PRINCETON AND
YALE FIGURES
AS THRILLER


New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. l2-The
sixty-Seventh chapter Of the most
traditional American College foot
ball rivalry will be written tomor-
row when the Princeton University
eleven will meet the Bulldog charges
of Coach Howard Odell in the Bowl
The kickoff will be at 3 o'clock
Transportation difficulties will prob
ably limit the crowd to 10000 to
25, 900 dependent upon the weather.
Although the current conflict will
strip this series, dating back to 1873
and continuous since 1876 with the
exception of the war years of 1917
and 1918, of some of its extra-cur-
ricular color, on the gridiron will
be two teams which will leave past
game results and sportswriters' pre-
dictions in the locker rooms when
they meet.
In battles of other years thrills
have been the proverbial dime a
Dozen" and this year looms as no
exception as the contest will pit
offense against oflense and every
indication points to a high scoring
tilt which will settle the big Two
Championship" now that Harvard
has abandoned formal football for
the duration.
For both teams the game will be
an all-important one. The deter
mined Tigers of Coach Harry A,
Mahnken will be out to salvage a
semi-mediocre season In this con-
test, one for which they have been
pointing, and into 1t thely will throw
every trick in the book
Make Or Break
The stake for the Ellis will be
just as great, The Odellmen have
weathered every type Of hard luck
into which they could have run and
are better club than the season
record of three wins and five losses
indicates. In this finale won or
loss will literally make or break the
1913 campaign for them,
In addition to deception via the
sleight-of hand ball handling route,
Princeton is expected totake the air
in its victory quest and will relay
on the precision pitching OF little
Dave Marshall, pre-Divinity
School student, who can pass with
| the best of them. The other end
of this combination Is Capt. Dick
Harding, an end. and high scorer
for the Tigers.
Yale, on the other hand, Is ex-
pected to stick to the ground and
depend upon Its spunky line to open
the way for heet-footed Raymond
| (Scooter) Scussel and Bob Pickett
and Tommy Scannell who will al-
ternate at the fullback post in place
OF the injured Billy Kirst, out Of
the game with an elbow injury he
received last week against Brown.
Twins Are Rivals
The Yale lineup will include only
two men, Macauley Whiting, a
guard and acting captain for to-
morrows contest, and Blake Walker
a veteran quarterback, who have
started every Ell game this year,
while Princeton's team has q half
dozen veterans and Is conceded the
experienced edge. Unique will be the
fact that twin brothers-the Brown
boys from Westfleld, N. Twill play
against each other. Walt, an Ell
end, has been out OF action for the
past three weeks with a wrenched
knee but he Is ready to 60 again;
while on the Tiger side will be his
brother, Charley, a center and q
leterman from last season.
On the basis OF performances
against common opponents-Colum-
bia and BroWn--the two teams are
rated equal. Marshall to Harding
aerials enabled Princeton to beat
the Lions 26 to 7, while Yale ground
out a 20 to victory over the Lou
Little men.
Both teams were nipped by Brown,
Yale 81 to 20 last Saturday In q
drama-packed battle which saw an
uphill fight fail; and Princeton
lost on the rain-soaked Palmer
Stadium turf two weeks ago to the
Bruins by a 20 to 81 score.
Eleven members OF the Yale
squad will see service for the final
time. Two of these are seniors
Scussel and George Esan - While
nine others are Juniors but will be
graduated In June under the ac-
CELEBRATED program In effect at the
University. They are Blake Walker
Jake Hall and Jack Allderlge, both
reserve backs; George Hudanish and
Taylor Greere, both OF whom have
been pivot post starters; Ed Strype
and Bob White, tackles; and Fulton
wilkins and Vance Katherman
ends.
Two other Bulldogs, Harry Ober-
holman and Kirst, out with injuries
will also leave Yale before the next
grid season.
Both Mahnken and Odell have
made no changes In their line-ups
In the past two weeks and none
Is contemplated for the meeting
tomorrow.
The Yale backfleld will be Walker
ut quarterback, Scussel at left half
Egan at right half and Pickett at
fullback. Paul Walker and Brown
