PRINCETON And
YALE IN SEASON
GRID CLASSIC
Tiger and Bulldog Clash In
,aIe Bowl Today Ell
Eleven Will Have
Hard Battle.

New York, Nov. l4-The second
OF the seasons eastern foot ball
classics will be played at New
Haven tomorrow when Yale and
Princeton meet, but foot ball enthu-
siasm will not be confined to this
contest alone. Several other gridiron
struggles will share interest with the
Tiger-Eli battle and will have equal
bearing upon the final ranking Of the
teams Of the section.
While both Princeton and Yale
enter their annual conflict with one
or more defeats on their 1919 records
these reverses have been forgotten
in the intensity of their rivalry. In
fact the decisive defeats admins
tered to Princeton by Colgate and
West Virginia are believed by many
foot ball followers to haye worked
the remarkable change in playing
form which enabled the Tigers to
force Harvard to supreme last
minute rally to tie last Saturdays
contest.
Princeton Dangerous.
In the final game of the season
with everything to gain and little
to lose and with the experience
found in battles against her last
three opponents, Princeton will
prove dangerous proposition for
Yale. The Tigers schedule has
been all exceptionally hard one and
far more beneficial for actual all
round development purposes than
that of Yale, Notwithstanding the
latter's overthrow by Boston col
lege October II, by score of 5 to 5.
With her strongest lineup avail
able. backed by the lessons learned
in the slashing play of the last
month. Princeton will prove a trying
opponent for the Blue. Yale still
has the greater lead in the Har-
ward contest while at her back is
the none too impressive record OF
five victories over Springfield, North
Carolina, Tufts, Maryland and
Brown.
Scarcely less important is the bat
tie between the indicated Colgate
team and the powerful Syracuse
combination in the home stadium of
the latter team. Syracuse has lost
one game, the Is to 0 defeat admin
istered by Washington and Jeffer-
son, the two touchdowns coming in
the final five minutes Of play.
Dartmouth checked Colgate's flight
By to 7 tie, making the saving
score in the last minute of play.
Both Syracuse and Colgate have
faced Brown this season, the latter
team winning IA to 0 Oct. H., while
the Orange won by Is to 0 Nov. ].
Two other impressive football
machines line up in the Pittsburgh
Pennsylvania combat and here
again there appears to be very little
choice. Such slight margin as may
exist leans in favor of the Glenn
Warner machine, for with the ex-
ception of the loss of the Syracuse
game Pittsburgh has proved invul-
nerable to some of the strongest
elevens of the east and south. Penn
sylvania too, started like a gridiron
whirl wind but defeats in her two
last games by Penn State and Dart
mouth exposed weakness at vital
points, which unless remedied
should give Pittsburgh the winning
edge.
The West Virginia Rutgers and
Dartmouth Brown games are GER
tain to develop interesting football,
but in each case the first named
teams. on its season form, is the
logical favorite. Harvard, Army and
Navy in playing Tufts, Villa Nova
and Colby respectively, expect hard
games without, however, fearing the
outcome
