On to Harvard. (New Haven Union.) If the defeat of the Yale team by Princeton last Saturday doesn’t make | the Yale eleven sore enough at itsell to wallop Harvard at Cambridge next | Saturday nothing will. We can accept | without a whimper a defeat for Yale when Yale is outclassed. But Yaloe was not outelassed Saturday. Man for man it had a bizger stronger team than Princetan. It proved that at a score of places during the game. Yot it was outplayed. out-generaled, out- zamed by an inferior Princeton aggre- ration. Defensiely from tackle to tackle the work of the cleven was beyond praise Offensively there was absolutely ‘mo- body home.” As an attacking machine the Yale eleven is no better now than it was early in Octobe It showed only too clearly that it has no versal- ity on the offense. Perhaps the coach- es are to blame for that: but they are nof to blame for the eleven's very evi- dent lack of aggressiveness. Yale didn't | play Saturds at any stage of the game ag if it cared whether it won or not. For a championship game its work wag positively listless, It lack- ed punch and the good old Yale fight- ing spirit. The work of the ends go- ing down under punts was poor, and the work of the backfield in protecting Kempton's catching punts was wretched. Princeton deserved its because it had a better cleven than vale: but simply because it fought harder for all it got. Princeton acted as if it really wanted to win: Yale did nol. Yale will have the opportunity ' next Saturday by beating Harvard de- cisively to retrieve itself in public es- timation. We believe the eleven capable of staging a great come back We have waited all season to see it | rise to real Yale fighting form. -It| victory, not Get Mother sentials—the FLOWER=- ter position to do this year than for many years past.
