weather was SO warm that the playing; time
consisted OF two halves OF twenty and fifteen
minutes respectively. II was ono OF the toughest
encounters ever seen at Old Mas au, several Of

tumble mix.up between big Arsnitroug, the
Princeton guard. and Miller, the sawed.or

by nearly everybody but the officials, and as
there was a wrangle over 1t, the rival captains
agreed to withdraw the two combutants from

with great bitterness, and toward the close
there were several questionable plays which
did not bring credit to the offenders.

Trainer McMastcrs. together with many Of the
Princeton coaches. declared that the Indians
elugycd without provocation and simply lost
their heads.
Therefore it can be readily appreciated what
. hot old timc it was. In the short playing time
the Tigers demonstrated one thing, il nothing
else. The still have the material for another
wonderful team. The rush line is fully as
heavy as last year, and some of the new men
are jewels. Booth. the centre rush, who suc.
