Big Three Rivals Meet with Even Records and Statistics

Tomorrow's Harvard-Princeton clash will see the meeting of two statistically even teams, although the Tigers have a slight edge in most departments.

Both teams enter the game with a record of two wins and three losses. Both have two games after Sunday and need this victory for a chance at a better than 500 average.

Yardage gaining statistics give Princeton a slight edge. With 293 plays, the Tigers have gained 1441 yards, an average of 4.9 yards. Harvard's 295 plays netted 1268 yards, an average of 4.3

Gannon will be the leading ground gainer on the field with 346 yards rushing to his credit. Lelbert of Princeton leads in total offense with 228 yards rushing and 168 passing.

Harvard's average gain on the ground is 4.2 yards as opposed to Princeton's 4.7.

Princeton's aerial attack has had more success than the Crimson's gaining 405 yards to Harvard's 294. Princeton averaged 5.8 yards per pass play to Harvard's 4.6. Harvard, however, worked four passes for touchdown while Princeton managed only two.

Punting appears virtually even. Roche has averaged 35.5 yards to McCormick's 36.

Most of Princeton's ground has been gained by Lelbert (228 yards) and Weber (251 yards). Passing has almost been exclusively handled by Lelbert (168 yards) and Wagner (163 yards).

Returning punts gives the Crimson the edge with a 19 yard average to Princeton's 15.
