May Upset Dope.

n YEW YORK, November 2.-The
Princeton foot ball team is as
NJ sured of warm reception from
Ohio State at Columbus to-
morrow. The welcome may be
too cordial The Tigers enter the game
with less impressive record than tnat
of the Buckeyes, and their 20-to-0 VIC
tory of last year will avail them moth
ing in this game. Neither team has
been defeated. but Princeton's best
against Virginia was a 0-to-0 tie.
The Ohio aggregation is doing things
this season it has not done in years
beating Michigan, for instance. North
western and Indiana were other VIC
tins.
When Princeton last went West, the
University of Chicago was defeated 21
to 18, in one of the most sensational
games on record, Princeton coming from
behind in dramatic style.
In the game at Princeton last year
the Tigers took liberties with the ONO
line which cannot be duplicated now.
There is plenty of power in Bill Roper'S
forwards but the players have not found
themselves in early games. OHIO. on
the other hand, has an alert set OF lines
men. constantly on their toes and
charging low and hard on every play.
Battle of Centers Due.
The contest should develop into a
pretty battle of centers. The klngpins
of each team stand out. Fred Barratt.
who passes the ball for Ohio State ana
kicks goals after touchdowns on occa-
sion. weighs about $50 pounds and
tackles down the field as often as his
lighter colleagues. Capt. Chuck Howe
of Princeton scales only mere 1873
pounds, but follows as closely as is hu-
manly possible the tradition that the
Tiger leader must be in every play.
The ends average almost the same.
The State fiankmen-Fesler, 173; Alber,
1T, and Surina, l75-average a BIT
under Stinson, TIA; Lawler, 188, ana
Morrison. 165.
Ohio State probably will start the
rugged RaskowSki, 208. and Bill Young,
1870, at the tackles, opposing Bart1elo'
200, and Hockenbury, 1913. Hocken-
burv's quick work saved possible Cor
nell sore at Princeton last Saturday
when he fell on a fumbled ball menac-
ing his goal Jack Whyte, 1876, is sure
to see action during the game for the
Tigers, as will Joe Cox, 164.
Princetons guards include ByleS, lo5:
Mestres, 203 and Duncan, 179, opposed
to Selbv. 174 Larkins, 180, and Ujhely,l,
l91. This viii give the visitors an adj
vantage in weight, but the home
towners may be considerably faster.
The backfields leave little to choose,
with the edge, if any, going to Princeton
on the ground that the team from the
East has more good backs. Princeton
may start Norman. Wittmer, Bennett
and Miles, with reserves consisting OF
Reuuardt, Strubing Fanshawe and
Lowry, hero of the Cornell game. Ohio
State is ready with Holman, Coffee,
Eby and Kruskamp, with FoHch, Horn,
Cory and heterogeneous subject to call.
Duel of Defensive Backs.
The contest brings together two great
defensive backs in Mike Miles and
Hardy Kruskamp, Miles was rated IN
the front rank of Eastern defenders last
season, while KruSkamp was well up IN
the Western array Of defensive talent.
Miles will be Spurred to extra efforts
by the cheers of home folk, as he lives
at Bellaire, not far from Columbus.
Wittmer is a running back who taxes
his holes where he finds them, crash
ing into the line as we'll as circling the
ends. Byron Eby, the Ohio star, is in
clined to favor end runs, long or short,
and with his running mate, Charley
Coffee, is adept on cut-back plays.
Bennett, who started for Princeton
against Lehigh, but did not get in the
game against Cornell, will be dangerous
as a runner, passer or kicker.
Allan Holman, the sophomore quar-
