Princeton viii go into the football
game against Yale tomorrow in high
spirits. This isn't always the case.
No matter how strong the Tigers ap-
peared to be and how weak the Ellis
seemed to be, there was always the
fear at Princeton that the Bulldog
would show particular strength on
that particular occasion. It has al
ways seemed harder for Princeton
somehow to beat Yale than to beat
her other opponents, even when Yale
didn't show any considerable ability.
But this year. Princeton feels as if
she has nothing to fear She looks
| to be the best and she is the best,
and although Yale may play her to
standstill, play her to a tie, and
maybe spring n huge surprise and
beat her, Princeton will go into the
battle at New Haven tomorrow full
of confidence. full of cheer, full of
the spirit that for once, at least, she
has 1t on Yale from any and from
every angle before the whistle blows
for the contest.
Princeton has had better foot
ball team all year than she has been
given credit for. The fact that Dart
mouth beat her on a field ankle-deep
In mud shouldn't be taken as proof
of the superiority of Dartmouth over
Princeton. The game wasn't a real
| test and the defeat was fluke-a
mistake Though because of that de-
feat, Dartmouth Is being classed with
Harvard, in that the Crimson only
won from the Tigers by a field goal.
Yet the play of Harvard and the
play of Dartmouth is not to be COM
pared In Mahans the Crimson team
has one of the greatest players Of
the age and in Brickley no superior
as q punter or an all-around man.
| All Harvard will have to do is to
beat Yale q week from tomorrow and
she will be entitled to the champion
ship. OF course, there are some who
will contend that Dartmouth is as
much entitled to the honors as is
Harvard providing the Hanover
boys beat the Indians. but Harvard
as winner of Yale will be accepted
as the best team we have in the
East.
The game between Princeton and
Yale tomorrow, while having all the
earmarks of o Tiger victory, should
be decidedly close. Like Princeton,
Yale has spruced up lot. The Tigers
have improved rapidly and solidly
during the last two weeks. and Yale
is said to have come into her own
like sixty in the last five or six days.
With Yale very good and with Prince
| ton very good, the prospects of scor-
ing doesn't appear to be SO awfully
bright Yale hasn't a star like Brick
ley, and HOBBY Baker, Princeton
star hasn't been doing very much
this season. AS it looks from here,
| the Tiger and the Bulldog will indulge
in strenuous battle, with Prince
ton, of course, on form. having the
call. That there may be no-score
game to witness would not be so
surprising. or that one team or the
other may win on some fiuke or some
sensational play is also to be figured
on. As to the scoring, though, one
! touchdown should surely win the day,
and even field goal may be suffl-
cient

| As the teams go into battle Prince
ton is to 5 favorite. She really
ought to be a to 1 chance. Yale
hasn't shown a thing all season. while
Princeton has displayed form in every
one of her games. Evidence of this
must be admitted when some of the
experts are declaring Dartmouth the
best team Of the year, and yet Dart
mouth beat Princeton on an out-and-
out mistake. From purely gambling
standpoint, the Tigers seem to be a
very good bet. Sentiment Is sure to
cut a big figure in the contest, in
which event you will find as many
Yale admirers who are willing to
wager even money OF accept small
odds on the outcome. Yale is always
strong in betting. and, like New York,
she backs her favorite sons to the
limit That's why you can always get
a bet against Yale and you can al
ways get good price for your money
But betting doesn't mean a thing In
football The performance on the
field Is the thing. 1t would be accord
ing to dope for Princeton to win. II
would be big surprise If Yale were
to win. That is the situation exactly
