the time and varied his play we'll that no
chance was lost for gain. if a gain pos
sbe. The Princeton line was strong from
tackle to tackle and Pishon. quick to realize this
depended TO a large extent on an open game
which. because Of the clean handling of the
ball brought about a victory
TIGERS PLAY STRAIGHT FOOTBALL.
Princeton showed signs of power, particularly
in the opening of the second half, but Dillon
depended almost entirely upon straight football,
even with defeat staring him in the face, un-
less. perchance, the Tigers have no new plays
or variations of the forward pass or on-side
kick to fall back on. Dillon, by the way, saved
himself as much as possible for the battle with
Yale by pla wing out on the end on the defence,
letting Tibbott. Dowd Reid or Cunningham
play back for punts. Tihbott handled punts
fairly well. and Cunningham, too did little fun
bling although he sadly misjudged the ball three
or four times. buckingham punted fairly we'll
all things considered. and MacFadyen, who was
at centre for the first time, filled his new posi-
ton well although his passing at times was
erratic McCrohan played a brilliant game in
the secondary line of the defence, but was wo-
fully slow in starting when called on to run with
the ball The Princeton defence, on the whole
was rea sonaby strong, but the team lacked
concerted power In attack, except for two brief
intervals.
Both teams lost much valuable ground FOR
holding and penalties were meted out thick and
fast. Neither eleven could gain ground consist
emily by rushing and for that reason Dart
mouths more varied attack counted in her
favor. The game was clean'y played and
Sharks was the only man who was injured badly
enough to be carried from the field.
STORY OF FIRST HALF.
Princeton won the toss and Captain Dillon
decided to defend the north goal with light
wind behind him. IngersoI! kicked off for Dart
month and Tibbott ran the ball back ten yards
before Rich laid him low on the 25-yard line.
Dillon then tested the Dartmouth defence, and
finding il strong called for n punt and Buck
ingham sent the ball whirling to Pishon at the
centre of the field. 1t was Dartmouths turn
then to test the Princeton defence Hawley
nIuneed through for four yards, but Marks could
not gain an inch, Ingersoll punted to Tib-
bott. who was downed in his tracks by Captain
Kennedy on his own 15-yard line, clear loss
for Princeton of ten yards on the exchange OF
punts, condition which obtained to large
extent throughout the game
After another exchange Of punts Dowd missed
a chance to earn undying fame as he recovered
on opeide kick. and well surrounded by his
looked like a sure touchdown He slipped and
fell however, and a great chance was lost Two
or three pays later Tibbott had a chance on
recovering an onslde kick, and ran thlrty-hVe
wards before he was laid low by Pishon in one
of tbe prettiest tackles Of the day. He had
stenned out of bounds, however. and the pan
went back and Buckingham punted. Then Dart
mouth made a vicious assault on the princeton
limo and. through line bucking by HaWiey ana
Marks and pretty forward pass to SchidmAer
for q gain of fifteen yards carried the naIi 10
Pripceton's fo-yard line. Here the Tigers mace q
e+and and took the ball on downs on their D.
yard line.
buckingham was forced to punt from behind
his own goal line and Ingersoll heeled the ball
on tbe 3b-yard line. but lost chance Tor 4

nero,zed ten wards for interference Failing to

2O-yard line.
ON the next play Tibbott dashed around Dart
