Holy Cross to-day and ran up o. points,
while keeping their opponents out OF
sight of their goal.
The game was triumph for the new
machinery set in motion only since the
defeat by Dartmouth, but IT was only
partial triumph, for, with no resistance
that deserved the name, the Tigers eX-
hiblted many of the little faults that
might prove the turning point Of harder
game.
A complete schedule OF open work that
might have been factor TO be consid-
cred last week was opened up to-day
and carried Holy Cross off their feet be-
fore they could realize It, The predomi-
nance Of successful passing and the
sweeping end runs that characterized
Princetons playing last year rather IN
dictate that the coaches have swung
away from the straight. conservative
football of the earlier games this season
Pure line plunging had very little chahce
10 feature against Holy Cross, although
STREET. and +. Trenkmann, who supsu-
tuted for him late in the game, were
called upon, and responded quite as sue
cessfully I'm their way as Captain Baker
and Law did in the other style of work
and II looked as If both styles were sood
TO offer up against real resistance.
Click ran the team well from Stew
Bakers place at quarterback. Where the
change in the lineup proved its value
however was in making room for Law III
the backfeld while at the same time re-
tanning Click, who is undoubtedly pet
ter ground gamer than stew Baker
Law did all the punting, and handled II
in good style, averaging slightly more
than forty yards and getting the ball
away in good time, with almost perfeS
direction and height Aside from this. he
would earn his position through his skill
both on the sending and receiving end OF
forward passes. although as a rusher ne
can hardly be counted in the reckoning
The spectacular feature of the game
came in the second period, when H.
Trenkmann the big centre, intercepted
forward pass by hauling II down with
one hand, and then proceeded to galIop
sixty yards down the field for a touch
down, with Holy Cross men trailing on
behind other plays that might nave
been spectacular in any other game were
brought on in the course of seven success
full forward passes that Melted about l4o
wards for the Tigers. and in HOBBY
Bakers sensational work in running back
kicks. A field goal by Baker from place
ment on the 4s-yard line on fair chance
was worked with absolute accuracy.
Princeton did not play faultless game
by long shot, for no fewer than eleven
penalties totalling a fine OF ninety-nVe
yards. for illegal plays marred the WORK.
Carelessness in blocking and one or two
instances of loose tackling cropped out
but were not brought TO the front be-
cause Of the helplessness of the opposing
team. Two fumbles on consecutive plays
within the shadow of the goalposts lost
the ball on the goal line on what ought TO
have been the second touchdown, but III
stead was converted into safety when
O'Brien was downed back OF the line
while trying to punt on bad pass HAM
mond did exceptional work when II was
needed but he gave one or two instances
of slowing down by failing to box his
opposing end or by missing his tackle.
The presence Of three new men In the
line and a fourth for while. AFTER
Stew" Baker had replaced Shea at end
may have had something to do with the
all too numerous offside plays, but they
were due largely to the anxiety OF all the
men to make good Phillips did not go
back TO his tackle position. Keene F1tz-
patrick allowing him to take no risks
whatever. Larsen played in his place.
while Semmens, who played the same po-
sition last week, went to guard with W.
Swart at the other end. They were strong
and aggressive on the offence, opening
large holes.
Captain Bakers kicking was perfect
both on his one attempt for a field goal
and On his goals from touchdown. The
last mentioned were from nearly every
angle, but no one failed TO sail squarely
between the uprights.
The first score came early in the game
after Holy Cross had been forced to re-
turn on a punt, and Law, STREET and
HOBBY Baker had run It without pause
to the seventeen-yard line. from which
place STREET. carried it over in two plays.
Princeton again carried the ball straight
up to the goal line but first HOBBY Bak-
er fumbled on the thrce-yard line and re-
covered it, and then STREET. lost 1t on
similar tumble on the very edge of the
chalk line and did not have the good
fortune to recover.
The next play made It a safety, when E.
1'renkmann downed O'Brien after he had
failed TO get of a punt because OF bad
pass The second period brought two
more touchdowns. the first by Z. Trenk-
mann, when ne intercepted a forward
pass and ran sixty yards for a score, and
the next by STREET. after a pass, Hcbey
Baker to Law. had gained thirty-two
wards and STREET. had put the ball on the
Vineyard mark
Two long runs by Law and HOBBY
Baker served materially in putting Baker
over for a touchdown early in the third
period. A 2O-yard run by STREET. and a
pass from Law to Baker good for thirty
yards enabled Law 10 push over for the
next score. Three forward passes netting
o. I6 and "a yards in close succession
rave STREET. an opportunity to finish 1t on
line buck and cross the line.
