Bulldog and
Tiger Clash
at Princeton
By HENRY l.. FARRELL

4 the rusty-colored underbrush OF
the Nassau Jungle the Tiger OF
Princeton and the Bulldog Of Ya.e
leaped today into the fiercest Of the
40 battles they have had since they
started fighting.
sixty thousand wild fans gathered
in the hills from all over the cast
TO watch what was expected to be
the greatest fight Of the year.
There was very little betting. The
experts figured that it was toss
UP and that with two teams so
evenly matched and 80 spirited that
the breaks would decide. II was
pointed out, however. that over a
long stretch Of years the breaks
nearly always favored Princeton.
with the exception Of shep Blng
ham, star Yale end. who Is out OF
the game, the two squads were I'm
perfect condition and prlmcd for
the fight Of their lives. Princeton
was ready to start the same team
that massacred Harvard last Satur.
day.
Yale's lineup was expected TO be
the one that tied the Army In its
last big game, but Prlnceton's was
a guess. Neither coach would an.
nounce the teams definitely II was
probable, however, that they would
line up as follows:
