Ten Out of Fifteen Can't See
Yale-Chances Even,
Says LOurie.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YoRK HERALD.
PRINCETON, ". j., Nov. 17.-Prince-
toms football team. victor over Harvard
two weeks ago but vanquished by Yale
last Saturday, believes strongly that
the Crimson will win over Yale. out
OF the fifteen men who played for
Princeton in its two big games ten de-
clare that Harvard will win, three be-
leve that Yale has the better chance
and two are of the opinion that it is
coaches, Mike Callahan and Jack Winn.
think that the result is not to be pre-
dicted, so evenly matched are the con-
tending teams.
Capt. Stan Keck leads those who think
that Harvard will win. saying: "Har-
ward viii win, IA to T. because it has
had a weeks rest, and l doubt If Yale
will be able to stop owen or break UP
the Harvard passing game"
All Wittmer supplemented this by add
ing, Harvard will win, as it is at least
one touchdown better than Yale. / make
this prediction because the Harvard line
is more aggressive on the defence than
Yales and harder charging on the Of
fence. ! think that Harvard's forward
pass attack will sweep Yale off its feet
owen VIII stand out for Harvard, while
Yales ground gaining will depend almost
entirely on the work of Aldrieh, par
ticularly on off tackle plays"
Bob Hooper says: "Yale will win,
IS to 6. Harvard has good team, but
Yale has "a stronger one that will be
hard to beat The Yale line is especially
powerful
"Even Stephen" Says Lourie.
Don Lourie, Princeton's field general,
who ought to be especially well quail
fled to judge of the two teams play as
a whole, has no preference. IT'S a
hfty-fifty chance. Yales line, especially
at tackle. is stronger However, Yale
could not fathom our forward pass. and
as Harvard's is much more deceptive it
does not look as though Yale would be
able to stop it, l caught three passes
in the Yale game and only one in the
Harvard game, which also seems to
show that Harvard's defence against the
pass is as good as it's offence when COM
pared to Yale's."
Ed Stinson. who was knocked out of
the Yale battle early, says: 81 don't
remember thing about the Yale game,
so cannot judge very accurately. How
ever, I feel that Harvard will win"
There seems to be no agreement in
the family. however. as his younger
brother Bob. who went in as a substi
tute back. disagrees yale will win
unless Harvard is able to keep its entire
first string lineup in the game"
Frank Rutan. who took the place of
ISeck when the latter was injured at
New Haven, rs OF the opinion that Il will
be n Blue day: yale will win by
small score. The Blue has an excep-
tionally we'll balanced and powerful
team and Harvard cannot win solely by
the forward pass
They Pick Harvard.
The other players expressed them
selves as follows: Pink" Baker, guard ::
Il think Harvard will win, mainly be-
cause of the difference in the playing
field. Yale has had a wet field all fall
because of the draining system and the
difference will tell
Bill Morgan, guard: "T pick Harvard
to win because of the difference in the
playing field and because of Harvard's S
effective forward passing game"
Ralph Gilroy, hero OF the Harvard
game here: II think Harvard will win.
If Harvard is successful in guarding
O'Hearn and Aldrich as I think it will
be it will slow up the Yale attack IS
per cent. and Harvard's passing attack
will bewilder the Ellis"
Jack Cleaves, back: IT think Harvard
will win because of its use of psyche
logic plays owen will be a large fac
tor in the Harvard offence. He is the
hardest line plunger / have seer in ac-
tion this year, At a guess I should say
that the score will be II to in Har-
wards favor"
Hank Carrity: Harvard will win
because of it's superior passing game
Snively end: II think that Harvard
will be the winner probably by a II to
10 score. The ends will be about even."
Peck Euwer. back Harvard has n
strong passing game and will win If
Yale does not improve in its defence
against aerial attacks. Yale's line is
strong, but forward passes can get
through"
