...Haven this afternoon in the thirty-sixth game between the two universities and the second most important football battle of the year. The fact that Yale is slightly the favorite means little, for Princeton is first and last a fighting team and under the strain of a championship game is likely to do the unexpected. In the Harvard game Princeton showed itself perhaps the best defensive team in the East, and so far this season Yale has uncovered no attack sufficiently powerful to gain through such a defence. Princeton, as well, has been weak offensively, as was proved...

Today's game, more than any yet played, must prove that this confidence is justifiable...
