BELIEVES THERE'S
A CHANCE TO BEAT YALE
Eleven INDUCES in Light Practise to Acquire Speed at Farm
ington-Eli Players Are Confident and Ready for
the Great Struggle on SATURDAY..

The Tigers are not convinced that
they have not only a fighting chance,
but an expectation of victory over
Yale on Saturday, and every man on
the squad is imbued with the spirit
expressed in the oft-quoted words 1--WE
will beat Yale"
Year after year since 1903 the valiant
defenders Of the Orange and Black have
striven for the supremacy of the foot
ball world with the Blue. Waiting and
working and watching throughout the
entire season with but one object in
view, and year after year no matter
how promising are the prospects nor
how strong the team, the Yale elevens
have seemed to rise to the occasion
when the crisis arrives.
1t was in 1903 that Princeton last
won from her mighty rival. The Tiger
team of that rear won the college
championship by going through the
entire schedule without sustaining a

displaying the wonderful yale spirit,
repulsed every attack of the supposedly
stronger Tiger backs. They finally
wore the Princetonians down, and were
prevented from winning the game by
scoring a touchdown. only by the
referees whistle.
Two years ago Princeton again
seemed to have the game won, when
at the end of the first half the score
was 100 in her favor, but the Yale
team, imbued with a conqueriess spirit

in the last half and as both goals were
kicked won the contest by a two point
margin.
Princeton has never recovered from
the shock she received tina memorable
day. A certain victory was turned
into crushing defeat in the twinkIing

feated last year, 1910. is still game and

NEW HAVEN. Nov. 1L-Ten minu-
tes' scrimmage drill was all that hap
rened at Yale Field yesterday, ac-
cording to the Yale coaches. The team
spent an hour n a half with the bars
up.
