 New York, Oct. 2S.-The rod or divination which wavers with uncer- tainty over the gridiron spread, hunting hidden dynamite, points this %week to Princeton.
 Sporting fans, always anxious to he on the ground when big things happen, are preparing to follow a strong "feel' that the second meet ing between the Tigers and Knute Rocknes Notre Dame fliers may be well worth seeing.
 On the surface, the Hoosiers, vic tors last fall by score of 25 to ? and having already rough ridden the Army without apparent effort this season, will be easy winners over a Tiger team that was outplayed by Lehigh and escaped defeat from Navy only by strong finish for a IT to 14 victory.
 But football games between intel ligent teams are subject to emotional influences sometimes stronger than the physical. Princeton and Notre CICNClo 4loNC dl " avs DCSh 4h- struments upon which enthusiasm and spirit played.
 Notre Dame, with physical odds in its favor, has no great urge to excite its spiritual quality: Princeton has, and every wave of information that comes from the Tiger camp indi- cates that Princeton is doing it.
 The Princeton champions of 1922 crossed Chicago in their campaign to final victory after sensational campaign which earned for the eleven the title of team of destiny"
 Bill Roper and all of the tradition of Princeton are now working to in- still the same spirit, and from the Princeton campus comes the assur- snce that Notre Dame will be the rubicon over which the 1924 Tigers will cross to another championship.
 If Notre Dame enters the contest emotionally cold against a group of mad jungle cats, the absence of Captain Adam Walsh at center, \ac- knowledged bulwark of the line may plOuuIC O VI dIh WHICH Princeton team. averaging 15 pounds more to the man than the Hoosiers, might rush to an early lead.
 If such an event occurs the chas- CTS of gridiron thrills would be cer- tain of compensation: for Knute Rockne would then be compelled to call into play the full dazzle of his aerial game which has never been revealed to an eastern crowd; an amazing gridiron spectacle when fired by the spirit of an aroused Notre Dame team.
 Princeton has secuted every Notre Dame contest of the season; Roper has been quoted as saving that Crowley, Layden and Miller will net succeed with their running game and that Rockne will be forced to use the pass. In its daily sessions the Tigers have been opposed by a team of former stars who have i'm personated Notre Dame backs-no- tably Layden, the versatile fuIlback who punts, passes and uses his speed as track sprinter to run the ends, hit the center, intercept passes and protect the Hanks of the light Notre Dame line.
 The Tigers took part in a seem- fngly unanimous let-down of hard work yesterday by teams preparing for the contests of the weekend. The coaches apparently had a com- mon hunch about injuries and eased up to prevent any of their stars from being forced out of the bat ties.
 Coach Spears of West Virginia has abandoned the usual precaution of having his team on the site of its game a day ahead and will gamble with condition by delaying the trip Of the Mountaineers until the night before their game at the Polo Grounds with Center.
 A special train of students will make the journey from Morgantown. An exodus of undergraduates will also be made from Syracuse to State College, Pa. for the Orange game with the Nittany Lion and from Washington, Pa, and Easton, Pa, to the W. and J. battle with Lafayette at the Yankee stadium.
