of rushing plays. bears out the opinion that the real Tiger attack had been kept under cover all season
 Admitting that the Tiger attack, shown in the Harvard game. was known quantity to the Princeton coach and captain, one has to acknowledge that poor judgment was shown by them in not adopting such an attack, when, after the first few exchanges of kicks, it was evident that Mahan could outpunt Driggs. On the other hand if one is to admit that Prince ton did not know the rushing ability of it's backs, a distinct error was made ili not finding out and developing this rushing ability.
 Room for Improvement.
 In either case either the, tactics or the coaching was lacking, and al respects must be admitted. there was room and possibility of still greater, and this, if used or developed last week. would have retained for Prince ton its claim with Cornell and fltts- burg for the eastern championship.
 Harvard's tactics in that game, both as they concerned Coach Haughton and Quarterback Watson were flaw less. Seeing that Mahan was outpunt- ing Driggs. Watson called for punts on was in a position to score, and when Mahan's kicks began to lack the dis tance of those of Driggs, Watson kept the team rushing the ball on every possible occasion.
 No Easy Victory Over Vale.
 Now approaches the Princeton Yale game Princeton cannot look for an easy victory over the Blue. Princeton once did look for such a victory over such a team and Princeton lost. and even Harvard, with a much better team, was forced to scoreless tie, and there is much that would indi- cate a similar, if notSbetter stand will be made by the Blue this year. Such things admitted and with Princeton realizing it has power to rush the ball, tactics will play just as prominent a part as they did at the Palmer Memo rial stadium last Saturday,. and Prince ton should be in a. position. to use tactics to it's advantage.
 Vale Will Play Tactical Game.
 Yale can be counted upon to play the game from tactical angle and play 1t well. It was tactics that gave Yale a victory over Princeton and virtual victory over Harvard in 1910, when Shevlin was called upon to pull to- gether a much battered Eli eleven. Shevlin replaced defensive men by offensive men, when he confronted Princetons 1910 defensive team, and he replaced offensive men for defen- sive men when he encountered liar wards 1910 offensive team, and by do- ing so he beat Princeton and tied Har- yard.
 shevIin Has Better Material Than in
 1e1o.,
 This year with much better material upon which to work: with an eight day advantage in whipping these men into shape. and with the defensive ability of these men shown, despite the obsence om several real stars Shevlin is in a better position to make a strong showing than he was in 1910 Yale men and Yale players are confi- dent of making such a showing The players have replaced despair at con- tinual defeats by the teams of smaller colleges with confidence of beating it's two big rivals. which gives them big asset at the start and with Shevlin manipulating the tactical as- pect of Saturdays game, Princeton will be put to it's best
 Psychologically, Yale has an advan. tage in having recovered from the despair of defeat, just as Princeton has experienced such despair. Tac- ticaHy, Yale has an advantage witt Shevlin at the wheel, over Princeton with Rush at the wheel. Princeton's players and the Princeton team, as a whole, have shown more and better football than Yale in past games Upon whether this ability of Prince tons will overcome the psychological and tactical advantages of Yale, Sat- urday's game will turn, and Yale mer are confident it will turn in their ia. vor.
