In defeating Princeton, Georgetown
brings itself up to the highest stand

team is capable of bringing itself up

disclosed SO little rough tactics.
Although seventeen goals from fouls
were made, with several missed, the
fouls were of a nature that cannot be
attributed to rough work. The first
half OF the game displayed much clever

tossed over the wire frame by Kelly of
Georgetown. This jump gave the Hill
topers heart, waldron adding one point

center then committed a foul, and
Princeton got one into the netting from

the throw. From this point on, George

not until six points were registered by
the home quint, did Princeton get
another score.
At the beginning OF the second half,
Coach Collihower's boys added seven
points to the Georgetown score, which
were followed by additional scores by
Pf1nceton. The lead of the HiIltoppers,
however, was too large for the Prince
tonians, and the score was never tied.
