JAMESON SAYS
BULLDOG WILL
DEFEAT TIGE R
Saw the Princeton Harvard
Game and Says Tiger
Was Lucky and viii Fall
Before Super Yale Team.

Bulldog and Tiger hold the CEN
ter of the stage today. Other af-
fairs, even those of national i'm
port, are relegated to the back
ground as the annual clash be-
tween the football warriors of Yale
and Princeton occupies the lime
light.
From out of the east come many
reports, conditions, predictions and
other data relative to the affair
which for years has been second
in importance only to the football
struggle of a week hence, when
the Bulldog meets John Harvard.
Many of these reports are inter
esting. But no report coming from
other sources can be so interesting
as first-hand information and
opinion.
A. b, Jamlson. city attorney,
furnishes the first-hand opinion
and information for Albuquerque.
He has just returned from a visit
of a month to the east. And last
Saturday he witnessed the struggle
in which Princeton downed Har-
ward on Johns own gridiron at
Cambridge.
Jamison offers word which will
be great cheer to the Yale men of
this section. He predicts that when
the evening shadows settle about
old Nassau tonight the Yale Boo
la" and "Undertaker Song will
drown out the Bull Dog Dirge,"
the last the song which has been
specially composed for Princeton
this year to offset the wall Of Yale's
"Undertaker Song" In other words
he predicts that the Bulldog will
once more down the Tiger.
There would appear to be firm
ground fore Jamison's prediction
Charley Brickley, former Harvard
captain and star, a wonderful field
goal kicker from either drop or
placement, a great punter and him
self an al around super-player and
choice for the All-American elev-
en-, says that the Yale team of this
year is a super eleven. He goes
further and declares that 1t is one
of the greatest football machines
ever produced.
According to Brickley, the Yale
team of today would throttle Iowa
by a count of at least 20 to 0
And BriCkley is borne out by many
football experts who have seen
the Blue aggregation since the
Iowa game. According TO them !
that Go result in favor of Iowa
was a huge mistake. They point |
out that Yale played without Cap |
tain Jordan and with most of the |
first string men, particularly the |
backfield men, out Of the lineup. |
In addition to which they were
pointing" for the game of today !
and next Saturday
According to this data and other
advance dope, it would appear as
though there was another bleak
day ahead Of Princeton-such days
rs the Tiger has experienced in the
majority of his clashes with the
Bulldog. But there is the big ele-
ment of chance and all are agreed
that this element may turn the
-ide.
In both of the big events of the
year in which Princeton was in
crested, chance has permitted the
Tiger to stalk his prey until late
md then pOunce down to bring
pack the carcass. Chicago fell in
his way after having apparently
ound safe shelter. John Harvard
vent down in the same way. And
Tamison admits that the Bulldog
nay fall prey today in like man
Ter, though he, as we'll as others,
Ieem it unlikely.
Jamison witnessed the Prince
on triumph over John Harvard
asst Saturday. He says that Prince
on was exceptionally lucky to
vim, both in the fumbles recovered .
nd through the fact that Buell.,
he brains and defensive bulwarB
f Harvard, was put out of play
n the first ten minutes. He adds
hat Princeton cannot expect to
ave the same good fortune again
fter having experienced a similar
reak against Chicago.
Yet it must be borne in mind tina.
he Tiger Is uncertain and most
angerous when it looks as though +
e is cornered. Back in q day
hen the Tiger and Bulldog play
RS of today were unborn, Prince
ln began what others have desig-
ated as a series of lucky" vic
)ries over Yale. Whether or not
has been luck, it is certain that
lost of the Tiger victories have
ONE in spectacular fashion.
1t was the Poe family which
-arted the sensational business 1
s memory serves, it was Johnny
oe, Princeton end, who was first
nd the year was 1895. He grab
ed a loose ball. dashed over many
lalk lines for touchdown in the
st few minutes of play and, at
lie same time, dashed Bulldog
opes. The following year he
aged a similar run and kicked in
it'll a field goal though previous
} that game he wasn't much
fought of as a drop kicker.
And so it has come down
trough the football ages since.
ost of the Tiger victories over the
ulldog have been similarly SEN
.tional So it may 50 today, the
ger may ride through as he d.d
,er Chicago and Harvard. Per
Fps at dusk tonight it will be the
Bull Dog Dirge" which will boom
nth over Princeton. But Jami-
n insists that instead it will be:
Another little job for the un- i
dertaker: u
"a little more work for the cas-
et-maker."
