TIGERS FIND SOFT SPOT
Meet No Opposition in Running
Up Score on Virginia P. !.
NO REAL TEST FOR NASSAU
Backfield, However, Flashes
with Marvellous Speed and
Tallies Almost at Will.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Princeton, ~ j., Oct. 12.-ln loosely
played football game Princeton over
whemed Virginia Polytechnic here to-day
by the score Of 81 to 0. Pendleton, Baker
and Waller were marvels of speed In the
backfield, but the Tiger team as whole
lacked the necessary punch. Virginia's
defence was so weak that Princeton's at
tack received no real test. Little grouno
was gained through the line, owing 10
frequent fumbles.
All four of the Tiger touchdowns came
after long runs by Baker and Pendleton
Princeton had no success with the Tor
ward pass. every attempt resulting In
failure. Virginia tried the pass five times
scoring one success. Legge, who did the
kicking for the visitors played fast.
brilliant game at halfback. Two weak at
tempts with the drop kick were the only
bids that Virginia made for a score.
Legge kicked off TO Waller at 3 o'clock,
and the big halfback raced fifteen yards
before ne was downed Pendleton and
Waller carried the ball down the field In
four successive end runs, the Tiger cap
tain registering the first tally In less than
three minutes of play.
1t was not until late in the first quar-
ter, after De Witt had>scored Princeton's
second tally, that Virginia got possession
of the ball. The backs lined up In q
peculiar fake kick formation. two men d.
rectly in front OF two others. All four
held out their arms as II to receive the
kick, but Logan and Andrews sized UP
the play and smashed through before y
got under way. Virginia was forced to
kick, and on the next play Baker gave the
ball to Pendleton. who reeled off forty
yards before he was stopped. De Wits
tumble lost the ball for the Tigers
In the second quarter Legge tried two
drop kicks, the first from the oO-yard line
and the second from the 42-yard mark
Both kicks were hurried and went wide
Of the posts. A few minutes later Pendle-
ton scored Princeton's third tally on a
long end run
The feature of the second half was
beautiful field goal by "Hoby" Baker from
the 37-yard line. Virginias ends were
powerless to stop the Tiger halfback. who
next got loose for a sixty-yard race for
Prnceton's final score. Little can be said
