  YALE IS FAVORED T0BEAT PRINCETON Blue Looks the Best to Those Who Follow the Game New Haven. Nov. iG.-Yale will send lighting. confident clever against the snapping frslSy Tiger ir the Palmer Stadium at Princeton Sat. urday afternoon. The Ellis, players and coaches alike. believe that the 1921 Blue victory will be repeated snd have already admitted to them selves that they have the edge on Roper’s eleven in every department of the game. Critics Think So Too It is not the Yale players and coaches alone who think that the Blue will win. Football men who watched the Crimson battle with the Orange and Black in the Cambridge Stadium carried away the idea that Yale. playing with the spirit and form displayed against Brown. will defeat both Princeton and Harvard in the next two weeks. The Ellis have wonderful football material. On every side, except in the New Haven Bowl. it is admitted that the material with which Tad Jones is working is better than that with which Roper and Bob Fisher have struggled. This material in the early games of the season. did not get the results the undergrads and the alumni ex- pected. At once the cry of ‘‘obsolete methods” was raised and Tad Jones became target for hostile criticism. Whether or not this criticism chang Al A~s e. Yale showed marked improvement in it’s West Point game over what was revealed in the Iowa struggle. And then against the Brown warriors, thought to be one of the best minor college teams in the east, Yale ex- pleded running attack which sur prised the football world The old style football was dis carded. The Ellis showed an over- head game fully as advanced as that of any of the other big college elevens Close formations were dis carded and the Ellis, with their team showing it can and will play ad-l vanced football. won in decisive style. Following this revelation of it’s ability the Yale squad. with prac- tically all second and third string men, throwing forward passes from many formations and running open plays, slaughtered Maryland 45–⁠3. This team held Penn to 1o points and Penn trimmed the great Navy and is regarded as one of the strong eastern elevens. Has Good Defense. What Yale has got is tight de- fense. Iowa broke through for single touchdown and so did West Point Maryland scored on a goal from the field. In all 16 points have been scored on the Ellis in eight games. Only the Big Red team of Cornell and the bustling elev- en of future generals at West Point show q better defensive record, each having allowed but 13 points. Compare this record with that of Princeton and also with that of Har- yard. Centre and Princeton have each crashed through the Crimson for 10 points and Dartmouth nicked the Harvard record for a trio of points with placement kick, totaling ,23 Princeton has 34 points on the wrong side of its record. Harvard got three, ewarthmore 13 and Chicago IS. But records mean nothing to the fighting Tigers. The 1922 Ropermen have been able to rise to every call and meet every emergency. Short enders in Both the Harvard and Chi cago contests the Jungle Tribe has really risen to great footbalL heights and made gridiron history by defeat ing both these teams, thought to be its superiors. There is no question about the eff feet of these victories. They have filled the Tigers with confidence in ! their ability to meet every situation. They have made Roper’s team believe 1t is the best in the Big Three. They will spur the eleven on to even great CT deeds and the Ellis will be on the short end of the psychological end of | the game.
