ton and Yale gridiron giants,
scheduled to take place tomorrow,
has filled the town with visitors and
has given rise to the flood of con-
lecture and representation that al
ways precedes this contest.
Tiger dopesters were confident
today that their eleven would
prove victorious. The defeat
at the hands of Harvard two weeks
ago has had little effect upon their
figures, for the loss of this game
was taken to be more in the nature
of an instructive setback than an
event that can affect the intrinsic
merit of the Princeton team.
Old grads and the under collegi-
ate body were alike strong in their
conviction that the Two weeks of
strenuous practice which was the
direct result of their teams defeat
before the Crimson line, has more
than made up for the raggedness
of the Princeton play. And these
same old and young football enthu-
siasts were more than willing to
back their opinion.
Tigers Average Weight 172.
Princeton will again match speed
against Drawn. In constructing
their system of play this year, the
Jerseymen made speed an all-im-
portant qualification. Old Nassau's
eleven is unusually light-the aver
age weight is but 172 pounds-but
the team has revealed versatile
attack. 1t has found comparative
ease in scoring, whether by line
plunging, runs around end, for
ward passes or goals from the field.
Yale stands indicated, while
Princeton has been beaten by Har-
ward but Yale has no such victory
to her credit as Princeton's % to Z
defeat Of Dartmouth. The week
after Yale beat Syracuse q to 0.
Princeton overwhelmed the same
team by 81 to 0. This would make
it appear that those who call Yale
the favorite in tomorrow's en-
counter have not as good an argu-
ment as those who call the PROPOSE
ton a tossup.
The punting and line-plunging
competition between Lefty" Flynn
and Fullback Dewitt holds forth no
greater promise of excitement than
the duel at center. Ketcham, the
Blue center rush, will be assured of
a diverting afternoons assignment
when he faces Bluethenthal. With
out "Bluey" the Tiger line would
feel lost The Princeton center is
out to steal Ketcham's all-Ameri-
can job.
Shenck and Logan, the Princeton
guards, are new players, like Pen
dleton, the Yale guard. All three of
these have displayed a great deal
of fire on the offense, but could
stand a deal of improvement on the
defense. Veteran Cooney, Of Yale.
while never brilliant, shows a lot
of action for such Il heavy man.
Yale Tackles Are Strong.
The Yale tackles, Talbot and
Warren, are particularly strong on
the defensive, Talbot. being espe-
cially eager and quick in action
They play high, but do much of the
work Of the end while on the Of
fensive Trenkman's ability is still
somewhat uncertain. owing to the
number of games he has missed
through injuries, but he seems to
be a reliable man Of fair speed. Vet
eIan Phillips makes up in aggres-
siveness what he lacks in heft and
should make things very interest
ing for Cooney.
As for the ends. they are not the
strongest part of either line, On
the defensive they DO we'll enough
but on the attack Yale's ends have
shown themselves particularly
weak. Unless there is a marked
Improvement in the work of Gil
lauer and Avery tomorrow, assum-
ing that they will be chosen, the
Tigers will have little TO fear from
the territory outside the tackles.
Yale's ends have had a religiously
devoted crew Of coaches working
on them daily since the Brown
game.
