fall OF the Ellis by to 8. Last Satur-
day Harvard fumbled. and that same
old Princeton nose for the ball gave
victory to the Orange and Black. On
Saturday, with visions OF 1911 be-
fore them, the fighting Tigers will go
in quest OF another great tumble by
Yale and another clean sweep such as
they recorded eleven years ago. And
perhaps that quest will be successful.
Yale has had manya poignant ex-
perience with Princeton through the
Blues permitting a ball to go loose.
Last season the Ellis won by 13 TO Z
and in 1920 Princeton scored a smash
ing success, 20 to 0. But In 1919 Yale
fell before the sons OF Old Nassau be-

Schecrer on the Alert.
There was tumble by Fido Kemp
ton. then quick move by Scheerer-and
the Tigers alertness again had been re-
warded with victory. 13 TO 8. Scheerer
had absolutely no business to be where
he was when he picked up that tumble,
but that highly trained Tiger scent for
the leather seemed to have pulled him
to the ball
All through Princeton football history,
from Poe to Treat, who picked up that
tumble which led to the Tiger touchdown
last Saturday, the Tigers have been
drilled to follow the ball. Their picking
up fumbles is no luck, no matter OF
chance. Sam White worked with ball
in the twilight all by himself day after
day until he became so expert that he
could scoop up a bounding ball on the
dead run. That hard labor told in the
games with the Crimson and the Blue.
SO on Saturday Yale will have to hold
on to that ball A mistake Is likely to
pounce on any error which the anxious
Ellis may make. The Tigers will lie in
wait for the chance which camo to
Poe, to White. to Scheeref, to Treat.
O'Hearn Out of 1t.
II seems quite certain that Yale will
start with Flash Neidlinger, the brilliant
hero of the recent victory over Brown.
at quarterback. Neidlinger's great work
against the Bears made him. He had
been regarded as only substitute-tkird
behind O'Hearn and Beckett. But Flash
now is the leader and the chances of
O'Hearns getting into either the Prince
ton or Harvard games are slim. O'Hearn
may be rushed in just TO drop kick, but
he is IN no shape TO do any hard work.
When the season opened O'Hearn was
regarded as one Of the stars who would
lead the Ellis out Of the wilderness But
he has been OF little use all fall. He
is suffering from a floating cartilage In
\ knee and any athlete who has had
that sort of trouble knows that In so far
as hard running is concerned the injury
is deadly.
OHearn Just now brings back MEM
cries OF Thorne Murphy of a couple of
years ago. Like O'Hearn, the son of the
great Mike was<not robust athlete and
was easily injured. Still. in a pinch
O'Hearn may go in and do a Buell."

for emergencies.
As they stand to-day the Ellis are
truly impressive. They have wonderful
material and are in fine physical condi-
ton. That could not be said or them IN
other years or the recent past They
have not been coddled and ere ell set for
the big test.
