
in the last week or two, and many
big wagers have been reported. One
over-enthusiastic easterner recently
offered to bet $1,000 to 1000 that
Penn would defeat Michigan, and hi:
offer was snapped up eagerly by De.
troit alumni. Since then the odds
have fallen considerably, and the ad.
mirers Of the maize and blue are ap-
parently willing to cover all offers.
Special trains will be run from al
parts of Michigan and from many
large cities in Ohio, Indiana and nli-
nois to Ann Arbor, and the greatest
crown of fans ever seen in the Mich.
