Warren II.
Nassau O..
In binding snow storm, on field
saturated with snow and rain and as
slippery as ice, the famous Warren
eleven simply played horse with the
crack-a-jack Nassau team from Princeton
University yesterday afternoon, defeat-
ing them by the above score.
To say that the victory was the greatest
ever achieved by the Warren would be
telling no lie.
And to also say that the victory was a
hard earned one and won only by good
straight foot ball with the greatest kind
of team work with no fancy trimmings
would be also telling the truth.
Nassau is the strongest team Warren
ever bucked up against but they were
unable to stand the line plunges Of Brin-
ton, Smith, Bayley and Prentiss. While
on the other hand the locals line was
like stone wall and not once during the
whole game did Nassau gain the neces-
sary distance.
The system of play employed by both
teams presented a vivid contrast War

good gain.

soft spots strengthened, she kicked and
did it well, the man who caught the ball
being thrown in his tracks. This kind
of foot ball did the business.
On the other hand Nassau only had
one kind of game to play and that was
a kicking one. This she did The
bright stars that shone throughout the
snow storm were Green, BayIey, Brinton,
Smith and Prentiss, but the ones that
outshined them all were the first two
mentioned. Green's playing was phe-
nominal, and nothing like it was ever
seen here before.
On kicks he would be down the field
as soon as the ball and ALWAYS nailed the
catcher in his tracks. Once Prenti.s
kicked and the ball just touched a Mas
sau man but Pop was there and fell
on the pigskin for gain of fifty yards
Bayley was the greatest ground gamer
on the team. He was simply unstop-
able; in fact he was the only man who
could successfully run an end.
Smith and Brinton's line plunges were
fierce, Smith holding his feet remarkably
well on the slippery ground.
high and well directed. His kicking did
much toward winning the contest.
For Nassau the best work was done by
Knight, Bartlett. Montgomery, Sheffield
and Beam. The first named gave the
finest exhibition Of tacklng ever seen on
the grounds. Bartett's kicking was ex-
clever and his good worK did
a good deal in keeping the score down.
The others named broke up the inter-
ference well and often threw the runner
for loss.
Taking it all in all it was warm
game, and all who didn't attend on ac-
count of the weather made the mistake

was small, there was enthusiasm to burn
and medicine bottles galore. Therefore,
there was no necessity to bring Your oil
