ELIS AND TIGERS TO SCRAP IT OUT TODAY

This afternoon in the Yale Bowl, the Bulldog will meet the Tiger in the second of the "Big Three" Contests. Enraged by the defeats of two successive years the Blue faces a team that has tasted victory by conquering the University 10-3 a week ago. The result should be one of the most fiercely-fought contests that has been seen this fall.

The two elevens approach the game after entirely different preparation. Yale, following the University's plan of two years ago, arranged a schedule of games with minor college teams. On successive Saturdays, Bates, Vermont, North Caroline, and Williams were soundly trounced and while the Army proved a tough nut to crack, the New Haven eleven emerged from the conflict with the long end of a 14-7 score.

The result of this light schedule has been that Coach Jones team has reached the final games of its season without the top heavy list of injured men which has here before, been the outstanding characteristic of Yale seasons. But on the other hand, the team has never been tried out by the type of last ditch fight which brings out the utmost in an eleven. The Blue is versatile and has shown great possibilities but so far they have been untested.

On the other hand, Princeton invited gruelling contests and came up against two of the country's most powerful teams, the Navy and the University of Chicago, going down to defeat both times. These defeats undoubtedly gave the eleven a psychological advantage for the team approached the battle with the Crimson with that fighting madness which will not take reverses. The victory over the University removed the odium of the defeats but left the determination to preserve the no defeat record with Yale which has been held since atheistic relations were resumed after the war.

Coach Roper will start against the Bulldog today the same 11 men who played out the entire contest in the Palmer Stadium a week ago. For the Blue; Coach Jones is still undecided as to one position on his team. O'Hearn is the best Eli man out for quarterback, since he can carry the ball himself as well as direct the team, but he has been out with a bad attack of hay fever and it is possible that Becket will call the signals.

Princeton has one advantage in that it can afford to take all kinds of chances. Today's is its last game and it has nothing to conceal while Yale must still consider the Crimson scouts who will be sitting in the Bowl.
