ROPER SELECTS
lIICERS To WIN
OMCH|CAGO
Thinks Princeton May Have
Benefited From Defeat
BY Middies.
By w. w. (BiD ROPER,
Princeton's Head Coach.

Because of the general interest
created by it, tomorrow's game
between Princeton and Chicago is
! .he most important in the East
this week.
The Chicago team has been
pointing for the Princeton game
since last winter and Stagg comes
East with the best Maroon eleven
since 1918. In spite of this and
the miserable showing made by
the Princeton team at Annapolis,
pick the Tigers to win.
In my opinion the Navy defeat
mas been blessing in disguise. Dis
agreeable as IL was at the time,
nave been urging the entire squad TO
remember that newspaper and under
graduate sentiment do not make a
winning football team. Up until
last Saturday, 1 have had very little
success In accomplishing anything.
What j would say went In one ear
and out the other. II has been i'm
possible for me to disabuse every
one from having a very exalted idea
OF the teams ability. One result was
shown Saturday. when the Prince
ton players and rooters journeyed to
Annapolis with a SNUG complacency
that always spells disaster and the
d
and demoralized aggregation.
II sometimes takes a very serious
surgical operation to cure what is of
apparent little consequence. And the
princeton team has had it's opera
ton. Since then there has been a
very different attitude on the field
Morale in football means everything
and the morale of the Princeton team
is on the upgrade. l know the play.
inf In
. fighting frame OF mind and the fight
ing team is the one that wins it's
games.
OF course. don't expect that my
team won't be extended every minute
OF the afternoon. but for all that I
pick them to win, and l will be really
disappointed II they don't kick
through on the long end of the
score.
This game is going to be a distinct
test between two very different foot
ball systems. ! venture to say Chi.
cago has fifty plays and several
formations. The Princeton team has
very few plays and very simple
formations.
In the East, we build our teams.
brick by brick. while In the West they
at one time. And it becomes very
questionable in my mind whether they
can assimilate all they try to do. I
find 1t very hard to teach the team q
few simple plays and get every one
letter perfect, and don't see how the
Chicago coaches can teach their
eleven as much as they do and get
everything perfected. The boys don't
come to college any smarter in the
West.
1t Is in this that the two systems
I nttr M al ia hQ
best, though Saturday will tell the
tale. believe Chicago will depend
upon wide end running and long for
ward passes. They are very good at
the pass, both in throwing and receiv-
ing IL, and l expect the Princeton
