San Francisco man we knew who rs OF,
his way back to the Coast from New
York, The general gossip and disegs-
sion of the game has seeped into his
soul. This man is not such an en-
thusiastic football fan, but he is keen
now to see the Chicago Princeton strug
gle. Somebody has teid him 1t is the
final stand Of the aristocratic East to
regain it's football prestige. That s
enough for him. He decided he's got
to get in on this EastsWest fight and
he is now hot on the trail Of a ticket.
We wish him luck.
Stagg Field doesn't accommodate
more than 1,88c at the very most.
Thus you can see the value Of the
tickets in view of the demand. Ticket
holders could well get s188 for each
pasteboard or whatever il is that ad-
mits. But very little speculation is
being done, due 10 the vigilance of the
university authorities and the city
officials. A jail sentence stares every
speculator in the face,
First Princeton Invasion
Not only is this to be struggle be-
tween representative teams Of the East
and the West but It is the frgt visit
of the big three TO this part Of the
country. Harvard went to the Coast
a few years ago but none of the three
has played in the Middle West. All
three institutions are well thought Of
in this section and the invasion Of one
into Middle Western territory has
aroused the countryside for miles
around.
1T is interesting to compare the atti-
tude OF the two teams. Princetsnians,
who, for the most part, hail from the
East. are in curious mood. They are
wondering what it is ali about 1t
city folk in s way and inclined to be
less serious than the Chicagoans about
the matter.
The latter are taking this game in a
grim way. You could tell that by the
way in which they went about their
workout this afternoon. All week the
local papers have been discussing the
game much as they would discuss q
coming battle between the Allies and
their opponents.
The Princeton crowd, players, coaches
and alumni, pulled in on a special
running just back of the Broadway
Limited, which arrived shortly after
noon. They are all quartered at the
Chicago Beach Hotel. The players and
Bill Roper, the coach, immediately pat
on uniforms and proceeded to Stagg
FIELD for short workout, which con-
sisted mostly of kicking and passing.
All are in good shape, even Van
Gerbig, punter, who mas had q leg in
jury. The Nassau students went about
their work jovially and in an easy,
carefree manner. They are quite hope
ful but not too optimistic. Their team
is green for the most part and they
realize they are to meet a powerful
end experienced eleven.
Tiger Punters Look Good
Chicago took the field after Prince
ton and, like the fasteners, confined
its workout to kicking and limbering
up. 1t seemed to us that Van Gerbig
and Cleaves, the Princeton kickers,
have the edge on Strohmeier, Pyott and
Thomas, the Chicago punters. Thomas
is back that the Maroon is counting
on to tear things apart. He looks quite
capable of performing the feat. The
line as to size Is anything but tiny, and
each and every individual is matured-
looking player. They know some
thing of life already.
Neither coach is saying anything
about the game, which is wise and in
good taste. There isn't much to be
said. Everybody knows Chicago 10
veteran and experienced combination
and is generally favored to win; that
Princeton is Tirtually green team
that has shown steady improvement
But for our own part we look for these
tenderfooted Fasteners to show to ad-
vantage tomorrow.
The lineup follows:
