Oldest traditional rivals in North America, these two teams will meet in an odds-on en- counter which can never be pre- dicted not matter what may have been the previous records of the re- spectlve elevens.
 For the first time in four years the dopesters give Yale an even chance on merit to take Tad Wie- mans Tiger eleven, if predictions in this classic can be made. To date the Bulldog has won three of its games. one more than the com- bined winnings of the 194o and 1941 teams. The Ellis toppled Lehigh 33-6, Dartmouth, TIT, and Brown, 27-0, but lost to Pennsylvania 35-6, and to Navy 1S-7, Yale 2, Cornell l3. Tigers have taken Lakehurst Train ing, 2o-6, Navy l0-o, and Brown, 32-l3.

 Yale and Princeton dropped a tradition of 46 years standing by choosing Columbia's Baker Field in New York, neutral territory, as the site for this years game. Orig inally scheduled for Palmer Stadi- um at Princeton, the encounter will be the first not played on either Yale or Princeton home fields since 1896, when the Tigers topped the Bulldog on Manhattan Field, 34-6. Smith Out
 Yale has lost the services of its regular left guard, freshman Tom Smith, for this encounter. Smith suffered a shoulder bruise in a prac- tice session Tuesday, November 3, and was unable to play against Cor nell. Trainer Charlie Hoyt hopes to have him ready before the Harvard game on November 2l. His replace ment for the Princeton encounter will be senior Bert Martin, i80 pound guard from Minneapolis.
 Although fullback Johnny Fergu- son was unable to start against Cor nell he is expected to have recov- cred from 6 leg strain in time to face the Tigers. If he Is not ready, sophomore Bill Kirst or freshman Bob Pickett will hold down the full- back slot. Senior Jim Potts, a vet eran of two seasons will be calling signals, with Tim Hoopes, south paw passer and either Ed Taylor or Hugh Knowlton filling in at the halfbacks. Yale will make frequent use of It's numerous backfield sub- stitutes, who include Stan Weiner, a freshman star in the Dartmouth game, Bud Talbot, sam Scovill, Blake walker, Ed Town, Harry Ober- helman, Chuck WillougAby, Jerry Curtin, and Monk Meyer. Frank Mahoney. Yale'S best broken field runner who was injured in a prac- tice after the Penn game and who has been unable to play ever since, may be ready for duty against Princeton. His return to the squad will be a welcome one.
 Moseley Stars
 Tn the line Riff GlaSsford, coach for that department, has had his problems finding adequate reserves for Tom Smith. Besides Martin he has available Bert Wheeler, Frank Ketcham, and Bert Whiting, none of whom have yet the experience for varsity encounters. The right guard slot is being capably handled by sophomore Endicott Peabody (CottV Davison, while Captain Spencer D. Moseley, Yale'8 rock of Gibraltar, holds down the pivot posi- ton. Outstanding player on the Ell eleven, Moseley has made two. thirds of all tackles during the time he has played in each game this fall.
 Tn Ted Kiendl and Bolt Elwell the Blue has two excellent tackles who are potential sixty minute men in Any game. Seldom relieved, they have been an important factor in Yale's two victories over Dartmouth and Brown. The ends slots will not be allotted until late in the week. Freshman Dick Jenkins currently seems to have control of the right flank, but junior Dick Cooley may wrestle the post from him. 0ordy Miller, . senior letterman, started against Cornell, but Fred Dent or Winnie Lynch will have an oppor- tunity for the slot in the Princeton encounter.
