 football sharps that Princeton has l won more than one glorious footbal victory through some spectacular lons run by some individual player. Whites 1 name goes up side by side with those of Lamar, Suter and Arthur Poe.

Then Herman Suter made famous run in a game against Harvard al l Princeon on November 2, 1895.

 Lamar's Run the First. In his book, Parke H. Davis tells the story of Lamar's run:
 "Only ten minutes are left to play Yale starts a steady but slow advance towards Princeton's goal. Peters, the Yale captain, calls for a. kick. The bah is passed to Watkinson. who sends a long, high punt down the field. The ball strikes the ground and bounds to- ward the side line. Lamar seizes it on the bound and with a peculiar lopfng but swift motion, darts between Cor win and Wallace. Turning sharply, he runs along the southern line Bull and Beecher mass to tackle or force him out of bounds. With incredible swift ness he turns suddenly to the right and as Beecher leaps to tackle, dodges beneath him and thus dives into clear field. Peters, coming up swiftly, from behind, is overtaking him. AS they reach the last line Peters dives, but Lamar springs away and crosses the line for touchdown. R. M. Hodge kicks the goal"
 Lamar's touchdown did not tie the score, but only counted four points, but when Hodge kicked the goal 1t more than Yale, and it was by & score of 6 to 5 that the Orange and Black won the game.
 Suter Caught by Brewer.
 It has been incorrectly stated that Suter's long run resulted in a touch down As a matter of fact, the little stern chase by Charley Brewer, the great and speedy Harvard back, and brought to earth on the Crimson's 15 yard line; s4ter,s run came came at the mo- fo Princeton. Harvard had hammered it's way down the field until, on a quad rupie pass. Cabot, the captain and left end, took the ball almost to the Tigers

AS the Cambridge backs crashed into the Princeton line somebody blundered and the fumbled ball squirmed it's way to open ground. Suter. the Tigers quar- terback, pouned upon the leather oval and, with a start of five precious yards was off on the race toward the Har- the other players. with Langdon Lea of Princeton and Charley Brewer of in the lead. Lea tried to block Brewer off but the Crimson back elud- tween one pursuer and one pursued Beneath Suter's feet the whitewashed lines flew backward in quick success l sion, but fast as he was travelling, his enemy pulled up on him inch by inch 1 Thirty.

 Poe's Run from Goal to Goal.
