ItlHCGlOll, y. y NOV. ID. - Hc etll-
nual battle f the Pr ne on and Yale
Gridiron giants, scheduled to take
place tomorrow, has filled the town
with visitors and mas given rise to the
flood OF conjecture and pr2gnostica
ton that always precedes this con-
test
Tiger lopesteIs We're emf dent this
afternoon t1at heir eleven would
prove V ctol ious The defeat at the
hands Of Harvard two weeks ego has
had little effect upon their figures,
for tie loss of this game was taken
tc be more in the nature Of an in
struc5iye setback than an event th2t
can affect the intrinsic merit of the
Pr nceton team.
Ola grads and tEe under collegiate
hody were alike stiong in Their con-
viction that the two weeks OF strenu-
GUS aractice Which WIS the direct re-
suit IF their team 5 defeat before the
Crimson line, 'las more than made up
for he raggednesss4 of the Princeton
clay And these same Id and young
football enthusiasts We're more tnan
willing 20 get baclll the + opin on.
Despite this air ofsconlidence how
ever, there was considerable ele-
ment whose non-partisan judgment
was more than willing to accede to
lie likely chance to carry off the
hcnors. 1t was the opinion Of this
coter e that the Yale football eleven
is the quest on marx Of the East.
TIE mere fact that Princeton has
to alec 316 points against 30, in
games with her opponents, and that
Yale has totaled but SO points against
her opponents 6, has nothing to do
with the equation, it was stated by
those with a leaning toward old Eli.
These adm rers of the Bull Dog be-
eve that the Yale team has been
careful not to give away its tricks
Of attack, being content simply to
win al it's games, so it may be, in
trinsicaEy, stronger combination
than the small score Of 20 to against
Brswn would ind cate. The | ne is
admittedly tle best in the east,-on
papAr-anI the backfield is without
question a powerful fighting COM
bination, with Flynn, Spalding and
Philbin.
These three have the punch and un-
doubtedly will deliver it tomorrow
Flynn is comparatively inexperienc-
ed player, hut he has been coming on
with rush, performing brilliantly
in every ono of his starts On paper
the Blue team is veritable wrecking
crew. On the field it has SO far failed
to vitalize its possibilities. Tomorrow
must bring the revelation. If the
squad doesn't find itself in this game,
it certainly can not be expected to
do SO against Harvard.
Princeton will again match speed
against Drawn. In constructing their
system OF play this year, the Jersey
men made speed an all-important
qualification. Old Nassaus eleven is
unusually light-the average weight is
hut 172 pounds-but the team has re-
yea led versatile attack. 1t has
found comparative ease in scoring
whether by line plunging, runs around
end, forward passes or goals from the
field
Yale stard undefeated. while
Princeton has been beaten by Har-
ward, but Yale has no such victory to
her credit as Princeton's % to Z de-
feat of Dartmouth. The week after
Yale beat Syracuse Il to 0, Princeton
overwhelmed the sam eteam by 62 to
0. This would make it appear that
those who ell Yale the favorite in to-
morrow's encounter have not as good
an argument as those who call the
proposition a tossup.
