Ends Appear Well Matched
IL Is hard TO pick an advantage for
one team or the other on the ends.
Highley and Brown apparently will
start the game for Princeton. Next

conspicuous man on the field against

brilliant tacklers. and both seem TO be
blessed with natural football instinct.

pair. Stillman and "Red" Brann, a keen
fight for the honors.

most dependable drop kicker for
Princeton, although Law, too, can be
called on if necessary.
The men from New Haven will have
the advantage Of about seven pounds
to the man in weight, but this is due
largely to the guards, Walden and
Conroy. In almost every other position
