NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-The Yale
bull dog stands a fine chance Of losing |
an ear this afternoon at Princeton,
also the Princeton Tiger is still won
dering what kind of guard he Is 60
ing to use to keep the Aforesaid bull dog
from matching the Harvard knot In
his tail with one of the New Haven
band 1t all depends upon the chewing
or tail-knotting abilities of the football
teams which represent Yale and
Princeton.
The bout today will be the forty-first
meeting between the two rivals. or
the two score contests which have
been ground into history, the New
Haven contingent has won its full
share and has Tapped over bit. The
Tiger has had some mighty hard luck
or poor football teams.
Strictly from a dope standpoint
Princeton is favored to win. The
Tigers are better conditioned, have
had the easier schedule and have the
best team since the days when Sam
White used to pick up foot balls and
humiliate Yale and Harvard with a
single sprint over the chalk lines.
Princeton student that jinx makes
an annual trip just to be present at
the battle between Harvard and
Princeton and they believe nothing
but supernatural luck will stop
Yale victory. A crowd of upward Of
40, 900 is expected in Palmer stadium.
Weather conditions were excellent.
Yale has bYcktield which sticks
out all over the place when compared
with Princeton's. No men like Lee
gore grace the Orange and Black
training table. Neither are there any
quarterbacks will, the ability of
Smith at Old Nassau. The forwards
are on about tie same calibre, with
ale probably having the edge in de-
tense against rush attacks. The Ell
line, however, las been proven bad
when pitted against good forward
passing and II Speedy Rush has been
able to hammer that kind of foot
ball into the Leads Of his warriors
then Yale faces a big task.
The kicking of briggs and Tibbott
probably viii play an important part
in Princeton's games. briggs. single
handed, can keep the ball in Yale
territory if the Tiger line can stop
the Blue chargers. Legore has stead
lily improved as a kicker, but it's
hardly probable that his boots will
approach the Icing spirals that leave
the toe of Speedy Rush's star So, II
briggs can boot near enough to the
Yale goal. it is ali even chance that
Dave Tibbott will be equal to the
task of kicking a field goal or 80.
When two of the big three teams
start at each others threats the gen.
eral opinion in the east is that all
other football might just as well not
be played. But at Cambridge today,
Percy Haughton sends his charges
against Brown, the eleven which
humbled Yale week ago and game
of considerable proportions is prom
ised. 4
