No attempt is made to explain this

Making due allowances for exagger-

BGHck's team will, undoubtedly use ev-

lis necessary to figure what Yale has
to offer in opposition. Unless The New

the football faithful and while the
Tiger is generally favored to defeat
the Blue, interest in the contest is ex-
eeeding keen since many look foI. a
sensational last trench stand by the
Ellis that may upset the seasons form.
Tesa great extent the wish IS father
to the thought, for there is nothing in
the record of the present Yale eleven
to indicate that it will be able to
overthrow its rival from Princeton.
Princeton Defeated Only Once. /.
With the exception Of the check adj
ministered by Harvard. the Nassau
team has triumphed ever all the COM
binations faced this seasan and many
of these were teams of more than. or
binary football prowess. Yale, on the
other hand, has fallen an easy prey
for college .eleyens which in past years
were hardly able to furnish the Bull
dog with warming up exercise. Conse-.
quently the adherents of the Orange
and Black have been obliged to. offer
odds as high as 10 to Z in order to
bring out Blue backing. That there
is Yale money to be, had at any price
proves the existence of an opinion that
the Ellis have a chance of victory.

In the closing period of the game may

in the Princeton football spirit which

The Prineeson schedule brought one
strong team after another to the Tiger
lair and each in turn was sent away
defeated in most decisive manner.
Georgetown, Rutgers, Syracuse, Laf-
ayette and Dartmouth all fell before
the charge of the. Orange and Black
and 1t was not until Harvard was met
last Saturday that the powerful
Princeton eleven found an opponent
worthy of its. steel. Against the Grim
son, the Nassau team showed strong
defense and a powerful and brilliant
offense with the result that the adher-
forward with unusual confidence to
the meeting with the Bulldog. today.
In the Yale lineup uncertainty
reigns in place of the feeling OF VIC
tory which in past years has been
the portion of theN Blue. The Eli eleven
is just completing one of the most dis
asterous seasons in the history of the
gridiron game at Yale. Coaching diff
dculties upset the entire squad during
the early period of training and de-
feat at the hands of so-called minor
college elevens swept away the tradf-
tional confidence which has always
been Yale's football birth right Vir-
ginia, Washington and Jefferson and
Colgate all defeated the Blue by one
sided scores.
The situation finally became so un-
satisfactory to the undergraduates and
alumni bodies that drastic measures
were taken TO remedy the unsettled
football conditions. A hurry call was
sent out to a number of former
gridiron stars to come back and at
temp the task of whipping the Blue
into something like the old Yale foot
ball form for the Princeton and Har
ward games. With Tom Shevlin in the
lead the graduates took hold with a
vim end the result of the first week
was shown in the marked improve
ment of the eleven against the strong
Brown team.
Whether this eleventh hour rally
has sufficient impetus to carry the
Yale eleven to victory over Princeton
remains to be demonstrated but it is
certain that the Bulldog will put. UP
stiff battle against the Tiger when
theold rivals meet in the Bowl today.
Princeton presents one of the best
trained and coached combinations that
has come -sout of Tigerland in some
years and when the season records of
'hn two teams are compared it is not
strange that he Orange and Black
should be a favorite over the Blue.
Still the YaIe fighting spirit is heri-.
tGge handed down from class to class
and the Ellis have turned apparent
de,ea: into victory at Princeton's ex-
pense more than once.

any authority, would have produced
winning crews, has opened the eyes OF
the Yale faculty, although the fact was
known to the older graduates at the
time of Kennedy's retirement. It will
be recalled that after series OF vic
tories covering a dozen years Kennedy
was forced to resign after three or
four successive defeats
In sharp contrast to conditions that
have prevailed in football and baseball
during the last few years at Yale,
graduates point to the position at
present of Yale rowing. which, it is
claimed, is due entirely to the tactics
followed by Guy Nickalls 1t is well
known that in his department Coach
NIckalls brooks no interference from
any quarter and that outside infiu-
ences of graduates or undergraduates
are not taken into any account in his
reckoning. The fact that he admits
that similar results might have been
obtained by his predecessor If he had
been allowed to have his way in run
ming things has stirred up no end of
speculation.
Considerable dissatisfaction also is
expressed among members of the fac
ulty over the recent importation to
New Haven of the large coaching staff
that was called here by Captain Will
son as a last resort in trying to get the
Yale eleven into shape. OF recent years
tie faculty has looked aSkance at an
effort to have a large coaching staff
here. with the enormous expense that
is sure to be the result. The theory
that nothing ever has been accomplish
&c by bringing in a large number of
81 aduates. each with different theories
of what's the matter and what's the
remedy. still is held by large num-
Der here who hold that too many
cooks spoil the BROTH"
Although there is general dissatis-
faction among members of the Yale
faculty, graduates and undergraduates
over the football situation, there is by
no means any unanimity of opinion as
to the remedy even among the faculty
or these who are on the inside so to
speak There. are a good many who
feel that If football were run accord
I ing to Coach Nickalls, plan of govern
I ing Yale rowing all would be well, and
there is another strong element that is
! opposed decidedly toe professional
coaching in athletics, whether it re-
suits in victory or not. OF these last
some would like to see a graduate
coach in charge of football and base
ball who had real authority, and others
would like to see the old-fashioned
plan again worked of calling in old
players and coaches and have a board
ot coaches in charge.
Nearly all the Yale hackers in ath-
letics are agreed upon one poin. IN
! fooLball-that Yale has available or
should have from her graduates an ex-
ispert or experts who can handle the
f'situation here with more success than

Princeton Tigers and Blue Meet TO,
4fst Game.

When the Princeton and Yale foot
ball elevens meet on the gridiron at
New Haven today it will be for the
forty first game between the represen-
tative teams Of these. universities. The
series dates back to 1873. but it has
brought the Ellis and Tigers together
annually without interruption since
1876 when football was adopted as an
American college sport. Last year the
battle was waged at Princeton and
Memorial Stadium theme. This year
the Tigers as a team will have their
first glimpse of the vastness of the
Yale Bowl from the whitewashed lines
in the center of the big field which
was dedicated a year ago when Har-
ward defeated the Eli eleven SO to 0.
With the additional seating capaci-
ty furnished by temporary stands
built around the top of the structure.
last year, it was estimated that near
" 5000 persons saw the Harvard
Yale struggle. the receipts for which
ever, there win be no extra stands
erected, but judging from the advance
sale and requests for reservations a
10000 attendance is assured for to-
days battle.
Early last season both Yale and
Princeton had either suffered defeat
or been held to tie score game. Just
before they met Yale had piled up 159
points to 80 scored against her, while
Princeton had made 70 points to 46
scored by her opponents. These figures
made the outlook anything but prom
