Revival of Spirit Necessary if Crimson Is to Hold Tiger's Attack in Check

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

When the eight years' interim since the last Princeton game is ended at 2 o'clock this afternoon, Harvard will find itself up against the toughest proposition of the season. In fact, it's going to take a return to early season pep plus the courage that comes in a crisis for Eddie Casey's young Varsity to check what is probably the strongest outfit in the East.

Good Record

There's no doubt that Princeton is "plenty good." Any team that can build up a string of 13 consecutive victories in two years of major competition has the right to rate itself up at the top of the ladder, and the Tiger's record these past two seasons has shown that there is an abundance of hard-driving backs, in fact several complete backfields of 'em, and a heavy, potent line.

Possibilities Return?

To oppose this combination, which Fritz Crisler has knit into a superbly coordinated unit, Casey has a team that seemed to have great possibilities in its first three games but went into a most discouraging slump against Dartmouth last Saturday.

The only thing that can pull the fight today up to a fairly even level is a Crimson demonstration of a brand of offensive play far better than the weak variety shown hitherto, supplemented by a defence that is at least up to the high level set against the strong Holy Cross outfit two weeks ago.

Moseley Back

Having Freddy Moseley back to do some of his excellent passing and nimble-footed running is going to make a lot of difference to the attack. Messrs. Gundlach, Kelly, and Jackson can be counted on for continued fine performances on the defense. With such men as these, perhaps the whole team can pull together against confident Princeton and give old Nassau the surprise of her victorious young life.
