Port the first time since 1924. Yale | looks capable of defeating Princeton l decisively and yet s ) desperately do these young men in blue and orange and black fling themselves into these 'annual battles that all tea.tonablo bets ate made at even money. | Many a time the underdog whether it was the Bulldog or the Tiger—fought through to unexpected victo;' in Yale-Princeton football games of the past. That is what makes lamorrow's contest at New Haven worth ! watching, even if you have no partisan : feelings in the matter. “Tad'' Jones has built a great team I :.t Yale this year. Bill Roper always builds dangerous ones at Princeton. Tho last time the Tiger came to Yale Howl, it went away licking its chops and picking its teeth with splinlets front the Eli goal posts. That was Jake Slagle', great yea), when the "l iving Dutchman” and his mates : swep! back and forth across the grid- ' inn. stewing Yale tacklers behind them. Last year, at Palmer Stadium. Yale

Clever Comedy Offered By The Wright Players The Critics of the . Fort Wayne Nc-ws-Sentinn! wrote as follows of 'So This Is London". The Wright 1 layers Production for the week ending Saturday, Nov.. 12th. There is more than a hint of the . burlesque in “So This Is 1/mdon," i remedy of th Wright Players at the ' Majestic theatre this week. To appreciate "So This Is London." j with its clever lines and situations! mt its unique plot building, you must' ee it. The first and second acts are surprisingly alike, although they are alio refreshingly different. Both build o the third act. “So This. Is London” may lack a rifle in plot, but in handles an American and an English family, with their national prejudices and traits, in exr client style. Naturally, it burlesques i nn what on both nations, but in so •lever a manner that litizens of either •annot take off use and can only I ■njoy the comedy. Little Betty Kent unties into her >wu in this offering. Site has been | tubbed “Fort Wayne's sweetheart" of several weeks but in “So This Is | ~6ndon' she has he first real op>oitunity for dianuvtic ami comedy vork. Her porttayql of the English girl, mgageu to the Am rican boy, is pleast.g and her personality gels aero. ~ he footlights. The Next Attraction On Sunday night, Nov. 13th, the .’.'right Players will undertake a dra-

math interpretation of Eleanor Por aei’s famous story 'Pollyanna." i There st ms to be a certain spirit of hapi-im ss in the theme of “Polly- ] anna’ which few can resist. Its ; message of gladness as typified in : little “Pollyanna" herself is one that ; can scarcely fail to have its effect I i upon the hearts and minds of the j audience. Tue play is not particular? drama- ' tie but possesses an absorbing inter- j cat which holds the audience to the I final curtain, it is just an intensely human play, that is ail a mixture of humor and pathos, of gladness and of :,ortow, typical of life itself. And its story tells of the little orphan, "Pollyanna”’ whose habit it is to make everybody glad. 267-lt. adv.

• I'alel II little better, but finished on ■ the short end of a 10 to 7 score. That t was tlie game in which the Build g displayed a new and disastrous -of backward pas.;, which went from i the center to no one at till, the ball • bounding about unattended until an •agi i young Princeton lad fell upon it. i l ack of alertness has cost Yale more i against Princeton than any other de- - fed. Princeton youngsters are alwa-s - alert. and have won many a ball game r t that reason. One recalls Sammy White, the Tiger end. who completely ruined :;n entire Saturday for evetyone connected with Yale by picking up a loose ball and scampering the lenght of the field for a touchdown. And there ( have been many others in the long hislory of Yale-Princeton football. The encouraging thing about this I year's Yale team is that it is alert. In seme way, Tad Jones has succeedIcd in persuading his boys not to fumble. The backs cany the ball well and handle it well. And Uh.irlesworth, the best defensive center In the East, pounces upon loose balls as though he had been attending Princeton all his life. Another thing about Yale teams of the past which frequently proved discouraging was lack of judgement on 1 the part of the various quarterbacks |
