over the Princeton Tiger this afternoon.

foot of the Massachusetts boy shunted
a watersoaked bali between the Prince

so far as the result was concerned.
PIastered With Mud.
PIastred with mud from shoe cleats
TO headgear and dimly visible to the
5000 Ospectators through furry Of
rain. Briczley suggested nothing so
much as a picture of a primitive cave
man when he dropped back behind his
dripping line in the second period
a kick by Law of the Tigers, had
been blocked at Princeton's 25 yard line
and Gilmore had recovered the slippery
bail by a mad plunge through the muck
OF the soaked field. Then a couple of
smashing plays against the Tiger line
edged the ball to close range for the
Orange and Black posts and the great
booter Of the Crimson stepped back
ward a few naces. shaking big gobs of
mud from his shoes by kicking his legs
viciously al the air.
Rain SOaks Players.
It had been raining Internationally
throughout the game, but at the mo-
boot the swirling clouds above the
field suddenly shed a wild gust Of
water and the spectators were so busy
trying TO shield themselves that they
hardly realized the import of the play

But the story is not so much the
prowess Of Brickley- or Mahan or Brad

Tigers outsiders in the betting and not
conceded the ghost Of a show by the
experts. It appeared to be their theory
that the best defence is a strong attack
and so they did not wait for John Har-

retard her slippery hold on the victory
with apprehension but As yards on a wet
field is too far for even a BrickIey.
