nents Bite the Dust.
In hard-fought game, free from
unnecessary roughness and featured
at times by some sensational football,
Princeton met and defeated her old |
football rivals on the gridiron last
Saturday, the score being to 0.
Although the weather was far from
ideal for football, the air being MUIR
ky, heavy and hard for the strug-
Cling athletes to breathe, still the
teams fought it out stubbornly and
defiantly throughout the full As min
utes of play and neither side was able
to keep possession of the ball long
enough and to gain consistently
enough to score q touchdown on their
opponents by straight football. The
last few minutes of play of the first
quarter-Milaca had lost the ball to
Princeton on downs on Milaca's 35-
yard line. In two attempts Princeton
ldllou W gam duu Cullo OONA was
called with or 10 yards to 60. The
Princeton team formed into a punting
formation but, instead Of kicking the
ball, Pohl passed it far out to Full
wiler, who had raced down the side
line towards Milaca's goal line when
the ball was snapped. The pass went
true and Fullwiler carried the ball
over the goal line for the only touch
down Of the game. Princeton failed
to convert the touchdown into a goal,
so the score remained 5 to 0. This
score seemed to drive the crimson and
white players on to greater efforts
and in the second quarter they played
their best offensive game. Taking
the ball from their own 40-yard line
they started procession for the
Princeton goal. McGilvra started
the parade with gain Of about sc
yards around Princeton's right flank.
West went through the line for another
10 yards and, by neatly executed
forward pass to their left end, Milaca
placed the ball on Princeton's l5-yard
line for the first down. A line buck
put the ball 2yards nearer the Prince.

rooters we're yelling wildly for g

scoring had gone glimmering.
The second half started out with
both teams playing hard and fast
but the pace soon began to tell OF
the players of both sides, and tn
game in the last half of the THIRD
quarter and throughout the fourth
quarter simmered down to a puntin&
duel each team being forced to kicl
repeatedly owing to their inability tt
gain the necessary 10 yards in thre
downs. Princeton showed one NOR
burst Of speed in the last few minute
of play, when they recovered a pun
on Milaca's l0-yard line. The Milac;
defense frightened stubbornly AM
third down was called with no gail
