YALE FACES PRINCETON TODAY WITH
 APPARENTLY BEST TEAM IN YEARS

 With Yale and Princeton in the leading drama. football will stage another host of Epectacles on eastern gridirons tomorrow. While the Tiger and the Bulldog grap- pie at Princeton, their contests of scarce ly less interest will bring together Har- yard and Brown. Pittsburgh and Wash lngton and Jefferson, Penn State and Pennsylvania, Colgate and Syracuse and Dartmouth and Columbia.
 Victory in several of these games will hinge on the mood of the pigskin gods. This is particularly true of the Yale Princeton contest. In no respect does one team stand out as strongly superior to the other. and as was the case in the Princeton-Harvard clash last Saturday, the human euuation-the tumble or the brilliant individual feat-may tip the scales.
 Princeton with sensational victories ov- CT Chicago and Harvard. is a team tried and ready for it's closing battle of the season. The players will enter the contest confident but not dangerously so. They realize the worth of their opponents.
 Princeton has a strong offense, with good running plays and an overhead att tack capable of holding the secondary defense deep in it's own territory. In ad- dition there is the football alertness and keen ball-foliowing intuition which has stood theaTigers in such good stead.
 Man for man along the Line and in the backfield the Princeton combination com pares favcrably with Yale. In physical condition and reserve material the Tig- CTS loom up as formidable as the Blue, if not a trifle stronger, Playing on their own field is another advantage
 Offensively the Tigers are perhans stronger than on the deftnse, especially if close following the ball on the possi- bility of a tumble may be termed an offensive weapon.
 In various games this sehson the Princeton defense has been penetrated. but the Tigers final stand on their own one-yard line in the Chicago battle prov cd that they could hold in the supreme test.
 Yale will oppose Princeton with team which appears to be the best that has represented the Blue in several years. Although defeated by Iowa early in the season, the Ellis showed flashts of un- usual power even at that time and have indicated a steady increase in strength and football resourcefulness in each succeeding mage. Holding the Army to d - tie just two weeks before the SOL diers played a scoreless tie with Notre Lame BlNeS a lair line on Lne power 1lI ability of the Bulldog. The center combination of tht Yale line Is an extremely strong and aggressive trio. The tackles compare well with those of the Nassau eleven. There appears tu De little difference in the playing of the tnds Yale forwards are likely to hurry the Princeton passing with their say ago charging and the battles of the lines will undoubtedly be a feature of the game. Although it is understood that neither Mallory nor O'Hearn will appear m the Eli baclxfield Neidlinger, Jordan Wight and Scott give the Blue a quartet hat can advance the ball either afoot or overhead.
 Princeton will be in the position oi utilizing everything she has in the way of plays and strategy while Yale will al- ways have in mind that she must face Harvard a week later.
 It appears reasonably certain that the bunting and passing will be emphasized by both teams This offense, while spec tacular and frequenly productive of long gains. also is conductive of fumbling,
 Next in interest to the Yale-Prince- ton game will be the meeting of Wash lngton and Jefferson and Pittsburgh W and J., with it's record of victories un- broken for tht past two and a half years Is a most formidable foe and should win Pittsburgh, however. always has givel the presidents a terrific battle and de spite defeats by West Virginia and La tayette, the Partners can be expectef to force W. and J. to show it's best foot ball in order to win by more than a ont touchdown margin.
 The same appears to be true of Penl State and Pennsylvania. The former ha- . more consistent record to date, bu Pennsylvania, although cratic, showe' remarkable form in defeating the Navy If the Quakers should hit tht top of thei stride again tomorrow, Penn State vii have a hard and uncertain battle.
 Harvard, if represented by it's frs string players should defeat Brown. hu with the Yale game just a week ava. she Is not likely to play any harder thai s necessary to hold a small but sat margin. ..
 Colgte will undoubtedly give the bi Syracuse team a sla5ling battle, bu . victory would be more or less O football upset.
 Darmouth appears too strong for Go nmbla to overcome.
