on the eve or the annual clash. The
streets Of the little city and the uni
yersity campus are lined with hun
dreds of alumni as we'll as excited
undergraduate followers of both teams
All day long the roads leading into
Princeton have been crowded with
automobiles bringing in football fans
and every train has been crowded. A
record attendance. expected to be well
over $4,000, is forecast by the early
arrivals and heavy demand for tickets
The very atmosphere is permeate] q
With the enthusiasm and determination
Of the rival student bodies and hopes
for breaking the tie are expressed on
all sides.
Great Battle Expected
The battle tomorrow promises to
be the greatest in the history of Har.
vard- Princeton contests. Both teams
are in top condition and have been
primed for several weeks for this open
ing clash of the Big Three Series y
With Don Lourie at the helm. the
Tiger eleven had their final work-o
this afternoon on University Field
Coach Roper first sent his charges
through fast signal practice. and
then had the men running down the
field under the punts of Lourie, who
will handle this phase of the game
tomorrow. The remainder of the after
noon, as far as the varsity was con-
cerned, was given over to drop kicking
BY Ken Smith, who again and again
sent the pigskin hurtling across the
goal posts. He will no doubt be called
into the contest if opportunity presents
for kick from the field.
The lineup for the game has pract-
cally been decided upon by the Prince
ton coaches. Alongside of Lourie in
= the backfield will be Ralph Gilroy
Hank GarrityN and Jack Cleaves, the
combination upon which old Nassau is
placing her hopes, and which is ap-
pearing together for the first time
since it was shattered by injuries in
the opening game of the season, against
Swarthmore. Ed Stinson and "Whoops'
Snively will line up at ends, and Cap
tain keck and Bob Hooper will fill the
tackle positions.
Lipscomb, who has crowded "pinkie'
Baker out of q position, will start as
guard, and Al Wittmer. who has shown
so we'll in the past two games, will
start at center. Coach Roper announces
that this lineup, with the possible ex-
csption Of Iipscomb. will play the en-
tire game unless injuries make sub
cstitutl ons necessary or there is need of
a dropkicker
E In case substitutes are called on Van
gerhig, Smith, Afford, McPhee and Stin-
son will be ready for backfield posi-
hons. and Harvey, Gray, Rutan and
Tyson will take up the burdens of the
ends. Reserve linesmen will be Won
Schliling, Baker, Snyder, Griffin and
Thompson.
Harvard Team on Field
The Harvard squad of seventy men
arrived in Princeton this afternoon and
went direct to Palmer Stadium, where
behind closed gates Coach Bob Fisher
gave his men the final workout before
the game.
ne team is making headquarters ir
Trenton until after Saturday, in orde,
tnat 1T may be away from the excite
ment of the campus. All the Harvard
regulars are intact for the battle. and
while no official lineup has been an.
nounced the Crimson team is expected
to take the field as follows: Crocker
and MacComber, ends; Ladd and Kane
tackles; Brown and Hubbard, guards
ana llerney, center. The veteran Buell.
VIII pllot the team al quarterback and
the powerful Owen will be at fullback
Gratick and Fits will start as half-
backs. Clarke may start as center and
Iierney in Ladd's place at tackle. The
only members of the squad rot in CON
ditlon to PLAY are Gherke and Roulard
VINO are suffering from injuries re-
celved IN the Centre game last week.
All reverses of the season. includinp
two defeats administered the Tiger and
one to the sons of J. Harvard, have
faded into oblivion by this time, and
there is no thought but of The outcome
OF tnis crucial game between the old
rEals. The first great test of the sea-
son for each eleven is at hand and
little else matters now but a victory
tome orYow.
The showing of both teams I'D to
thls time indicates that they will step
on the field tomorrow about equally
matched. Harvard's system of handling
forward passes seems a bit better than
mat of Princeton, but all week Coach
Roper has given his men the third de-
gree In blocking the expected aerial at
TACK OF the Crimson. The Princeton
o.saekheld seems to be the more versa
nle Of the two elevens. Lourie, triple
threat, is expected to cause worry
when he gets his hands on the bali,
because of his skill in running, kicking
and passing.
Both Teams on Edge
Both Coach Roper and Coach Fisher
seem satisfied with the condition Of
.aelr respective teams, but conserva-
1--WE statements were forthcoming from
each OF them. Roper's final words be-
iore the curtain was drawn on Univer-
sny Field this afternoon were: "The

Srnceton have good teams, they will
