 Princeton's 1915 touchdowns have come usually as the result of long runs or costly fumbIes or misplays by Prince toms opponents. There has been TO consistent rushing Of the ball by the Tiger team; no gaining of first down after first down. except against the fensa. which Is held to be It's strong est characteristic. has been pushed back tellingiy by several of the strong CT os the Tiger opponents
 NOT has there been consistent field candidates. Tibbotes name has been hailed in several games. and so far az his drop kicking ability has been concerned he earned the acclaim. As rushing back. however, he was also much praised in two games, but in tho first of these, Tibbott's glory came because of 65-yard run to a touchdown. On occasions when he has been given the ball for gains of a few yards he has utterly failed, and un- that there was more than slight eie- ment of luck in his two long runs.
 Record Loses It's Glory.
 In another Tiger game, Ames, a sub stitute quarterback. was the hero He gained his fame as carrying back largely as did Tibbott, and since that one game has shown nothing of great III dIlOLueT game, EQ0y. a SUD- stitLte halfback, was the man most credited. and his glory came from sew eral long runs, which he has since beer, unable to duplicate or approach.
 Viewed from such an angle, Prince tons spotless record loses considerably of it's glory. and, with everything con slider ed, reveals the Tiger team as a fair defensive eleven, possessing two first class punters and a good drop kicker. but having next to nothing in the nature of a carrying attack.
 Haryard's showing, although it has huctuated from good to bad and back again several times. has averaged con- Siderably better than that of Prince ton and has revealed the facts that in Mahan Harvard has a punter and drop kicker whose ability Is on 9. par, at least with that of the Tiger booters, and that when his teammates really give him the support they are capable of giving him he can outmatch the entire Princeton backfield in carrying the ball
 Harvard Better on Defense.
 It has revealed the fact that the carrying power of King, Rollins. Rob inson and Boies is equal and in some cases much better than that of any Tiger who will oppose them today while it has shown the line slightly weaker in the three centre positions, but much more powerful at other POAhIS' "AlCh anu IdTSOl dEt dI the tackles and Harte and Soucy at the ends.
 Harvard, playing the game it has shown itself capable of playing, is much better offensive eleven and a somewhat better defensive eleven than Princeton, and if Harvard men play the game they have shown themselves capS<Ie of playing, particularly in fur nishfng Mahan interference, and, in addition, have anywhere near an equal amount of the breaks in luck, Harvard should score. not only one, but several comparatively small score.
 Harvard's offensive promises the most success if it is driven at or around the Princeton ends. The Tiger wingmen, with the exception of Brown, are light. and Brown is not in the best condition. Giving Mahan or Rollins. or the other Harvard backs proper interference, the Tiger ends should be overcome. Once through or around these wing men, Click, the Princeton captain and quarterback is the only really good secondary defen- sive man who must be encountered, and with one or two of Mahan's teammates delegated to take care of Clicks defensive work, gains and substantial gains will result.
 Harvard Can Make Play Sure. With Gilman and Parson at the tacKIe positions Harvard should be In position to make these plays sure for both of these Harvard Iinesmen know more football and are consider ably better able to put their knowl- edge to use than are the men who will oppose them. In fact, so uncertain are the Princeton coaches concerning the ability of Halsey, last seasons freshman guard, to successfully fill one of the tackle positions that several men are being groomed to relieve him. and then one another throughout the contest.
 Princeton knowing Harvard's reli- ance is largely upon Mahan, will un- doubtedly try it's best to stop his ad- vances. and will play him hard every time he carries the ball. But Mahan is an unusual player and a difficult man to stop even when defensive plays are especially framed to stop him Cornel was fairly successful, yet Ma hans ground gaining proved greater than that of any man on the Cornell team. Princeton. with ends of con- siderably less ability than were the Cornell ends will find that it has a tough task on it's hands.
 If such proves the case, and the Harvard team, in addition to backing up it's captain to the limit of its abil- ity. secures anywhere nearly an even | break in the luck, Harvard will win and win by substantial margin.
