Changes in the personnel of the Princeton 'Varsity yesterday after- oon made it appear as if Coach Rush Were far from decided yet as to what eleven men he would finally elect to send against Yale in the Palmer Stadium next Saturday.

In the contest with Harvard, Rush gave a complete surprise by starting Thomas, a substitute halfback, and there may be other unexpected changes in the line-up when Prince- ton faces the Elis this week. Hopes are now entettained that Dave Tib- bott will be in that he will be able to go in and send a drop kick over t% bar if it is need- ¢d.

N. J., Nov. 15.—Prince- ton and Yale are now ready to renew their annual battle on the gridiron. This year’s clash will be held at the | Palmer stadium here Nov- 18. Barlier in the season the Tiger eleven was ruling favorite, but since Yale has displayed such brilliant football the outcome is a tossup. History tells us that, whether Yale or Princeton is weak, both teams seem to put up a great struggle when they clash on the gridiron. Harvard recently took Princeton into camp by a score of 3 to 0, and Brown took Yale into camp by a score of 21 to 6. Accordng to Princeton experts, if the Tigers do not whip Yale this fall Nassau's sons | will be astonished. The Tigers have practically the same team that was beaten at New Haven last year. Ex- perience means a lot on the gridiron, so that the Tigers are well off in this respect- Ixperts say if Princeton had Tibbott in the lineup against Harvard the result might have been different. The Yale rush line .as well as the backfield, has displayed an eagerness to get into the thickest of battle that has been most pleasing to the coaches. The same caliber of fight- ing spirit that made former blue elevens the most formidable aggrega- tions on the gridiron was apparent. Upon this fact alone New Haven is always willing to back its representa- ives in the conflict with Pr Layout shows some of the - ton stars.
