Yale Eleven Picked to
Beat Tigers at Football
Stubborn Battle Likely to
Hinge on Power of the
Blue Line.
IOW THE TEAMS COMPARE
-pparent Weakness on the
Ends and One Tackle of
Princeton Team May
Prove Fatal.
By Herbert.
Captain Jesse Spaldlns will lead the
Tale eleven Into action atalnat Captain
Pendleton and hie Tigers at Princeton to?
day, and the football world Is agog. 'Way
back In 1878 teams representing the two
universities faced each other for the first
time on the gridiron, and since then Tale
has won twenty games, Princeton ten,
while seven resulted In a tie. Now comes
the thirty-eighth battle, and, after care?
ful*.}' weighing the elevens in the balance,
and without prejudice, be It aald, I feel
constrained to name Tale as the winner.
It Is so easy task to diagnose the play of
two teams which have had no opponents
In common and which have pursued a
different policy in development, but, con?
sidering the problem from known angles,
in the face of much secrecy on the part
of the coaches, I can reach no other con
ciuslon. Needless to say, both teams are
hopeful, even confident.
My chief reason for picking Tale to beat
Princeton lies in the Blue forwards. The
rush line Is the keystone of a football
team's construction, and I do not hesi?
tate to say that Tale can boast of the
best offensive line since Tom Shevline
time. This may seem like a bold state
meat, but the opinion is shared by two or
three men who have watched the Tale
team develop, and in whose Judgment 1
have great confidence. The Blue for?
ward? are bulky, and yet combine rare
speed with their weight They are ag?
gressive, too. and charge harder and surer
than any I have seen this year. Further?
more, they are well grounded In the nice?
ties of football, notwithstanding the opin?
ion of some critics after the Brown game.
It is this Une, then, as opposed to Prince?
ton's, which makes the Tigers suffer in
comparison.
I did not see the Tale-Brown game, as
I waa up at Ithaca watching Dartmouth
defeat Cornell, but I have enjoyed other
opportunities of studying the Tale team.
It also waa my privilege to watch
Princeton beat Dartmouth and go down
before Harvard, and. while football is
uncertain at best, my impressions are no
learly defined that I do not hesitate to
.press them.
Value of a Strong Lin*.
h3 best backs in the world will ap?
ar weak and ineffective unless the for
,.rds can open up the necessary holes
. the opposing line or furnish the need
. protection until the man running with
.. ball Is fairly started. This was
vlklngly emphaetred at Cambridge two
eeks ago. when such brilliant backs as
?..obey" Baker, Pendleton. Waller and
eWltt actually lost two yards by
:iralght rushing in the second half be
?auee the Princeton forwards were un?
ible to cope with the Harvard line. The
'igers profited by that lesson and no
oubt have improved under the whip of
he coaches, but It strikes me that the
earn was too weak at one tackle and
Kith ends, under the system of play
adopted, against Harvard for any amount
of drilling and driving to bring It up to
the required standard and to offset the
advantage which Tale seems to have In
the line.
So far as the backflelds go there is
little to choose. Individually and col
lectiveb, I have a leaning to Prlnceton
that is, I would have if satisfied that the
two lines were equal in strength. As It
is, it would not be surprising to see
Captain Spalding. "--efty" Flynn and
Phllbin shine in comparison with de
Witt, "Hobey" Baker, Captain Pendleton
and Waller. In substitutes, however,
Yale is much stronger, as the Blue ha?
a second string of backs, made up of
Pumpelly, Markle and Cornell, who, by
the way, is a better halfback than he is
h Quarterback, that is so nearly equal
to the first string that the coaches hav?
been almost at a loss to make a choice.
In any case, the Tale backfleld would not
ha materially weakened if two or more
substitutions were nereesary.
Neither eleven can boast of a Charley
Brlekley. but both have strong punters
and reasonably sure drop and place kick?
ers. DeWitt had an off day In punting
?gainst Harvard, but he he? proved his
-.kill in many games, and Is quite likely to
hold his own with Flynn. who In all prob?
ability, will do most of tne punting tor
Yale "Hobey" Baker, for the Tigers,
and Pumpelly. for the Blue, are the ones
most likely to be called on for drop or
plac. kicking if the opportunity arises.
The Tale eleven has been developed
slowly, and has shown only Just enough
scoring ability to win all the games
played. This does not indicate, however,
that the running game has been neglected
pr that the offene? has not been developed
to a point that will carry a punch when a
punch la needed. The defence has been
strong all the season and the goal line
has not been -crossed.
Th? Tigers, on the other hand, have
rolled up 31? points this year, with an at
ack that was varied and fairly cohesive,
iut in the real test against Harvard the
unnlng game was at fault against a
trong defence, and a touchdown was
?ored only by a clever use of the for
ard pass. The defence In that game and
iso against Dartmouth was not quite
?mpact enough to check opponents Inside
?e ?-yard line, even though it was
rong enough to hold them off for a
me.
Hew the Player? Compsr?.
Tale has a strong centre trio, with
etcham at centre and Cooney and Pen
leton guards, while the tackles, Warren
nd Talbot, are above the average. In
is opinion of at least three of the Tale
?aches. Bomaisler, at right and. has no
jual in that position on his play last
ear, when ha found a place on the All
merican team by common consent. H?
as not played much this season on ac
iunt of an Injury'to his shoulder, but
e Is in excellent condition for the test
.-day. la all probability, he will be
ikea out early to save him for Har
ird, for capable substitutes are ready

has been handicapped by e broken bone
In hla hand, more particularly aa he Is
known aa an arm tackier. Avery will be
at left end, and a better man a? a run?
ning mate for Bomelsler wou,d be hard
to find. He ts blessed with football In?
stinct, diagnoses playa quickly, ts clever
at receiving the forward pase and fast
1b ratting down under punts.
There is a ?tmng feeling among the
coaches that "Squab" Read is too
valuable a man to keep on the 6lde linea,
and in all probability he will be substl
tuted some time in the game for Pendle
ton, Cooney or Ketcham He is the same
Und of an all around player as* Ketcham,
with a eharp, vicious charge, has a keen
sense in following the ball and la a hard,
sure tackier, whether in the Une or In
the open. I will be disappointed if the
opportunity Is not furnished for blm to
show his ability.
Opposed to Cooney, Ketcham and Pen
dleton In the centre of the line will be
Shenk, Bluethenthal and I?gan. for'
Princeton, and all things considere?! there
is not much to choose The battle be?
tween Bluethenthal and Ketcham should
prove particularly interesting, an on the
outcome will depend tho cholea of a cen?
tre) for the All-America team. Phillips at
one tackle for Princeton Is likely to be
conspicuous, .but Penfleld at the other
tackle was disappointing in both the Har?
vard and Dartmouth cames, and it will
not be surprising If the Yale backs rr.ske
many yards through and over him. On
the ends Dunlap will be sadly missed, ae
Qoldle Wight and Andrewa. to say noth?
ing of Streit, suffer In comparison with
the wing men of Yale.
It would not be surprising if Captain
Pendleton played an end position In all
or part of the game, not only to bolstor
up one of these positions, but to make
a place for "Hobey" Baker In the back
feld. Pendleton played end for a short
time in the Harvard game and played It
In a way to Indicate that he was thor?
oughly at home.
leffty Plynn muet prove himself to-day
in Yale's backfield Soma critics count ,
him a host in himself, and there is no
question about his being a dashing run?
ner In the open and a bard man to stop.
It strikes me. however, that h? Is still a
hit green, and that he la not so valuable
In bucking the line as one could eip*<**t
of a man of his weight and speed. He
will be carefully watched, too. which
may operate against his chances to ahlne,
hut in spite of this I look for him to be
a power in the Yale attarK. Phllbln and
Bpaldlng, however, are likely to benr the
l.runt of the work in plunges through the
centre and running plays off tackle, while
Pumpelly and Markle**?fte almost sure to
be u**mJ before the game ends.
t'aptatn ?palding thinks highly of
Wheeler at quarterback, but I have not
seen enough of him to pass an opinion.
There Is no question about hla being the
best man. with Cornish out of the game,
and if be come? up to expectations this
afternoon How?, the bead coach, and hi?
assistants can congratulate themselves on
solving a most difficult problem.
Little further need be said about th?
Princeton backs. All are tried and true.
"Hobey" Baker has few equala In a
broken field with any kind of start and
Captain Pendleton Is hard to stop, both
in end running and through the Une.
while Welter and deWitt can plunge
and dive through holes with the best.
Both elevens are of the fighting type,
but the Tiger?, If anything, have shown a
little more keenness in following the ball
and taking advantage, of opportunities.
This may have a bearing, but H will not
count so largely as a year ago, when
Princeton beat Yale by a ?core of ? to 3,
thanks partly to the ever present Bam
White
Harvard May Catch a Tartar.
It seems almost a pity that the Yale
Princeton battle should stand out so bold?
ly, as there are other gamee on the card
this afternoon which,promise well. Dart?
mouth is sure to give Harvard a bitter
struggle, and, as I said on Monday, it
would not b? surprising If the Crimson

Princeton and showed enough fini''
that time to Indicate that It wa.* well
advanced. It will have to be at Its best,
however, to-day. as th? Dartmouth eteven

Wllllamstown. Nov. IS?Williams hopes
to complete on? of the most succeisful
season? In It? football history by a vic?
tory over Amherst on Pratt Field, Am?
herst, to-morrow. Fred Daly, the Pur
ple't coach for the past two years, has
the entire confidence of the student body,
as a college meeting during the early
part of the week gave evidence He got
an ovation which lasted fully four min?
utes, and that ia a long ovation from any
body of American undergraduates.
Everybody In Willlamstown will travel
to Amherst to-morrow on the "special"
which 1? scheduled to leave at 11:03, giv?
ing all the men an opportunity to attend
thre? out of the four classes that morn?
ing. At Tuesday's college meeting a col?
lection wss taken up for a band.
The team'a work during the past week
has been entirely encouraging to Daly.
No graduate coaches have been required,
as on alrqoat every previous occasion, but
the chances for victory seem better than
usual. Kvery man Is in excellent physi?
cal condition.
The squad left at 4:56 o'clock this after?
noon for Qreenfleld, and will stay there

Detroit, Ht-fe , Nov. U -The <'orne!l
fSotbaO team, ?'onHiatlnn of twenty-five
players, arrived here thl? morning and
went directly to the Detroit Country
Club, which Is their headquarters until
they ??o to Ann Arbor to meet Michigan
to-morrow afternoon. Directly after
lunch R. F Cross, 'H, a member of
the last Cornell team to defeat Penn?
sylvania, appeared at the clubhouse with
fourteen a'itomoblle?, and took the men
OS a Hlghtaeelng tour through Detroit.
Iaatn In the afternoon, Coach Dr. Al
Rharpe callt>d his men together on the
green, and for an hour or so had them
run through ?tgnaia and limber .up by
punting the ball. Every man on the
?quad took part In thl? work, In? ludtng
O Connor and Kritz. both of whom It Is
now thought will get Into the game to?
morrow. The blackboard talk preceded
thi .linn?*? to-night, and the men retired
?srljr,
In the cHmp to-night there seems to
he a ?troiiK feeling of confidence. Trie
Cornell ?leven which will atart the gam?
to-morrow Is practically the aamo as the
one which opened the garne ?gainst |
Dartmouth, except that O'Connor will be
repte**- by Taber. Much satisfaction Is
felt bv the fact that Captain Hutl.r will
be able to ?tart the game, for a great
deal depends upon him.
The probable line-up follows:
I-eft end, l.yrich; left tackle, tluyer;

right guard, Champaign; right tackle,
Nash; right end, O'licarne; quarterback,

The Cornell Alumni Association of

UNION TO FACE HAMILTON
Victory for Garnet Will Wind
Up a Successful Season.
'By T*legr?ph to Th? Tribun?.]
S. henectady, N. T., Nov. 1..?Union
College will play Hamilton in it? last
football game of the season to-morrow.
The Union line-up will lie practically the
?ame as that which played against Stev?
ens last ?Saturday, ana the undergraduates
are contldent that the aeason will i?
brought to a close In a blaze of glory.
Union has lost only one game this season
and that was to the strong Wesleyan
team.
Hamilton, on the other hand, ha? had
oor -MOONS. Fred Dawson, the coach of
'iiliin. is taking no chances, and the prac?
tice of the last few day? haa been of th?
most gruelling order. Iiokerk, the centre,
who has been out of the game for the
laat two weeks with a "charley horse,"
ha? entirely recovered and will play
?entre against the men from Clinton
Union banka high on the ability of Cap?
tain Dewi-y, the ?tar backfleld man. and
Jenkins, the tackle, whose play has been
of the heat.
The students are planning a gala day.
The annual freshman "peerade" will be
h. Id in the afternoon. The "fresh" will
he all "dolled up" In fancy costume? and
will parade around the city streets. Many
new football songa adapted to popular

husky and in good condition. The coaches
are confident that their team will play
Harvard to a small score, but the Han?
over undergraduates are picking up all
the 6 to 4 money In sight, and It Is not
Improbable that the betting will be even
to-morrow.
The Dartmouth line-up probably will be;
Hogsett, left end; Englehorn, left tackle;
Dunbar, left guard; Gibson, centre; Ben?
nett, right guard; Ef.tep, right tackle;
Loudon, right end; Llewelly. quarterback;
Whitney, left halfback; Curtis, right half?
back; Snow, fullback.

PRINCETON All ABLAZE
Campus Looks Like Broadway
on Eve of Big Game.
YALE TEAM THE FAVORITE
Both Elevens Take Light Work,
and Coaches Say They Are
Ready for Whistle.
[By Tel ?rraph to Th? Tribune]
Princeton, If. J . Nov. 15.-The Tigers
finished their fo-.thall training this after?
noon on Oshorri?* Field with a light elcnal
drill lasting half an hour, and are ready
for their laut game of the season against
Vale. The men roamed over the gridiron
IB great style. Speed and fight were manl- ;
fest in every move, and if the Held Is dry
to-morrow no excuse? will b?? offered if j
defeat ensues. Soggy turf, however, ?
would handicap th? Oranse and Black.
The Held Is under a heavy cover of*
'?traw, and If there Is no rain to-night It.
ought to he fast and firm. It was a little |
-oft this afternoon.
Vale U a slight favorite In the bettln?",
but the undergraduates ure full of con?
fidence and expect the t?am to repeat the
victory of a year ago. The players, too,
are confident. They retired early this
evening to Patton Hall, far away from
the excitement of tho campus.
Princeton Is as lively as Broadway to?
night Special trains have been bringing
the "old grade" back Several reunion
tents have been pitched, and bands and
torchlight "pee-rades," on they call them
in Princeton, are^ making things lively.
Applications for ?bout three thousan?!
tickets could not be filled, and the mor?
row promises to be a bin: day In the home
of the Tlgrr.
fBy Telegraph to Tb? Tribun? 1
New Haven, Nov. IS. The Yale team
went through Its final work this after?
noon before) the Princeton game, and at
Its conclusion the Yale coaches pro?
nounced everybody ready and eager for
the fra>. The squad returned to the
gymnasium happy and singing, with no
dread of the struggle or fear as to Its
outcome. The coache? are all looking for
a close, hard game, and will feel satisfied
to win by a single touchdown The' rea?
son for this Is that the coaches believe
Princeton to be really two weeks ahead
of Yale In form
The players left here for Princeton at
t'M s'sfoek this evening and will sleep
In New York. Most of the undergrad?
uates left In town were at the station to
cheer the team, hut the crowd was small,
as so many had left for Princeton earlier
In the day, or rather for New York, on
the way to the lair of the Tiger?.
Howe, the head coach, ?aid no late
changes had been made In th? line-up
and that the team a? pnnounced yester?
day would ?tart the game.
The only football attraction here to?
morrow will be the game between the
Yale and Harvard freshmen. The Crim?
son cubs are the favorite?.

FLYNN M K A
TO
So Says Metzger in Giving
Three Reasons for Yale to
Beat Princeton.
LIKES TYPE OF BLUE LINE
?
Defensive Formations Another
Indication in Favor o?
Captain Spalding and
His Men.
(By Sol Metzger.)
I am Inclined to favor tlio yH|e tea-,
In its football game with Princeton to?
day for three reasons. The tirit it
Flynn, the Blue fullback; the second I?
the superior rush line, physically apea*,,
ing, which Vale certainly possesses, a?*
the third is stronger formatons, de?
fensiv, ly speaking. At that th. re Is not
so great a margin, and If "tale plays u
It did one week ago with Bnrara I win
come back from Princeton like tit?
proverbial whipped dog bo far as belr-j
a prophet is conctrntd, v\hi-.!i 1 matt?
no boast to be.
This forecast is entirely in the naturs
of a comparison of the two contending
forces, baaed upon what I have ?t-tn this
season In following them in varloui
games. Bat 1 do not look for Yalt I?
play the sort of game it did against
Brown, nor do I look for Princeton te
play as It did against the strung Har?
vard team at Cambridge, but more like
the Tigers did against the Dartrnoutli
eleven.
Flynn is a dangerous man by r*as-,n of
his slashing runs up the side of th?
field. It would not surprise me to am
him race to a touchdown at ar.y time by
one of these dashes. In addltl in, Flynr,
will play an all Important part because
of his punting, the style of game, I fane**,
Vale will select to get within striking
distance without wearing out the back*
Flynn's punting Is as good and as bad
as his other play. He should surpass de
Witt. the Tiger fullback. In distant?,
height and even accuracy, but he Is m
slow In getting off his punts, du? te
?i i.ilng forward toward the line of ?crlm
mage, that he Is In grave danger of per?
mitting a kick to b?. blocked. Flynn'i
two steps forward before boutlng the bell
place him within five or six yards of tin
Una of scrimmage, whereas the beat punt?
ing la done from eight or nine yards
tack DeWitt is a master of the bette*
form.
I'lynn b pi.nts give his linemen plenty
of time to rover, a valuable point, acd
for that reason I d? not look for I'rin-e
ton to run the ball back Prineeti n e-?.jt
us?; only otn man r-ack to handle 'n-m,
as was the case a-ralnst Banrard, tut
the Tigers ar? taking a big chai ..? u>
following this pian. It was liki I) aja)
about through fear of forward
by the Cambridge eleven which i-hould
not be so vital a ; art of Val-:'.- 'uck
at this date.
DeWitt's punts should b? run < I
Yale has a man who can cafh ?hem.
Should I-'lynn be pl-iyel ba.-k with Wheel?
er, and he has overcome hi*, fu
look for him to mike many lore ?
d-.'Witt's punti arc g"t off n
and driven ao low that there :
tiiii- lot tho Valu back to ,
?pet d.
The second teason for ;
lies in the type of the fore ? fat
h*?* **.elKht ar.d strength, and
men have tho hie and ?1h h
far lackad 10 follow thru
th.y ?ju-iitt to aaaetber I
b.ll hh
Princeton's on? hope In Uni ?.rttf
is that Yale's ?uards are too \M*
enced, too unseasoned, to mai h
terms with Logan and Bbeok, v, ?ueupon
the Tigers will hurl deWttt and Waller
at thes? points ulth telling ?
My third reason for tetfOrtnl Vale I*
based on ?iefensive fonnitni'. K ??
no fuith.-r B????<'. >'t' dwelllfll -**>*"? tbj
'Jlgt-r system of defeaatva end ? ???.-? ?"*??
has a superior one. And. because of th?
Pliacataa style. Yale ha?, ore ,v ?jht ?'',

Is the rush of the hack?, off utvKle. al?*-?:
first at the end. The tart dl iwi th? en?!

It takes a dashing ta-kle to over ?.?,

two men who oppose him. tue tacMQ a-p|

consequently. 1 look for Yale ??fW

It does not belong. . . - ,_.,.,,
The Tigers are likely to ?eel ?^n? ?

to win. I have rarely seen ai. eleven ?,
