TYP AT Princeton they say they
have found another Bullet"

man that can rip up an opposing line
like the old Harvard fullback.
Beginning some twelve months ago
the marvellous Charlie BriCkley reeled
off a series Of gridiron performances
Of such calber that many may have
misplaced this Wendell party, and
some may therefore arise to ask,
who was Wendell, and what did he
DO"
Just say in reply that he was about
the nearest thing TO Ted Coy. when It
came to tearing into an enemy's for
ward defense, that has happened East
since Teddy quit the game.
It's Bradley STREET..
But to get back to the alleged sec
ond Wendell The Tigers are laying
claim to man who can tear EN- UP
as effectively as could Wendell, and
what is more. when thrust into an
open field can meander down the

Yes, he is none other than Bradley

STREET has been a. Princeton almost
long enough for his attendance to ap-
pear habtual at this writing. That
is. he is now rushing along through
his third year. He aided the football
fortunes Of old Auburn last in 1910,
and entered Princeton the following
year. The one-year rule was wheeled
into action against his records, and
his chances for the Princeton team

There Is a kind of legend in the vi

Poe is famous not so much because
Of the enduring literary efforts of Ed
gar Allan as of a certain other branch
of the family. the records Of whose
athletic prowess is literally smeared
over the records Of Princeton football

Didn't Make 1t Then.
Well, B. STREET set out valiantly last
season to shoulder this burden. He
succeeded to the extent of getting
into several games, but the predomi-
nance Of evidence OverWeighed him,
and he never anchored in a safe posi-
ton as a regular.
But this year things are different.
No right of ancestral priority appears
to stand in his way, and Likewise his
performances to date would indicate
that no opposing football line has i'm
peded his progress to any material
extent He was the star of the game
last Saturday against BuckneN. scor-
ing two of the four tOuchdowns. He

game so far.
He has the heft. weighing about 175

he has plenty of experience, having
