PLAYING AFIELD With Billy Evans
NE of the greatest battles ever If 1 staged between Princeton 1 and Yale. That is the proper classification of the 1927 clash between these traditional rivals.
Yale won a glorious victory in the final minutes of play. The final score was 14-6 and it fails dismally to tell the story of the tense struggle for supremacy waged between Old Eli and the Tiger. One must go to the superlatives in an effort to do

Justice to the game and the teams. I have seen at least fifteen meetings between Princeton and Yale, but never got quite the thrill out of any of them as the 1927 meeting. “Two great teams in an extraordinary game,’’ best tells the story. They struck me as being just the two best teams I have seen in action this year. tt tt tt Yale won a glorious victory, but in so doing I am not quite so sure they impressed the 80,000 that they were as much better than Princeton as the score would lead one to believe. tt tt tt TIGERS BEST AT FIRST EOR fifty minutes of the game, Princeton outplayed Yale. The margin was slight, perhaps just about what the score showed, 6-0. In the last ten minutes of the game Yale had the edge. One desperate play changed the entire complexion of the game, started Yale to victory and Princeton to defeat. The game was a battle of two great lines. Yale was conceded to have the stronger line by most.“experts,” yet for fifty minutes the Tiger forwards made jest of expert opinion. Twice Yale was within the tenyard line with four downs to put over the touchdown. Yet, on each occasion Princeton rose to great heights and held for downs. u st a— \ BREAK DECIDED GAME NE big break decided the Yale- Princeton game, a long forward pass that succeeded and resulted in a touchdown. Yale deserved that break because ,- she made it by taking a desperate yet logical chance. On a fourth down, with twelve yards to go and the ball in the middle of the field, Hoben tossed a 30-yard pass to Fishwick, who raced twenty yards for the touchdown that tied the game. At the start of the fatal pass, the Princeton secondary seemed to be centering its'attention on Scott. In the meantime, Fisliwick drifted over from his position at right end almost to the sidelines on the opposite side of the field to take Hoben’s pass unmolested and run for a touchdown.

Harrison quintet, 45 to 23, in the opening contest and the Pennsylvania five unleashed a lot of speed to bury the Diamond Chain club under a 60 to 34 count in the finale.

Looking ’Em Over WITH EDDIE ASH
A large part of the crowd at the Minnesota-Michigan game, Saturday, will be made up of enterprising undertakers looking for business. tt n tt No smart embalming expert is going to overlook a bet like that. n tt n The coroner and his staff will attend and leave their seat numbers at the box office. tt tt it If Oosterbaan of Michigan is alive after that engagement he’ll be entitled to be rated all-time all-Amer-ican end. u tt tt If he fails to escape the clutches of the Minnesota bone-crushers it may be necessary to sink a shaft to bring his body'to the surface. it tt tt The Gopher Giants have decided they won the Notre Dame-Army game for the Army. They have a reputation for leaving opponents dazed for two weeks. tt tt tt Fifteen special trains will carry Minnesota rooters to Saturday’s game. Sounds unlikely, but it’s a fact. Looks like they expect a killing. tt a tt There won’t be enough crepe in Ann Arbor to drape that many trains if the Gophers are upset. tt tt tt The quadruple threat gridder who could run, pass, kick or fumble has nothing on the Gophers who run, pass, kick and slay. tt tt it Major League Club owners will meet in New York next month to consider rule changes designed to eliminate “embarassing problems.” Evidently the Phillies and Red Sox have been under discussion. tt tt tt A1 Masters, Dartmouth gridder, has gained a mile of ground during this season.

Purdue Team in Shape for Indiana Tilt Boilermakers Confident as Training Grind Ends; Crimson Determine^. By Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 17.—Confidence unabated, the Purdue University football squad today prepared to wind up its training process for the annual rivalry clash with Indiana at Bloomington Saturday. Coach Phelan’s squad appears to be in the best of shape and the Boilermakers have been going through practice sessions this week with a snap and precision that denotes excellent condition of mind and body. Phelan has been handing his varsity backfield quartet some strenuous work and for the four-way combination of speed and power, Bob Wilson, Captain Wilcox, Ralph Welch and Dutch Koransky, should be in tip-top form against the Crimson. Some of the varsity understudies to the four regular backs have been making gallant attempts to show their ability and it almost is a certainty that Harmeson, Miller, Guthrie, Leichtle and Caraway will see action in some part of Saturday’s fray. Prentice, Hook, Olson, Eickhian and Galletch have been showing up well in the center of the line while Hutton and Sindelar have been going good at the wing posts. PAGEMEN DETERMINED Crimson Squad Works With Speed Against Boiermaker Plays.
