ANOTHER BIG GAS SAND.
Franklin & Phillips Well is Making
From 40 70 SO Million Feet

The Franklin a Phillips we'll in
1928 in the Fox district, which found
a 30,0OQ,OOO gas sand at l44S feet,
drilled into the second gas sand yes
terday The second sand was picked
up at 1880 feet and with the drill
only few feet in the production was
estimated at from forty to fifty mill
ion feet The owners plan to lower
the eight-inch, braden head the gas
and drill on deeper IN search for an
oil sand
The comments among the fraternity
when the announcement was made of
the finding of the new sand were very
interesting. Some contonded that the
Fox field was almost exclusively Il
gas field, while othe-' stated that be
yond the question or a doubt some
wonderful oil sands would be found
there. The great majority of the eX-
perienced oil men are expecting a big
field at Fox. They have paid high
pirces for acreage and they are not
disappointed in the picking up Of
these gas sands; in fact they are en-
couraged by the presence of the heavy
gas.
The finding Of this sand makes the
fourth sand at Fox which produces
gas. One was found at 1850, one at
1880, one at 1900 and one at 1000 feet.
One oil sand has been found in the
Fox field 1t was at a depth of 1860
feet.

| the belief that the eleven has more at
its command than it has revealed to
date and it's ardent adherents are
counting upon the team to close it's
year with surprising revelation in
the way of scoring attack.
The Yale eleven did not move as
smoothly early in the fall as the Or
ange and Black but the Blue has been
gathering momentum rapidly in the
past few weeks and is formidable
foe at the present moment. The Ellis
have demonstrated that they have
both a strong offense and defense and
are capable of coping with either the
ground or aerial system of advancing
the ball. The play has been marked
at times by uncertainty and lack of
consistency but each game has shown
improvement. The Princeton comNn-
alton appears to be a better football
machine but it is doubtful if it has the
potential strength Of Yale and should
the play enable the Blue to find itself
early in the game it will prove hard
team to defeat. H.,
The scoring power Of Yale is better
distributed than that of Princeton, so
far as touchdown making is concerned,
but in goal licking the Tigers hold the
advantage. In forward passing Yale
has shown a better offense and defense
to date and it would appear as though
the overhead attack will be used more
as a threat than a reality tomorrow.
Such advantages as Yale may posses,
however, appear to have made little
impression upon the Princeton sup
porters, who with faith i'll the idea
that this Is the Tigers year to win,
are covering every Yale wager and
waiting the coming of the morrow with
confidence.
In weight and amount of material
Yale appears to have decided advant-
age over Princeton but this is Offset, to
some extent, by the fact that the Tig-
er eleven is a veteran combination in
which some of the players have been
working together for two or three
years. The Yale line, as it has gone
into thet more important games of the
season, averages close to 200 pounds,
while the Princeton forwards range be.
tween t175 and $50 pounds, in average.
There is not the same marked differ
ences in the backfields the averages
being less than two pounds apart but
here again Yale is the heavier.

Yale And Princeton Clash
In Annual Classic Today;
Will be Big Game in East

Princeton, n. J., Nov. 1.-THE frs
OF the Eastern football classics vii
be played here tomorrow Afternoon
when the veteran Princeton clever
faces Yale in the forty-second annua
contest between these ancient grid
iron rivals. Teams from the two uni
versities first met in 1873 when ArleTi
can football was in the making and
each season since 1876 has seen re
newal of the struggle. Tonight the
series stands twenty-five games to ten
in Yale's favor with nine contests tie
and the total point score: Yale 245;
Princeton 179.
Regardless of the Overwhelming
margin of past victories piled up by
the Blue, the Princeton town and gown
is just as enthusiastic and confident in
the ability ,of the Tiger to overthrow
the Bulldog as though the series had
always resulted in defeat for Yale.
With a squad of veterans at his dis
posal Coach SPEEDY" Rush has built
up a powerful eleven which has been
specially groomed and pointed for this
particular contest, the closing one of
the Princeton season.
The fighting spirit Of the Blue is not,
however. underestimate by the Or
.ange and Black for even the present
undergraduates remember that within
their time Yale has wrested victory
from the Tiger when the game seemed
wOl. In so many respects Princeton
holds the advantage over Yale for the

4 Judged in the light of preceding
games this season it is difficult to
compare with accuracy the power Of
the two systems. Princeton this year
has shown disposition to play a
waiting game: swooping down upon
the opponents goal line after break
in the play had given the Tiger the
opening he sought. Except against
weak teams early in the season,
Princeton has not displayed an inclin-
alton to 60 out and force the score by
steady attack.
Tumbling at critical moments has
also been noted but the defense of the
team has been better than usual this
autumn. There have been certain
flashes in the Tigers play that lead to
