to Chicago.


The latest lineups of the Harvard and
Princeton football teams. the elevene
announced to start the game at Cam
bridge to-day. give a total OF 2.O2S
pounds for Harvard and l.974 for Prince
ton. A difference OF only 81 pounds dis
tributed among eleven men. or five
pounds a man. doesn't appear TO be a
factor of great import. Either side is
big enough not TO be worried by the
physical proportions of any adversary.

year in and year out. in football Har-
ward is a pretty good proposition to
tie to. There's always and invariably
wealth OF fine football material at
Cambridge. No other institution Is 30
favored. and Harvard has good coaches
and a good system.
Those are facts we'll known, and in
connection with the fact that Harvard
generally wins have more to do with
making favorites than any analysis OF
the situation anybody has made. There
isn't q thing In what the two have dcne
against opponents this year to make
Harvard the favorite. Princeton's rec
ord thus far is better than Harvard's.
The Tigers have encountered opponents
of a better callbre.
One condition we'll known this fall to
Princetonians close to tho inside at
Nassau IL that the coaches have not
been satisfied with the line. 1t fs a
line OF forwards who have lacked fight;
not fight In the sense Of courage or
sand, but In the sense of aggressive
ness Earnest and even heroic means
have been taken to Until this quality,
but without much success unless II has
come at the eleventh hour. It's there
IL Il can be aroused. and II anything VIII
arouse II it's a Harvard or Yale game:
According to the latest STATISTICS tne

The Nassau backfield Is OF the sor'
best described as dangerous" 1t lie
alert. fast, versatile and almost as strong
as last years 1t appears 70 be better
backfeld than the other when 1t comes
to making the most Of openings. and II
has pronounced capabilities also In SCI
plays--running. plugging and forward
passing. It il q stronger quartet. too, In
both punting and dropkicking than Har-
wards. But the other quartet hss more
rive and can hit harder. On end runs
the Tigers with 0ilroy and Lourie hav'
wider scope than Harvard with'Chu Oh II
but no single man Is as fast and elusive
as the wiry Crimson flyer.
The Tiger backs have more strategy
possibilities. but this team doesn't appear
to have quite the defnititeness OF p'ir-
pose or the clear conception OF what u
wants to do as Harvard. and not the
coordinate power.
There are those who are curious to see
lust how Keck. the big Princeton tackle.
