Both Have Been Defeated
The fact that both teams have pre-
viously suffered defeat and are there
fore eliminated from the eastern cham
pionship race has in no wise affected
the enthusiasm or loyalty of their sup
porters. All else is forgotten, If not
forgiven, in the meeting of Yale and
Princeton. Wagering on the outcome
of the game Is brisk, with even money
/ quotations prevailing, and there is the
usual laying of freak bets, which hinge
on the size of the score, method of
scoring and other similar features. The
i demand for tickets far exceeds the ca
i pacity of the Yale Field stands and
the few coupons that have found their
way into the hands of spectators are
being quoted at many times their face

these great inter-varsity contests. Be

new stadium, accommodating $4,000

| famous stretch OF turf, whereon grid
iron deeds of great valor have been
accomplished. will be but a memory. 1t
/ IS hitting, therefore, that the passing of
the old arena, with it's towering tiers
of wooden seats. should be recognized
by final enaction of the scenes that
| have made the field part of Yale uni
yersity life for several generations. In
the thirty ninth meeting of the football
| teams of these two institutions the re-
sultant play and attendant enthusiasm,
which will sweep the stand with every
| brilliant run or tackle, promises to
supply A climax in keeping with the
history of Yale Field.
This is particularly true since the
game is expected to develop a hard
| fought gridiron battle, in which victory
will remain in doubt until the closing
moments of the contest Considered
broadly, the competing elevens appear
| to be evenly matched. Both have ex-
perieneed reverses during the season,
but have finally rounded into form for
the crucial games of the autumn.
Judged entirely the records made7
during the past two months, Princeton
appears to have a decided edge in the
matter of comparative scores and gen
eral field showing, but as an offset to
THIS 1t DluSL De taken INTO consideration
that the Yale team was slow in de-
velopment and did not rise to full
strength until within the past ten
days.
Work Of Ellis Eleven.
Starting with a comparatively light
weight squad and few veterans or
stars, the Eli eleven has played by fits
and starts all season. At times the
leading combination has shown flashes
of really brilliant football only to

fully drilled in the fundamentals of the
game, strong defense was early de- |
veloPed, which later appeared to be
entirely forgotten. The offensive play
of the team during the September and
october months was the weakest
shown by a Yale team in years, and
Improvement in this respect has been
slow during the past few weeks. Under |
the new coaching system with Howard
Jones in charge, the practice has been
severe and the injury list unusua,ly |
heavy. Several of the leading candi- |
dates. including Cornish the varsity |
quarterba ok, have been obliged to re-
tire for the season. Held to no-score
ties by Maine and Washington and
jefferson, and defeated by Colgate, the !
Blue has continued its policy of de- |
veioping slowly but surely for the |
games with Princeton and Harvard. |
The success or failure of the Yale |
season is based on the showing made |
in these two games. and Eli supporters |
hold that the coaching policy viii be /

Princeton players and adherents |
hold an entirely different view of the
outcome of the game, just as their |
early season coaching and play differ
from that of the Blue The Tigers
were far more fortunate in the matter
of material at the beginning of the |
autumn. There were a number OF |
heavy line candidates and several fleet
footed backs, and a result the /
coaches adopted the plan of building a
team about these backs. The brunt of /
the scoring fell upon Capt. Baker and /

Princeton line could hold the charges
of the opponents the plan worked well |
and Princeton marched forward I'M

Realizing that the system is use did

team strength there was a radical
shift following the Dartmouth game,
and q week later Princeton ran up a
