Princeton Shows Great Form
Against the Scrub Car
terets Practice Notes.

Princeton varsity lined up against q
strong scrub for two twenty minute
halves yesterday. The scrub" was
strengthened by Ayres, Young and Hodg-
man, who backed up the line during the
first half in such superb manner that
the Varsity failed to score.
The formations that the Varsity ran
through were worked most effectively.
The Interference around the ends worked
In good style, SO that the backs and
tackles made long gains. Hillebrand
swung around the ends and cleared long
distances before he was brought down.
The play was several PAGES faster than
generally seen.
On the first kickoff Ayres lined the ball
to the 'varsity's 15-yard line. McCord and
Reiter gave good exhibition then of
hard line hitting, and in a few rushes
brought the ball to the 4O-yard line.

the ball to change The scrub was
forced to kick for outside of a few fair
gains by G. Lathrop and Og1esby, the
scrub backs, there was no ground
covered by the second team, except on
the running back of punts by Charlie
Young, who gave another great exhibi-
ton in broken field. He eluded Poe
and several other Varsity tackles, and
once covered thirty-five yards by bril-
liant spirit. Maths showed his ability
this afternoon as a strong kicker against
the wind. The Varsity would have
scored In the first half only for holding
on the scrub" S-yard line
In the second half McCord and Reiter
tore great gaps in every point of the line.
The backs and Wheeler and Hiilebrand
rushed the ball in rapid style Tor long
gains, breaking through for six and ten
yards at almost every try. The ball was
finally carried over for touchdown by
McCord on mass on the ''scrubs' left
tackle Mills kicked goal.
Leviek took Mccord's place, and he
and Reiter took the ball to the center of
the field by circling the ends and smash
ing the tackles Hiliebrand then made a
25-yard run around left end Holding
again lost the ball, and after an ex-
change of punts. Young made a fine dash
of IS yards. The Varsity here showed
its staying powers. and after Edwards
secured the ball on a tumble, the Var
sity backs swept down the field on one
of the hardest and fastest clips of the
season. Reiter was finally showed over
on charge from the 9-yard line for
second touchdown.
Appearances indicate that a good team
win face Brown. The playing of the
eleven yesterday has elevated hopes sew
eral notches higher that Princeton will
score TWO teuchdowns against the Provi-
dence collegians.
Two new formations were tried with
telling effect Turtle-baek and end-back
plays were added to the list of formations,
and with them the Varsity tore great
holes in the scrubs line.
