Princeton. y. j., Nov. ~ All extra
coaches were banished 70 the side lines
at Princeton this afternoon as the first
measure in the preparations of the
Tigers 20 retrieve at least part Of their

After getting a good start. the
varsity lined up against the scrub and
held the defensive against Yale plays
for twenty or thirty minutes. They
found a couple of the formations rather
troublesome at first, and Borden and

gains before the plays were solved.
They failed to push the regulars much

Another period of twenty minutes
was devoted entirely to offence, and
one uninterrupted march down the field
resulted in a touchdown by Eberstadt,
