PRINCETON ADOPTS
WILL WIN SLOGAN
Tigers Determined to Grab Big
Three Title by Beating
Yale Tomorrow
ON WAY TO NEW HAVEN
BY JACK STRUBING
Former Princeton Quarterback

Tomorrow Is "la jour" For two
years Princeton has come up to the
Yale game with only desire to win
the game as an incentive. 4 tie with
! Harvard the week before spoiled any
championship prospects. But this year
there is the added stimulus of n big
! three championship possibility. Har-
ward has been taken into camp. laic
only remains between Keck and the
coveted white sweater. +.
Rut what an 'only" this Eli crowd
is. Neither n defeat nor tie this sea :
son and with what seems to hc a
galaxy Of backfeld stars: And thereby
hangs the tale. There has been very
little Snid OF any star lincSmcn in the
blue jerseys. Yale has won this scn :

Long gains have turned the trick. Ma
consistent gains that show power or
co ordination of play.
Yalc's line has evidently lust been
abe to hold it's own against the teams
il has faced. And 1t has faced nothing
TO cheer about when the list IS "X-
amincd closely. The Army showed very
l!ttc against Notre Dame and tho Army
game produced the lowest score against
the Ellis.
Up to Tiger Linesmen
If they are at their best the TiGor
forwards will be a sweet looking line
tomorrow. Snively and Stinson, heck
and Hooper. Baker and Morgan, lined
up on each side Of Wilmer. arc rather
formidable crowd How will the HIuc
line appear against them The ale
forwards have come In for very little
! praise. Will they be able to keep these
Tigers from stopping the backtield stars
! before the afore- mentioned backhNId
stars got going? II will be interesting
to watch. Then. too, stars that look
we'll against inferior teams do not
twinkle SO brightly when they get In
their own class.
There is no spirit of over confidence
at Tigcrtown. But there Is certain at-
moSphcrc Of determination and will to
win that is going 4 long way. There
arc mon on the eleven who are going to
get n last and only chance at cham =
pionshlp. As Princeton played last
! week there was room for 30 per cent

everything to attain the point nearest
perfection. And this spirit pervndcs In

The week has been spent in hard but
not dangerous work. Roper has beer

there were men on the squad COM

no substitutes to replace them. Luckily
these men have been Of the type that q
just as we'll despite the tenderness
shown them. so individually it has bcNI
no drawback. But it has been a handi
cap to the team to be unable 10 wori
together day in and day out. However
this condition became history with th'
Virginia game and the men have beer
working better as machine every five
minutes since then.
Tackling Better
The fundamental lacks which cropped
up against Harvard have been cor

tacklcr to bring a runner back to motho
earth.
The team left for New Haven thi

Tie game will be of two teams yer,
evenly matched. Yale has the bette
baCktield and the weaker line, according
to the dope. Princeton has the bette
balanced team. Each has versatilit.

bulge. But the dope is likely TO be il
for an upset.
