PRINCETON. Oct. 3.-Today. for the
first time in their history. Princeton and
Georgetown met on the football field. and
the Tigers won by score of 5 to Q.
These figures. however, do not show the
relative playing of the two teams.
The Washingtonians had the ball In
Princeton's territory during the greater
part of the first half, and came within
half a yard of scoring on the team which
Walter Camp considers the most likely
of the big four. Toward the close OF
the second half the Georgetown line
gave way before the plunges Of the big
Princeton backfeld, and Dewitt scored.
Both teams played remarkably fast
football for so early in the season.
Princeton had an advantage in weight.
but the Blue and Gray men charged
quicker. and by getting the jump on
their opponents were able to open large
holes in the much Wanted line of the
Tigers. The Washington team had
learned the game well. played low in the
line. and tackled with ferceness, often
throwing their heavier opponents for
losses. The visitors sacrificed much ad-
vantage by playing orfside. and the pen
alties for this offense helped the home
team considerably in making the one
touchdown. The Georgetown team was
aggressive at ell times. working we'll
together.
Hub" Hart, the captain, and Joe
Reilly carried of the honors for the Blue
and Gray. Hart made good gains
through Dewitt and worked well on the
defense Reilly got around left end
several times for substantial runs. Al
the beginning of the game he tore past
Tooker for twenty-five yards, which was
an incentive for much rejoicing among
the small crowd of Georgetown ad-
herents
For Princeton Dewitt did the best
playing. Martell received the kick-od
on the 10-yard line and advanced the
ball twelve yards. Reilly started around
left end on trick, and had a clear field
but the ball was fumbled. From Their,
