YALE PRINCETON GAME is
BIC Event FOR TOMORROW
Harvard Brown and Michigan-Penn Contests Also
of Interest to Football Fans

The e-Princeton puzzle will pc
solved tomorrow when the football
warriors clash at Princeton. In view
of the Tigers feat of holding Harvard
to one field goal, there has, been
disposition in some quarters to rate
Princeton as stronger than Yale. 1t
is admitted on all sides that the Tigers
have a veteran line which is better
than Yale's but the New Haven boys
claim to have an advantage in the
backfeld. briggs of Princeton is a
better kicker than any Yale man, but
in LeGore Yale has a better ground
gamer than Princeton can boast. In
New York Princeton is a slight favor
lite in the betting.
Another good contest scheduled for
tomorrow is the Pennsylvania ichi-
gan game at Ann Arbor, Mich. The
Quakers have been. erratie in their
work this season, but so has Michigan.
PENIS greatest triumph was holding
Dartmouth to tie while Michigan
won from Syracuse early in the season.
The Brown-Harvard battle is another
big attraction assigned for tomorrow.
if the Crimson. can get away with that
Coach Haughton deserves credit.
The Danbury football team must
have some great foul shooters. The
Hatters made Is points on foul throws
when they beat the Blue Ribbons in
Danbury last night by IT to IA. Most
of those fouls must have been called
on Norman's man for he is the best
foul shooter in the league. The RID
bons got five baskets, but only four
fouls.
The argument between the Chain
Co. and the Arms football manage
ment has reached the point where
Manager Healy has offered the Arms
a, guarantee of $75 If they lose and
$50 if they win. Manager Kellam
Of the Arms doesn't think this is gen.
erous enough and is sparring for bet
ter terms.
Cornell students have subscribed
s4O6.5O to send the scrub players,
cheer leaders and university band to
Philadelphia to attend the game with
send the hard working scrubs at the
expense of the athletic association.
, Pie Way writes in the New YORK
Sun about the big game tomorrow
and of course the old Yale player
picks Eli to win. In speaking OF
the mental attitude in football way
relates what Tom Shevlin said to the
Yale players last year on the eve OF
the Princeton contest Football IS
simply a test of who can throw the
best fit for 60 minutes. How crazy
can you get and still be sane?''
Two technicalities cost Harvard
and Princeton each Is yards last sat
urday at a critical point in the game.
A Princeton player was penal1zed TOT
talking to his team before reporting
to the referee and Harvard was set
back because Horween pushed Mur-
ray. The latter was trying to give
the ball to Horween but the halfback
misunderstood the signal and bump
ed into Murray showing him ahead.
It is hoped that no penalties for such
trifiing errors will be inflicted at
Princeton tomorrow.
1t looks as if Joe Tinker can't get
away from managing the Chicago
Cubs another season. He and Owner
Weeghman had a conference yester-
day and terms were agreed upon.
Weeghman must have decided to do
something desperate after he heard
Frank Chance wanted $4,000 a year
to manage the athletes.
