Yet there were times when Columbia was
hard pressed that she fought back valiantly
and showed that she had the physical nd
mental capa bilites TO play an evener and
stronger game than she did There Is no
reason for the New Workers to feel downcast

Colninbia's inability to get through the
Princeton Interference and break UP end
runs, WAS a not iceable cause Of the ball being
close TO her goal line 80 frequently. This
Princeton Interference was quickly formed
and pretty speedy. They are pretty good

one Of those swift dashes around the end
that helped the Tigers beat Yale In 1904
Reiter circled the end and before Hale threw
him he was within easy striking distance
OF a touchdown. Columbia's attack was not
as consistently msintained as Princeton's
last Saturday by long shot The line and
the backs did not work together we'll and
there was not the help extended to the runner
that Princeton displayed. Once In a while
the whole Columbia team went 70 the aid
OF the runner and then the Princeton line
had TO give way. II was Just such q streak
OF power as this that showed that better
things are possible with less tendency
toward stage fright Columbia. too, needs
to make her tackling surer and harder and
Prlnceton's work along that line was not the
best In the world Oh Saturday. The Columbia
ta'klers often failed 10 gauge their distance
correctly and oftener the men tackled fell
forward instead Of being put back The
Princeton ends were fast on kicks, but by no
means cocksure on the defence. this per

the Tigers may have in view for Yale they

There was much end running by Princeton
