Harvard is in splendid condition 10 go
into it's nrst big game Of the year. ana
the team itself is confident that IL Cdh

have impressed the men that Prlhce'ol
will play hard and fierce football from
start TO finish. and the players VINO par
ticipated in last years game, In Whlch
Harvard was beaten to 8, when an easy
Crimson victory was expected, are fun OF
fight.
Princeton has not played at Cambridge
since 1896. and the Harvard team has not
beaten the Tigers at football since 1881.
There is very little betting on the game
here The Princeton men ask 10 to ODDS
from Harvard which is willing TO give
no better than even money. AS Soldiers
Field probably will be soft and Harvard
has slightly the heavier team, possibly
the 10 to odds will be forthcoming to-
morrow.
The lineup to-day in the cage was the
same as that which Harvard will present
tomorrow, with one exception. II. Hard
wick, who will start the game, was not
in the signal drill He is In good condi-
| ton, however. Brickley, about whom
there was some uncertainty the first OF
the week, is ready and so is Captain
| Wendell. who has had lame ankle.
| The team that will play the Tigers to-
morrow comprises six players who were
in the game last year and five members
| OF last years freshman team, who will
| get into their first big varsity contest.
FELTON,, Hitchcock, Storer, Gardner and
! Wendell all played against Princeton In
| 1911, and Parmenter played against Yale.
| Coolidge, Trumbull and Pennocl, all OF
, whom are on the rush line, were on the
| 1915 eleven last fall, and SO were Brckley
and Hardwick, the backs. Fair weather
is promised tomorrow, but the field to-
night is not In very good condition In
| spite of the efforts that have been made
TO protect It.
Captain Wendell announced the lineup
| tonight after the practice. With the ex-
ception OF Gardner and Wendell, the team
will start the game as 1t did the Brown
game last week
The lineup follows:
FELTON,. left end; Storer, left tackle;
Pennock. left guard Parmenter, centre:
Trumbull, right guard; Hitchcock, right
| tackle; Coolidge. right end; Gardner.

Brickley, right halfback; Wendell, full
| back
After nearly eight hours on the train
| from Princeton, the Tigers arrived at
Auburndale tonight at $50 o'clock in
| pouring rain. A few old graduates met
the players, but most of the alumni were
in Boston 10 greet the coaches, who were
| entertained at monster smoker Keene
| Fitzpatrick was I'm charge OF the squad.
! being accompanied by DR.. Spaeth. The
| Princeton players were tired, but after
! dinner went out into the rain for a long
! tramp. They will have a short signal
drill on the golf club grounds in the morn
ing. and will start for Cambridge by au-
tomobile at 1890 o'clock.
None OF the men showed the effects Of
| the game with Dartmouth last week ex-
cept Bluethenthal, who was still wearing
] the scars OF the struggle week ago.
| The Tiger team will Re the same as that
which started the Dartmouth game ex-
cept that the right side OF the line will be
considerably strengthened by Z. Trenk-
mann. Penfield was the weak spot in the
| Tiger line last week, and Trenkmann is
said 10 be much better.
Captain Pcndleton said tonight that he
would not start HOBBY Baker tomorrow
but would hold him in reserve, as was
done last week. Il. Waller, therefore will
be at left halfback for the Tigers. The
Tigers arc confident that they will beat
Harvard again. Princeton tradition to be
upheld is that the Tigers have not been
beaten by Cambridge eleven for TWEEN
ty-fve years.
The Princeton undergraduates five hun
dred strong will arrive in the morning.
but will not come to Auburndale. After
tho game tho PriRceton players will take
the $50 train for New York.
