Tigers Look to Easy Vic.
tory Over Amherst in
Game Today.

PRINCETON, Nov. e,-That the
Tigers do not anticipate a very hard
time with Amherst this afternoon was
evident yesterday afternoon from the
grueling practise that was forced on
the regulars. 1t was the first time this
year that the regulars have been sent
into a scimmage on the eve of a game,
and yesterdays mix-up was not tenn
pered by any gentle playing.
For twenty minutes the two elevens
fought it out with only one touchdown
to the regulars credit This N
score came as the result OF two long
runs, 10th from the forward pass.
Brown, the speedy right end. carried
the leather twenty yards, n when
the team lined up again Eddie Dillon
tried to pass to the other end. wister
caught tn e oval deftly and wriggled
away from two scrub men waiting to
nail him.. Vending his way down the
field for forty yards, he ended his re-
markable run by placing the ball back
of the posts.
The practise of the last week has
been in the main an attempt to develop
the forward pass, and its effectiveness

the Philadelphia shows any signs of ex-

Coach Roper expects the game today to
be so one-sided that 1t will scarcely serve
to point out the weaknesses of the New
Jersey combination. Nevertheless, Il will
offer an opportunity to judge the merits

Rain started to fall yesterday afternoon
and the gridiron was covered with puddles
and rivers, so that the prospects are that
the game will be anything but a fast one.
