LAST SCR|MMAGE
FOR PRINCETON

Before thousand undergraduates the
Tigers had their last scrimmage at
Princeton yesterday afternoon prior to
the Cornell game on Saturday. The scrim-
mage was even longer and harder than
Wednesday. Eight coaches were out In
togs and worked about as much as the
players did. In two long halves the var
sty scored two touchdowns after steadily
rushing the ball Eddie Dillon made the
first on a trick formation, and Moore In
the second half broke through the line
for the other. II was as interesting TO
watch the scrub pitted against the var
sity as 10 see the regular game, because
both elevens fought like the tigers that
they are for every inch OF ground.
But by far the best news that has been
given out in Princeton athletics came yes
terday. Rulon Miller doffed his tcgs few
weeks ago when his parents forbade him
TO play. This week he received permission
and has been practicing with the squad.
Yesterday he got in the scrub lineup and
revealed his magnificent old-time form.
When Duab. Mccormick and Rulon Miller
lined up in the backfield one was instant
ly struck with their power. All three are
mighty on the defence and their attack is
smashing.
Betting was slow here yesterday though
there are many hunks of long green wait
ing 10 be turned Orange and Black. The
odds are now 10 with plenty of Nassau
