MAN TO MAN TIGER
MATCHES HARVARD
Strubing Claims Princeton
Ranks With Crimson Individually
for Tomorrow's Game
PSYCHOLOGY IS FACTOR

Former Princeton Quarterback

and last time. But to whom2 For
two years the Crimson has come from
behind with n whirlwind passing at.
tack to snatch victory from the
Orange and Black. Two years have
left the situation most unsatisfactory tc
all concerned. This year both are de-
termincd TO break the double tie. The
question is who has the more stuff with
which to back this determination. The
world will know when tomorrOw's sun
has set.
There can be no alibis or c1plana-
tionS. Each team is admittedly going
into the game with all the strength it
| possesses. There are no Cripplcs or
invalids. Every one Is healthy and as
near the top of his form as he will get.
The coaches have pounded all the
| knowledge into the men that is ab-
sorbable. The machines have been pol
ished to the nth degree. OIL has been
| squirted 20 the greatest point Of sntura-
ton. Tomorrow's game depends solely
on the men themselves, with the proper
| backing Of the rooters with them. Psy-
chology is going to be big factor. How
| do the men honestly think concerning
| the game? For as they think so do
they play. II they believe they will
| win, no team on earth can stop them.
| Roper, besides the football side Of IT,,
has been driving this psychology home
! TO team and students. lie has tried to
make them believe way down under
meath that they will win and must win:
! and II he succeeds, look out Harvard! !!
He has had fertile ground on which to
sow his seed. The ranking of Navy
and Chicago has not been erndicated
| by a mere two weeks. The men arc
| determined to come back into their own.
| As certain crew coach was heard to
| murmur last year as his men crossed
the finish in the lead, after having been
! led AT the stnrt, ITS not starting that
| counts so much, but finishing. And
so with the Tiger. Having been the
under dog for three weeks, he Is going
TO make q mighty push for a roll-over.
Cleaves in BaCltfleld
Princeton will in oil probability start
! Stinson and Snively ends, kcck and
guards, Wilmer center, Laurie quarter
back. Garrity. Gilroy and Cleaves
backs. OF these eleven Snlvely is the
only man who has never won the "P.
| Harvard will start MaComber and
| CroCkcr ends. Kane and T1erney
tackles, Brown and Hubbard guards,
| Clark center, Buell. quarterback, Fitz,
Owen and Gratwick backs.
Comparisons on paper are usually
erroneous. but the Princeton outfit ap-
pears to have q small bulge when com
! pared in black and white. But the
bulge is very very small and based on
| the relative merits of the individual
positions. Stinson and Snivcly are GER
tainly as good as Macomber and
Crocker. Keck plus Hooper equals
more than Kane plus Tierncy. Baker
and Morgan should have no superiors
! Wilmer IS defensive center par excel
| lcncp and should have no trouble hold
! ing his own on the offenSe.
Laurie plus Garrity exceeds Buell.
plus Owen in value. Cleavcs and Gill
roy can certainly play up to any stand
ord Fitz and Gratwick may set. And
no man can touch Gil" on the dofonro
or as offensive cleau-up man. But this
Is all on paper and individual. The
winning Of the game will depend on how
the team plays as a team. And next
| on how the reserves fit into the machine
when called upon. After that the indi-
vldual may speak word or two.
Anent Quarterback
play a great part is the quarterback.
Tomorrow will make or break the man
at the helm. If he takes Il chanC" AM
the play goes. he's master mind. II
the play is stopped or broken up, he is
a plain dumbcll. Not in the opinions
Of the experts, but In the opinions Of the
near experts and their voice far out
shouts the whispers of the wise ones.
And the fellow who shouts loudcst
usually forces his idea home 10 the
general public.
There will be men in there tomorrow
who will get very little credit from the
majority of the spectators, hut to whom
great credit will be due. Not the man
carrying the ball nor the fellow maxim
the fashy tackles. but the hard working
cleanup man and the man who spills
th" opponents defense. Keep your
eye on them now and then. Watch
No. | back take out a couple Of tacklcr,
50 the runner can get away. Watch the
end dive into the Interference 10 spill il
50 the halfbaCk can tackle the uncov-
cred runner. Watch the line not onI,
strain TO keep their backs protected, but
then break through to run interference
These unsung heroes arc the men who
count. Even the inimitable LOurtc
would be helpless If he didn't get q
chance 10 get started.
Two sore teams ranking under de-
fCats and with not only an old, old ira
! dtion, but double tie 70 break There
certainly will be some fur flying ir
Palmer stadium tomorrow. The best
team will win as a team. The coacAc.
have done their last and it IS now Il;
~ ~" mon working 'one for all ant
all for one.
