favorites.
Both Yale and Princeton have known
what II Is TO be beaten this season. but
the Tiger defeat iE@of such recent dass
that the eleven can hardly recuperate
and get together for today's hattie. Com

opments Yale looms up superior in almost
every department-weight. speed, kick

need Of teamwork. The Orange and Black
has had more experience and that's about
her only advantage.
