  YALE TOO STRONG A FOE FOR HARVARD ELEVEN New York, Nov. 13-The smashing, plunging band of football warriors that carried the Blue standard of Yale to victory over the Princeton eleven Sat- urday in the bowl at New Haven is ranked, because of that triumph, as too strong foe for the eleven of liar yard, which the bulldog meets next Saturday in the last of the seasons Big Three clashes. Princeton has won from Harvard and lost to Yale. Should the great rushing power and speed of the Yale machine fail to carry it to triumph over liar yard next week, the situation thus created would be unique-a triple tie for the so-called Big Three champion ship. Captain Malcolm Aldrich’s kicking toe was the real factor in Yales vic tory over Princeton, for the two field goals that Aldrich lifted between the posts carried the Bulldog to it’s 13 to score Charlie oHearn, the Eli quarter back, made the Yale touchdown in the opening period.
