48 S FLI S GIVEN EDGE INRUNNING ATTACK Booth May Weigh Scale in Bulldog’s Favor—Lehigh Task for Lafayette. BY W. W. ROPER, Princeton Foot Ball Coach. ‘The Harvard-Yale game looms big in the East for tomorrow. As I see it there As little to choose between the teams. Physical condition favors Harvard. The Princeton game always takes a lot out of the Yale players, though I doubt if this year's contest took as much out of them as the three preceding ones. Yale got off to a slow start against Princeton last Saturday, and was not at her best during the first half. In the second half the Ell attack got going, but gained mainly on end runs. The Yale attack was not a grueling one, and didn't exact as much of the line. Yale is well fortified with reserve ma- terial, and Stevens used plenty of play- ers against the Tigers. Booth was kept out of the game. His charleyhorse should now be much better. All in all Yale should go into the Harvard game in the best physical condition in years. Didn’t Need Booth. The team found itself without Booth against Princeton, and the players should be in fine spirits. Still, it is a hard job to play Princeton and Harvard on successive Saturdays, and here Har- vard has a big advanta; Yale has a strong running attack with a powerful end run, but the Har- vard scouts, after having seen this play against Princeton, should be able to stop it. The Harvard tackles must shift. 10 meet the run and the Harvard ends must come in sharply at the ball car- rier, If the Harvard tackles and ends wait on the line they will be taken out of the play. Or course, with Booth in the game there is the threat of the cut back, and the Harvard defensive back will be put to the test. To date Yale has not shown much of @ passing game. The Yale attack has been built around Booth, who, I under- stand, is not much of a passer. This is a weakness that may be Yale's undoing if Harvard can stop the Yale running game. Yale hasn’t shown much of a passing attack to date. Yale Attack Stronger. After giving Harvard the edge on physical condition, I would say Yale has the more it long passing attack, and a mighty good passer. I look to see Lhel.c;lmlon threaten in this department all after- " noon. 4 Coupled with this, Harvard is the best ful analysis of teams lndmknmnluumd:em.l can see little to choose. “h?:‘sh.:“ chance in ‘There to choose between the teams.

Another strenuous scrimmage tomorrow will end the rough work for the season until the Cadets face the Tech eleven on Thanksgiving day. Of the 11 men who probably will take the field against Coach Andy Gustaf- son's crew, 10 will be lost by gradu: ation, as R. Dunn, hard-hitting full back, is the only underclassman on the regular team. In addition, & half- dozen of the first-string substitutes who have played in nearly every game will be in their last contest. Third-year men on the flying squad- ron are Capt. Hawkins, Grow, Louis Haase, Phil Willard, Jo Moody, Ben Smith, Johnnie Biggs, Charlie Holtz- claw, Basil Gravatt, T. O. Palmer and Charlie Haase. ST. FRANCIS IS FEARED BY CRIPPLED TERRORS WESTMINSTER, Md., November 22.—An inexperienced backfield will represent Western Maryland tomorrow against St. Francis, one of the best small college teams in the East. Of the backs who passed and plunged their way to victory against Georgetown only Wel- linger is left. Gomsak, Clary and Doughty are all out with severe injuries, the first named rmanently, while the most stunning low occurred this week when Ekaitis was taken to the hospital with a form of blood posoning. Kohout, who had been coming along nicely, is out with a leg injury, while his understudy at the running guard, Wal- lace, also is in the hospital. In desperation, the coaches of the Terrors have worked to convert Pelton from an end into a guard and he prob- ably will play against St. Francis. Jones will take Ekaitis’ place and pair with Klepac. Lawrence will play in place of Doughey with Havems calling signals from the center position, The starting line-up probably will be: Bates and Baker, ends; Pincura and O'Lear, tackles; Weisbeck and Pelton guards; Capt. Havens, center; Lawrence, quarter; Wellinger and Jones, halves, | and Klepac at fullback. PORTS. THE SPO Y Alto. through many decades. and heart interest. Tomorrow, in ‘There is greater interest in each con- test this season than their average meeting can show, with something to spare. California and Stanford are two of the strongest teams that foot ball calls into action for 1929. Harvard d Yale are well above last season's strength, so far as possibilities go. The Blue and the Crimson have played high class foot ball and each has been able to put on attack worth looking at—an attack hooked to speed and power— plus an improvement in the passing game. Outstanding Stars. ALE has had in Albie Booth one of the sensational backs of the year— of many years. It has been a long time since a back, weighing well under 150 pounds, was able to star upon a big- | time organization, facing a hard sched- ule. Harvard has in Barry Wood one of the star passers of the game. When Flelding Yost rates him up in the aeighborhood one, ruled by Benny Fried- man, the caliber of his marksmanship can be understood. Wood can't run and kick with Booth and Booth can't pass with Wood. There was a time when the East was supposed to be well back of the West in forward passing. This season the East has two of the grea‘ast passers foot ball has known, in Cazle and Wood. If the West has! had ers to match this pair they have been kept under cover since the season started. Harvard has a better all-around back- field than Yale has—a stronger col- lection of reserves, Not many teams can bank upon such a flock as Harper, Mays, Putnam. Wood, Hughely, Potter, Deven and Gilligan. By GRANTLAND RIC Where Tradition Counts. ALE and Princeton have had their annual war, but tomorrow two of the big traditional games of foot ball still remain—Har- vard and Yale, at Cambridge; Stanford and California at Palo These two games have gone deep into sentiment and they They have nearly always been full of color about the double meeting of four strong teams.

It was Lom's all-around play that helped California to upset Pennsylvania and Southern California, He will be hard to suppress at Palo Alto. This Far Western game should be a classic.

Bears Good in Pinches. My opinion is that California will win the title in a close contest. It has a good team and one which has been able to pull through when necessary. However, this season has brought a uflesotuwumhuhumtbe:: ualed in the history of the game, a :qnother one ,tgmon'nw is mot too un- consider. ukfiyl: of course, possible that the California eleven will not be at the peak were f ‘Washing- If they are not, the defeat which Santa Clara gave Stanford last Saturday may affect the result, for the Stanford boys unquestionably will do their utmost to retrieve the laurels they then lost. 0’( the players themselves, Lom for California should prove the outstanding back, and his work will be watched with interest, as he has been mentioned prominently for All-American honors. Stanford has fast backs in Frentrup and Moffet and they may prove a dafi- gerous threat to California. Gill Deserves Credit. Gill, California fullback, deserves special mention for the splendid game he has played this season, both offen~ sively and defensively, and will, doubt, offer plenty of resistance to Stanford. Both teams have sturdy and capable lines, and if there is any out.!'.lndlnfi figure on the line of scrimmage it wil be Roy Riegels, California center. The University of Southern California meets Idaho at Los Angeles, and, based on previous records, the Trojans should win, but not without a stubborn fl?ht, ‘The University of Washington plays Chicago.

Fear of North Carolina's passes is caus- ing Virginia much worry. Consequently the Cavaliers are working overtime try- ing to perfect an aerial defense to be used in the Thanksgiving game in Chapel Hill, Last Saturday Washington and Lee gained 185 yards in passes against Vir- ginia. The only tl that saved the ! Cavaliers from defeat was that their own passing attack, headed by Capt. Johnny Sloan and Bill Thomas, counted 227 yards in 12 completed throws. In the last four plays of the game, with the score a 13-to-13 tie, the Gen- erals worked four successful passes one after the other to take the ball from their own 20-yard line to the Cavalier 10-yard stripe, where the game ended. Virginia’s men remember how Caro- lina gained a victory on Lambeth Field last' Fall largely on the aerial route. is far from perfect, but they want to have it at its best when they go down to Chapel Hill Coach Abell is having Sloan, Faulco- ner, Kaminer, Lewy, Thomas, Bryant, Sippley, Goldenberg, Gravatt and any other backs who may get into the Car- olina game concentrate on ‘defensive play against the Daffodil eleven drilled in Tar Heel tactics.

University of Tlinois Foot Ball Coach. IG TEN teams have played &/ lot of good foot ball this season tomorrow, although the cham- pionship was settied last week. Traditional rivalries are often more the vision of a championship crown. Northwestern, defeated by Indiana, to general surprise, bears the banners of the penultimate game of the Irish cam- paign. A coach likes nothing better tham a bunch of eager sophomores full | in all " directions, and Northwestern against Illinois’ veterans was a fine example of this spirit. Northwestern Coach Hanley did not have the reserve power to keep up the pace.

If the Pacific Coast triumvirate is as good as assumed this should indicate superiority over Chicago. Chicago Is Average. Chicago has only average players and no backs of great ability, although Van Nice looked good against Princeton. Nevertheless, Coach Stagg's wide pass- ing formation, with one player out at | the side line and another in motion, is | hard to stop. My guess is Chicago. Iowa has pounded along week after shot a lot of its strength in its struggle against Purdue. Inherently the Hawk- cyes are a better team than Michigan. They are better open-field tacklers. But the Hawkeyes have made their | great effort and failed and the Mich- igan game is an anti-climax for them. Michigan, coming back after a disas- trous start to beat Harvard and Minne- sota, is in fine spirits and has more in- | centive, The Wolverines should be at their best. The game will be tight and may be decided by a point after touch- down or a field goal, but my guess is Michigan. You may expect Indiana to make a great stand against Purdue at Bloom- ington, but the champions should down their hereditary rivals. Indiana has a | strong passing attack, as well as Pur- | due, but the Purdue backs are better. Ohio State's players, refreshed by a rest last Saturd: d eager to close with victory over an old rival, are likely to play over their heads against Illinois at Columbus.

Ohio State's schedule was arranged to permit an easy game in advance of the Illinois contest.
