EXPECT BOWL TO
 BE CROWDED FOR PRINCETON CONTEST

New Haven. New 5-Yale is certain of filling the new bowl with spectators at the football game with Princeton Saturday, Nov 13. according to a statement made by an official of the Athletic Association last night. This has been regarded as most unlikely by Yale men who have insisted that it Would be possible to fill the bowl at the Yale-EIarvard games but not at the YaIe7Princ events played here
 Last year there were even some dis senters from the prophecy that the bowl would be filled at the Yale liar yard game When the day of the game arrived, however, thousands of people were turned away and tickets were selling at as great a premium as ever.
 As Harvard has many thousa nd more alumni than Princeton, however. i it was believed that the bowl should be filled last fall. but predictions were renewed that there would be vacant seats this fall. At the opening of the new Princeton stadium last fall in the game with Yale, there were about i 9 900 vacant seats
 The statement that the bowl will be filled Nov. 3 is expected to create some surprise, but seems to esta bIisIa the fact that almost twice as many more people will witness the Yale FflnceCon game hefe thlS falI than att tended last November in Princeton. when about 34.O00 witnessed it.
 The capacity of4the bowl next week will be about 61, ,000. It was about ST. 900 last year, but some of the seats around the parapet have been remov- ed. A small block of seats sent back from Princeton makes public sale possible. These will probably be taken up in short order.

TEAM
 RELIES ON DRIGGS
 AND DAVE TBBOTT

Princeton, N. J., Nov. 5-A drizzling
 rain broke in on the Princeton prac-
 tiee yesterday. but Coach Rush, took
 his men to the baseball cage. where,
 in along drill. a defense against liar i yard Formations was practiced-
 Although Coach Rush has seen to it that there is no overconfidence, the
 players appear to have great faith in
 their coach. The general opinion is
 that the Tigers won't have an easy time of it. but that they intend to put up an awful fight.
 In the plans which Princeton has been making for the game with Har- ward there are two men who play most important part. Defensively and offensively the Tiger squad this year will be more of a unit than has been the case for a generation, but still there are two men who stand out as pre- eninentIy important in the work. of the eleven. This is due mainly to the fact that Princeton will make such a great use of the kicking game The men who are relied upon to help so. materially in the games with Harvard and Yale, which mark. the close of Princeton's season., are Eddie I Driggs, the fullback. and Dave Tfb- | bolt, Ntl1e right half Both are kick CTS and that has a great deal to do with their pre- dominance. DrigSs is 1 probably one of the best, if not the l best punter of the season. His eN- | hibition not only of kicking ability,
 but Of thinking ability, in the game
 with Dartmouth drew upon him the
 attention of all the critics The Tigers expect to use Driggs' boot to get with in striking distance of their oppon- | ents' goal line this Saturday.
 The Tigers have Dave Tibbott, and
 this man has been trained to drop | kick in quite a nice style. Two sue
 cessful field goals, one from the for l ty-four and one from the forty-three i yard line marked his prowess in the Dartmouth game. So long as these 1 two men remain in the game Prince l ton ay well depend upon her kicking 1 game in the big contests to come.

 The varsity lineup was unchanged and it is expected that it will be used against Brown. With the possible exception that Higgin botha.m is almost certain to return to left end and Bald ridge will play a part of the game. at left tackle. It is not certain whether he will be started or will be sent late into the play. The coaches have decided to keep ,Claud Black out of the game till next week.
