[[STED FOR TOMORROW Victory for Middies Would Give Them Strong " Claim on Eastern Title—Princeton and Blue Machines Well Matched. BY LAWRENCE PERRY, S U NTOLD riches await the foot ball lover on various gridirons of the country Saturday. The grade goes sharply upward, the peak of the gridiron season not far beyond. Princeton meets her historic rival>-Yale—at New Hdven, in a contest which goes down into the roots of tradition, and has an inimitable flavor comparable in the east only to the Yale-Harvard and Army-Navy contests. : Pennsylvania State and the Navy will struggle for supremacy upon the storied turf of Franklin Field, Philadelphia, in a game which means much for both teams from the standpoint of final ratingy Centre College will seek to dazzle Auburn with her flashy play at Birmingham, Ala,, and Georgia Tech will come 'to grips with the strong Georgetown University outfit at Atlanta In the west, Chicago will attempt a comeback at the expense of Illinéis and Michigan and Wisconsil On the west coast_California and Washington will hook up at Syracuse and Colgate will stage their annual classic in the ame. Berkeley. Archbold stadium. 3 By . defeating Pennsylvania State the Navy will be placéd in a position for a fine shot at premier eastern ranking, while on the other hand the Nittany team will gain all sorts of added prestige through a. defeat .of the Midshipmen. Hugo Beszdek's men have one of the most interesting of- fensive systems the writer has seen. Deception is the rule when State has the ball, deception combined with thrusting power. The overhead sys- tem is as well worked out and pre- cisely applled as the line at‘ack. On defense there is less to say about the eleven.- Harvard was able to score three touchdowns against the Penn- sylvania outfit. It may be assumed that if the Navy shows the power, en- durance and elusiveness that she showed agalnst Princeton she will be able to cross State's goal line more than once. How many times State can score against the best' defenss she has faced remains to be seen. Princeton-Yale Well Mstched. In point of personnel the Yale ani Princeton teams are about as evenly | by matched as could be. Keck is an out- standing figure, but there have been reports that he did not come throvgh the Harvard game as fit as could have been hoped. This report is nsconfirm.- ed and Princeton's well wishers will hope that it is untrue, for with this great tackle inefficient through physi- cal handicaps the Tigers would lose a large percentage of their strength on interference. But assuming that he is in fine playing condition, he must be reckoned as a dominating element both on attack and defensively. . Otherwise the players run very sven in physique and .playing abilitz. In the backfleld Jordan should match Garrity, Aldrich, Lourie and on. In the line, basing judgmen form, matters showd be even-enough, with Baker standing out, however.®as the best guard on the fleld -Defensively Yale will probably shovw' no iineman with _greater intuition or better tac- kling ability than Wittmer. y An interesting point relative to the two teams is that Princeton’s first- stringgline-up will show seven seniors in the combination. Yale will pres sent seven sophomores. Time and again it has beén shown. that, all other things being equal, the advan- tage is with the eleven having the experience and solidity that comes with age. Yale Has Lacked Hard Games. Another Important point to be tak- en into consideration relates to the opponents the rival teams have met, the strength: and general . abiltiy of those opponents. In this " réépect Yale's experience cannot bé compared with Princeton’s. Yale has had smooth sailing against medlocre elevens, such as Bates, Vermont, North_ Carolina University, Willlams and Maryland. Her one opponent of reputation was the Army, which Yale defeated, 14 to ‘This appeared to be something of feat until Notre Dame- vanquished the Army, 28 to 0. It was not the score so much the ;Atimy's poor showing in actusl play which' gave hint that perhaps the Elis did not en- counter so formidable a team In the cadet outfit as had been- thought. And, in any event, the Army outrush- ed Yale about two-to one in the ma . ter of yards gained. Princeton s an old battle-scarred war horse, which has come through a sanguinary season. -She met, In turn, Swarthmore, Colgite, the Navy, Chicago, Virginia. and Harvard. It should be noted that agalnst all elev- ens Princeton’s defense;-even i de- feat, was highly creditable. . Most touchdowns against her came from forward passes or forward blocked passes. - = s On offense Princeton has .shown dangerous facility’ with” tie forward pass. It was not intricate: no effort was made to hide the intention; non the less it produced, and that is all that one may ask of any play. Omn line attack the Tigers “have ‘shown nothing. remarkable all season. The fault has been one of instruction. Yale has opened dut with the over- head game as never before, and she plays it well. In fact, most of her scores have come through overhead heaves. There are deception, precision and elusive running with the caught ball. In line attack Yale has done nothing to date to indicate that she is -~ @ny better in this respect than Princeton has been. But Yale would hot be Yale without some driving power on or off the tackles, and we may ex- gecl to see proof of this on Saturday. ale may get slightly better distance in punting and her wingmen will cover kicks as well as the Princeton ends take care of Lourle’s drives. Both teams will be alert and resouce- ful. In fact, this game, which, on er, 1ooks to be a toss-up, may well dectded on the basis of a break DURING THE MONTHE OF NOVEMBER 'WE ARE MAKING A SPECIAL PRIGE ON California Tops and Craftsmen Finish e Let us estimate on ear or roadster into & closet will play an important TIGER SQUAD PRACTICES ON YALE FIELD TODAY, PRINCETON, N. J., November 11.— Princeton's varsity and scrub foot ball squads left this .morning for New Haven for the game with Yale tomorrow. They will arrive in time to practice in the bowl this afternoon. They will spend the “night before the game” at Derby, Conn. It was announced before the depar- ture that the team that would start would be the same as defeated Har- vard without making a substitution. ‘This line-up is Snively and Stinson, ends; Keck and Hooper, tackles: Mor- gan and Baker, guards; Wittmer, center: Lourie. quarterback: Garrity nndeHroy, halves, and Cleaves, full- ack. Yale Team Is Ready. NEW HAVEN, Oonn., November 11.—Except for a signal drill this afternoon. which will precede Prince- ton's work in the bowl, the Yale varsity is ready for the game against the Tigers on Baturday. There was \& dummy scrimmage vesterday for the first and second varsity teams against two scrub teams. The line-up which will surely start tomorrow is as follows: Hullman, left end: Into, left tackle; Crutkshank, left guard; hndisbcexn . ter: Guernsey, right guard: Diller, right tackle: Sturm, right end; Beck- et or O'Hearn, quarterback; Aldrich, left halfback: Jordan, right halfback, and Mallory, fullback.

Indications point to a hard battle between Wisconsin and Michigan, though Wisconsin has nat tasted de- feat this season. Michigan has a perfeet squad of, thirty-two men on which.to draw, and the thirty-third, Don Wieman, out because of jnjuries, will be on the ‘l’ollndlca& Madison. Coach ‘Yost has annount that he will not pick the eleven for the game until he has seen the condition of the ground. . _ Ohlo Should Win E: - There is little doubt as to the out- come of the Ohio-Purdue game, for Ohio has beaten all comers inciuding Chicago. Since eago beat Prince- ton and other big-ten opponents ex- ceépt. Ohlo, the' overwhelming strength of Ohio is ‘apparent compared with Purdue, ‘whose only vigtory was over Northwestern University.

O NLY foot ball games scheduled here tomorrow are the annual bat- tle between Catholic University and the University of Maryland and between Technical High and the University of Maryland Freshmen. Both are to be played at American League Park, the Tech- Freshman at 1 o’clock and the varsity contest at 2:30. Judged by what the Tech and Freshman elevens did against each other last year the preliminary contest should be one of the best of the kind of the year. Tech and Maryland yearlings played a 10-to-0 game in 1920, the College Park men winning. Tech, with a better team now, hopes to avenge its-defeat. It will be a case almost of Tech against Tech, as the main strength of the Maryland first-year team is centered in Tech graduates. That fact in itself should cause considerable rivalry between the two elevens. - Catholic University and Maryland jalways play close, hard games. At jleast, that has been the history of | the meetings between them. Th$ largest scores ever made in the games were 20 to 0 and 16 to 0.
