share the blame if the Tigers are con-
quered.
The man whom Princeton has most
to fear is of Captain Ted Coy,
IL he is able to play. The Tigers
still remember the manner in which
he has ripped up their line in
the past, and they still recall how he
practically won the game last year.
For a ground gamer he has no equal on
the Orange and Black eleven, and NC
Cormick. who is the rival punter, Is
not in a class with the captain of the
Yale aggregation when it comes to the
length of his kicks. AS both of the
Yale ends, Vaughn and Fitzpatrick, are
generally conceded to be faster in get
ting down the field on punts than
WEIGH and Balm, their opposing ends.
Yale has a marked advantage in this
respect. In fact, Yale is better equipped
with kickers thar any team in the
country. Both Hobbs and Daily are good
at booting the ball. Earlier In the sea-
son in a game against Colgate, Coy
accomplished a feat similar to the one
which Cunningham performed last
week in the Dartmouth game, by kick
ing two goals from the field in the first
half of the contest. 1t was the first
time a Yale man succeeded in turning
thai trick since 1888, and was looked
upon as a record for the season until
Cunningham dropped two pretty ones
over the bar last Saturday against a
much stronger team. Cunningham's
stock has taken. a big jump over his
performance on Saturday. and it Is said
that he is the most feared man in the
Princeton lineup. Seigling and Wal
Ter are always full of life and play
a snappy game at their respective posi-
tions beside each other on the left wing
of the Princeton eleven. Neither OF
them has anything on Goebel and Lii
ley. In sthe quarterback position both
Bergin and Howe are new men, and
both are green. Howe has been chosen
over Corey, who played in the big
games last year, and it is said that
while he is a better man than either
of the other two players mentioned. he
is cratic and unreliable. Bergin is
also playing on the varsity team of his
college for the first time, and it is
said hat he runs the team we'll, but IS
a trifle slow in getting down the field.
Princeton's strength is said to lie in
the line, however, and IL may be able
TO withstand the onslaught of the New
Haven backs. Cunningham will be
dangerous if he gets anywhere near
the Yale s0-yard line. and the question
is win the Princeton backs, assisted
by trick plays arranged especially for
the game, be able 10 go through the
Blue line? Yale undoubtedly has the
advantage over Princeton in all of the
three back-ield positions with the pos
siblc exception of Cunningham. Cum
bingham and DAILY are both good kick
ers, but the Tiger has it on the Yale
man for accuracy. Sparks and Hart
are expected to be great. Both showed
rare form against Dartmouth on the
defensive and either of the Two may
spring a surprise in the game at New
Haven by ripping the Yale line to
pieces. When all things are taken into
consideration Yale does not seem to
have such a big advantage as she has
been. credited with possessing. Without
Eoy she does not look so very much
stronger. and Princeton may spring the
biggest surprise Of the season.
