This means that Princeton will hat
its first dry field for an importa{
game this season. The real worth /
the Tiger backs should be show
under these conditions. Against bot
Harvard and Dartmouth, the Tige
slipped and slid through mud an

This e the last game OF the seas(,
for Princeton. and having lost II
Dartmouth and Harvard. the Tigebl
must win to land In high positib

for the Harvard game and one OF q
arguments against them today vic
whether they have held that ed

Yale has been brought along sIowt
and has yet TO reach top form n
the clash with Harvard.
The lineup has been constant

was some doubt early today % h
whether Carter or Brann would stdr
the game at right end.
