YALE'S FIGHT WILL
WIN, SAYS FOLVELL
Pennsylvania Coach Holds
That Spirit Will Discount

FORCE A VITAL ISSUE

coaches and critics 10 it, standard.

Princeton game vac strongly in favor
Of Harvard to defeat the Els to-mor.
row, but the factor Of Yale fighting
spirit has since taken on formidable pro-
portions.
In our further search Of opinion from
leading football figures va sought that
OF bob Folwerl. head coach At Pennsyi-
vania, yesterday. Folwell believes that
Yale will win. He sizes up the game as
a test between spirit and splendid school,
Ing. and he holds that fight will turn
the tide In favor Of Tad Jones's eleven.
Folwell also thinks that the quality Of
substitute material Ia to be regarded as
a major factor, and that on their show
Ing against Brown the Haughton second
s;rlngers cannot be ranked with the
Yale substitutes.
incidentally Foiweli makes the asser.
ton that Harvard's FIRST team would
have been whipped by Brown. and that
Haughton sent In his substitutes In an
attempt to hide the fact that the Bears
were the superiors Of the Crimson and
to avoid the moral effect Of q beating for
Harvard. Here's Foiwelrs dope:
wagers .. Fighting Men.
"Yaie's spirit will meet the highly
schooled Haughton machine. and I think
spirit will win. Harvard hid some Of Its
strength when II played Brown-how
much In q question that one must deal
with in making q hazard as TO Harvard's
real strength. I do moi think the Grim
son concealed much OF IL power. but that
Haughton shot In some OF his eecond
stringers to cloud the act that Brown
was the better eleven and to avoid the
moral effect Of q licking for his first
team.
ITS an old saying that a team Is no
stronger than Its substitutes. Well, Har.
ward subs showed nothing against
Brown. whereas Yale has q corking sec.
ond string OF men with all the spirit Of
Its FIRST string. Harvard's second strins
cannot be near the perfect machine as
the hrst players. therefore another edge
for the Yale team.
"Haughton's cool. almost faultless ma
chine may win. but I would wager on the
lighting man with his heart set on mas.
terry. think Tad Jones has instilled
This spirit into his men,"
Folwell may have the right dope, but

Games cannot be won merely on fight
Ing spirit. While on this subject II
might be ventured that certain mem
bers OF the Crimson eleven are not likely
to stand by ccmplacently and let Yale
men maui them. Yale II go!rg out TO
overwhelm Harvard through sheer brute
force. and from the start the game In
going to develop into one Of the rough
est and toughest exhibitions Of terrific
tackling yet seen.
