DRILL IN STADIUM
FOR RIVAL ELEVENS
Both Crimson and Tiger
Squads Engage in Final
Workout.

Special Despatch 10 THE New York HfsgALp
CAMBRJrdE, Mass, Nov. 5--Both Har-
ward and PRINCETON finished their prep
aration for to-morrow's game with a
brief workout in the stadium this after
noon. The Crimson forces used the big
field first for signal drill and kicking
practice. The Orange and Black war
riors reached Soldiers Field from New
tcnville. where their special cars were
dropped off. and did not go onto the
field until nearly shutdown. Their prac-
tice was similar to that OF Harvard.
With the Tigers were big BIZ Ed
wards, Parke Davis. Princeton's repre-
sentative on the rules committee; Jim
Mccormack. who lives In this SEXTON
but who has been doing some eleventh
hour line coaching at Princeton. and q
number of the regular coaches. Bill
Roper put on a black sweater. He failed
to eccede TO the wishes of the photog-
raphers for a chance to snap the eleven
men who will face Harvard Tomorrow.
He explained later that he had not yet
decided on the entire lineup but allowed
his whole sq,'ad to be photographed. He
had not decided on right tackle or right
marvel. Mt fullback In place Of Murray.
Both Keene Fitzpatrick and Roper
agreed that the team was In good shape.
The head coach made this statement:
Harvard has an experienced team Of
great strength and power--in fact, her
best tea m since 1915-and Princeton Is
determined TO gut up good fight. but
recognizes what It is up against"
A striking thing about the Tigers ap-
pearance In uniform WAS three cheers
given them by the Harvard students,
who had Just come from cheering their
own team as the visitors were entering
the stadium. Capt. Dennie O'Connell
of the track team sensed the oppOrtu-
nifty and jumping on top Of an nutomo-
bile truck called for the salutation.
Coach Bob Fischer. previous to an
rouncIng the Harvard lineup. had this
to say:
Harvard Is all primed for their first
hard battle of the year. We realize the
strength OF the Princeton team and be-
lieve that we will have to show much
better football than we did last year
to win tomorrow. The Harvard team
Ia in excellent condition and If they are
beaten we will have no alibis."
Princeton spent the night at Belmont
Springs County Club. The Harvard
team had its dinner at the Brook'ine
Country Club but returned to CAM
bridge at bedtime. F. w. Moore. gradu-
ate msnager. said that about az 200
would attend the game. This Is the
biggest attendance on record for Har-
ward Princeton game.
Princeton to-nirht was asking 10 to .
odds, with Harvard men shy OF ac-
cept!ng anything but even money.
There In an undertaking here that this
Is the Tigers year. The coaches were
plainly worried by the healthy appear
ance OF the fine Princeton squad. Many
Of the students whose means are rot
affluent decided that the proposition
was too risky to bet on.
Social affairs here tonight included
Joint Ylee club concert by the Har-
ward and Princeton associations, and
an II O'Clock Reconsideration ball IN
the Union. Tomorrow morning at IL
o'clock Yale meets Harvard at Belmont
in n dual cross-country run, and at
noon Princeton tackles the Crimson in
soccer on Soldiers Field. After the
game there is also to be tea dance
in the Union.
