"A sellout crowd Of $4,000
fans will watch Princeton and
Yale battle for this years
championship in Yale Bowl
tomorrow.
Yale is favored by seven
points, for it is unbeaten, un-
tied and fully recognized. even
by non-Ivy League people. as q
team of consequence.
It is a new and wonderful
feeling for Coach Jordan Olivar
and his athletes, for Just two
years ago the Ellis were patsies,
even for their seven Ivy League
opponents. Last season they
shut out their first five op-
ponents, only to get nosed out
by Dartmouth and creamed by
Penn, and the champion,
Harvard.
Tigers Lost Opener
Princeton. too, has come
back, shaking of last seasons,
3-4 record that put it in a tie
for fifth place. The Tigers blew
the opener with non-Ivy Rut-
gers. fumbling away victory in
the final minutes, but they've
been rolling since with six
straight victories.
Yale's big worry is its un-
familiarity with Princeton's
single wing. The Ellis haven't
seen that formation since they
beat the Tigers, 1920, last
year. and this season the Tigers
have been making it work like
q charm.
Their John L. Sullivan, also
called "Silky" after the race
horse, and Hugh Scott take
turns operating the offense
from the tailback spot.
= It may be wise for the Ellis
TO punt the ball away from
Sullivan. The 5-foot-10. 1861
pound senior from Old Orchard
Beach, Me-, twice has come
back with the punted ball all
the way go yards against
Rutgers and SO yards against
Columbia.
Scott Good Passer
Scott has been a passing
master, as well as a runner of
distinction, while Princeton has
other runners that could give
Yale trouble In Terry Conroy,
q 6-foot-3. 200-pound sopho-
more, John MacMurray, Brew
ster Loud. Roger Holt and Don
Kornrumpf. d
Z. Yale's big guns have. heen
Quarterback Tom Singleton,
Halfback Kenny Wolfe and
Fullback Bob Blanchard.
II Yale receives, the Tigers
won't want to kick to Wolfe,
6-foot-11, 180-pound senior
from Norristown, Pa. He took
the opening kickoff back 100
yards against Brown, but the
play was called back because of
0 penalty.
So Wolfe waited until the
next game against Columbia.
He then took the opening
kickoff back 81 yards for a
touchdown and this time Of
ficials could see nothing wrong
with it.
Blanchard Top Scorer
Blanchard, g. foot 2, 200
pound fullback, owns the rec
ord at Yale for the longest
touchdown run Of any kind. He
went SO yards with an inter-
cepted pass against Colgate.
On the same day he threw a
37-yard scoring pass to End
John Hutcherson and scored on
a four-yard run. He is Yale's
biggest scorer with six touch
downs and five two-point con-
versions for as points.
Next high is Singleton, s.
foot-11. 190-pound operator of
0livar's split-T offense. The
senior from Kenilworth. Ill,
has scored four touchdowns,
passed for three others, passed
for four two-point conversions
and ran over the two points
once.
Each team has one game re-
naming next week, Yale at
Harvard and Dartmouth at
Princeton. All other Ivy League
teams have lost at least two,
so tomorrow's winner clinches
no worse than a tie for the
championship.
