Yale-Princeton Game at New Haven

Yale and Princeton will meet in their annual football game at New Haven today. A test of the strength of the teams cannot be drawn from the comparative scores as no one team has played both universities. Yale has undoubtedly had the easier schedule, but has done justice to it by winning the seven games on the schedule with comparative ease and not being scored on once. Wesleyan and Holy Cross succeeded in holding Yale down to the lowest scores, being beaten 11 to 0 and 12 to 0 respectively. Princeton, out of eight games, has lost to Lafayette, tied Dartmouth, and, though she defeated the other six teams, was scored on by three of them.

The Princeton coaches have been very careful of their team, taking men out immediately when they showed signs of being injured in the least, and they expect to put their best possible team on the field today. In the Dartmouth game they showed latent strength, evidently testing new plays, Siegling and Waller, who will oppose Lilley and Goebel today, breaking up play after play. With few exceptions both lines are composed of veterans. Yale has decided superiority in ends and backs, of which the latter are not exceeded on any college team. Vaughan, Yale's right end, has shown great ability at handling the forward pass, and Coy's long kicks will also be a factor. Princeton's quarterback, Bergin, has improved a great deal, and Hart at halfback will show up well.

The teams will line up as follows: YALE.  PRINCETON. Kilpatrick, l.e.  r.e., Welch Hobbs, l.t.  r.t., McCrohan Andrus, l.g.  r.g., McCormick Cooney, c.  c., Bamman Goebel, r.g.  l.g., Waller Lilley, r.t.  l.t., Siegling Vaughan, r.e.  l.e., Bellin Howe, q.b.  q.b., Bergin Francis, l.h.b.  r.h.b., Read Daly, r.h.b.  l.h.b., Hart Coy, f.b.  f.b., Cunningham
