YALE BULLDOG TO
TRY tame TIGER
IN HIS own JUNGLE


Princeton" Is the slogan Yale has
adopted since the wholly unexpected
victory Of the Nassau men over Har-
ward and with that idea in Mid.
Tad Jones and his men opened d
week OF preparation this afternoon
for the game with the Tiger. at
Princeton Saturday.
Jones. other members of Yale's
football faculty. and the entire Y lie
varsity team came back from Boston
not overimpressed by the perform
Hnce of the Tigers, and If the minds
of the players and coaches could be
read it would he revealed therin
that the task of tanning the junga-
lsers in their own jungle is not such
gigantic one as might appear
Every Yale coach and every player
believes that Yale will beat Prince
ton.
The followers of the team who
have seen its progress during the
past week also believe that Yale will
be at the top of it's open game by
next Saturday and that the Ellis will
resort to a style of play that 40
Yale team since the war has ~sed
The great forward passing me
OF the second team in its contes:
with Maryland Saturday is ind-ca-
tive, they say. of what may lie tX-
pected from the varsity in the Tiger
game, and If it is anywhere near IS
successful and effective IS the Sec
ond string aerial attack Princeton
will have plenty to do.
No Yale team in a great m.-ny
years has been more confident OF IS
ability to come through the Pre-
ton game a winner than this one of
Capt. Jordan's and Saturdays g.-me
in Cambridge has failed to shatter
in the least that confidence.
With Jordan. O'Hearn, Mallory
and Neidlinger or Wight in the
backfield and in condition, the all.
around strength of the Blue ack-
field is rated greater than Prince
tons by several degrees. AS for the
line. with the possible exception. OF
the tackles, Yale is more than d
match for Princeton, Yale .len scy.
There's a versatility in the attack
which Princeton lacks. Princeton
has no line-breaker like Capt Doc.
Jordan, has no end-skirter like Neid-
linger, has no triple threat man like
O'Hearn, no kicker and forward lass
thrower like Wight and no def go
bulwark anywhere as great as Ill
Mallory. 1t is true that onively =,
Cleaves make a fine forward passing
al
counted upon to toss the ball just as
we'll as Snively and catch it j',st as
well as Cleaves.
The chances Of Yale victory
hinges entirely, it is thought. on the
Blues ability to play the open ame
Jones has been criticised sharply be
cause of his failure to leach his
teams OF the past more molern
methods OF attack.
Whether this criticism has struck
home ID not known, but it is certain
that Yale is far more proficient to-
day in the forward pass than 1t ever
was before.
And the team is coming. Yale
men say that highly spectacula'
open game will be seen this week
end, with Yale just as able to take
advantage of the breaks as the op-
portunist eleven from Princeton.
There seems to be no reason to
believe that Jones will make any
changes in the line. Mike EddJ an!

Jobs without a doubt and some ex-
perts in tacklirs tactics will be
called here during the next few
DAYS to instruct this pair how t.

Cross and Cruikshank are certain
ties at guard. barring injuries. AM

all that a coach might wish.
Jones has called for scrimmage
today as the men have had a week
end OF rest and recreation. Tuesday
and Wednesday there will also be
scrimmages. but Mallory and
O'Hearn will be given lighter work
than the rest OF the squad. O'Hearr
has almost rounded into the best OF
form and Mallory's injured shoulder
has mended.
