Washington, Pa, Oct. 22.-More
interest is conferred in the w. & j.
Vale game of next Saturday at New
Haven than has ever before been
shown in a combat between these in
stitutions. 1t is recognized that the
struggle is a crucial one from the W.
& j. standpoint, for on its result will
hinge the question of ultimate sue
cess in sectional title clashes with
Pittsburg, Washington and Lee, Chat
tanooga and Rutgers. There Is no
doubt about w. & J. desiring to win
from the Yale Bulldog. The success
Of the Red and Black over the Blue
during the past three years when he
victories and one tie were secured has
vhetted the w 4 J. appetite for more,
and nothing aside from a win from
the opponents in the sectional pre-
miership struggles would please more
than another victory over the Ellis.
W. d j. has watched the new Yale
play and has, through its scouts. en-
deavored to be prepared for the Yale
attack and have something to BATTLE
