CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Nov. lO.-The
coming contest between Harvard n
Princeton finds Princeton greatly weak
ened by the loss OF Tibbott. It's stellar
drop kicker, who ] have heard from very
good authority. will not be In shape 20
play. The Princeton attack was TO be
built around Tibbott in much the same
way that Harvard's offence was moulded
around Bricklcy "A couple OF years ago.
The fact that Tibbott is out OF the game
causes q complete shift by the Tigers
at a late hour.
Although Harvard IL a slight ia
vorite Princeton possesses more able
players. However. 1t seems they will
only be enabled to beat the Crimson
eleven by the so-called breaks In foot
ball. This Is due to the difference be-
tween the Haughton and Rush coaching
systems.
The men Of the Haughton school know
a wide range OF plays which have u
terrific drive together witt plays
through the line in which the ban Is
masked almost beyond detection. This
Is the foundation Of their attack. but in
order to vary IL they use clevcriy exc
cuted forward passes and a puzzling ad-
vance from Kick formation.
Offence Better Than Defence.
feel that an offence which contains
such an amount Of scoring power should
beat n team superior on the defence
hut which has to take advantage OF mis-
plays to score consistently.
The Haughton system is built on
sound driving principles Of football Of
the most aggressive type. He has given
his men a brand Of attack which defies
defence. for with his diversified often
sive he can say: when you stop this
sort Of play We have another kind to
offer Infinitely better"
Harvard will play as one man. and
the lack of Individual effect will be more
h made up by the power accom-
plished In unison of action. Another
important asset Is that Harvard will
have its full strength. while Princeton
will be without Its main scoring medium.

Herocs Of Princeton.
Princeton is coached to play an en-.
tirely different sort OF game. being
strictly a defensive team. whose chief
scoring asset is in the ability to turn
poor plays Of opponents into advantage.
This has been a characteristic OF Prince.
ton for years. and has resulted in many
victories. 1t has placed many heroes in
the hall of fame, the latest being briggs,
who defeated Dartmouth recently by in

this strength OF Prince,on's by carrying
