PRINCETON, N. j., Nov. 4.-Ihe
Tigers did their snake dance through
Jungletown again today, and Poe was
moved a little further back from his
niche in the hall of fame, that Sam
White might occupy the most treas
ured place in Princeton's hero hall.
The unexpected, which always hap.

game in fifteen years between these
old-time foes, resulted in Tiger vic

So Princeton rejoices tonight as it
never rejoiced before, and Sam White.
who yesterday was pitied becauge of
his showing up he was due to re-

derful ends, tonight was hero.
For it was White and his So yard
run through Harvard's team that
snatched victory from defeat and left
unbroken Princeton's record of not
having lost a football game to Har-
ward for quarter of century
Harvard Ends Reverse Form.
There never was more startling
reversal of form than was shown in
today's game. The Harvard ends,
supposed to be the fastest runners
and best tacklers on the gridiron to-.
day were showed under by the Prince
ton TANKS, while the Tiger outrunners,
supposedly outclassed, made their way
down the field at will And Harvard S
supposedly impregnable line had all it
could do to hold it's own against the
Princeton squad. In spite of it's
sensational plays it was listless, in
differently played game, characterize
ed by none Of the great football that
was expected from Harvard, and 1T
tie of the wonderful individual in
itiative that was expected from Prince
ton.
Il More than 10000 persons saw the
game, yet there was an absence of
wild roofing that usually is manifested
in so important struggle. Prince
ton, admittedly afraid, rooted little
during the progress of the game, for
fear the tables would be turned upon
them, while Hazards cohorts were
too stunned for vocal demonstrations

The greatest excitement that was
occasioned during the game, came in
the first half when Oscar Brindley, in
biplane came flashing across the
field, with Jimmy Hare, his pas
senger.
A few minutes after, big passen-

air than the Harvard team, came
floating across the field, but did not
pause.
1t was only after the game, when
the Tiger cohorts began to realize that
their eleven had actually won, that
the pandemonium broke loose, and

When Harvard threatened the Tig-
ers goal, and defeat stared them in
the face. White made himself hero
of the Poe type. The crimson had

line The Tiger cheerers were sill

line. that Wanted line, failed to
open up the holes through which the
much heralded Wendell was expected
to make his way for touchdown and
Harvard was forced to try for goal
from the field. Fifteen yards and a
splendid position assured them at
least of three points, and the Harvard
rooters rose for a cheer when Hold

Laurel Wreath to White.
The ball came back like shot--but
with it came Dunlap and White, for
John Harvard's line was opened up
like sieve. Holdster poised and then
sent his kick away like a flash,
for the goal But Dunlap was
in the way. He knocked the ball down
and backward and there's where
Sammy White won his laurel wreath.
Like flash he was on the ball and
headed for the Harvard goal line--a
miles away, it seemed to
Tiger fans. Saltwater and Dick Wells
and Nancy Hanks, all rolled into one
ball of streak lightning, couldn't have
caught the flying White. The field
was opened before him--no crimson
