the Tigers and the last but one for the
Ellis Besides being e red letter this
also is a blue ribbon football event. which
color scheme comes from its being in

siderlbly shaken after the tie with Will
Jams and the drubbins by Harvard.
Against Harvard last week the Tigers
didn't exhibit enough football to hldi-
cate that they have bright chaipce
against Yale. and their chances to-day
depend GA what they have done this
week in getting their offence, which was
nil, together during the week.
II the Tigers have been aroused. II
they have shed that llstlessness which
afflicted them when they met Harvard.
there is no reason why they should not
put forth much better game than they
did week ago. The team has lacked
agSrossiveness N its last two games. and

made to restore that attribute for this

regarded as superior 10 the Jerseymen.

on the respective vigor with which tho

prove themselves.
There never was a time when the ANAL
makeup of both teams was in doubt 80

game have been I'm doubt UP to the eve

the Yale line not settled on until the

Princeton, and though they aren't the best
