PRINCETON HAS TASK
TODEFEAT BUCKNELL
Forward Pass Fails Often, but
One Turns Into Spectacular
Touchdown.
FINAL SCORE Is 10 TO 0

PRINCETON, Oct 3-In n football game
that was undressing with the exception
of the final period Princeton won from
Bucknell this afternoon by score OF 10
TO 0. Bucknell put up high class foot
ball. varying the attack well and being
about equal In all departments. Prince
ton did not play with the same life and
snap that has characterized the work be-
fore this season. and the only semblance
OF real attack came In the final quarter.
when in three plays the Tigers carried
the leather over for a touchdown from the
40 yard line.
Prlnceton's open game tactics did not
meet with the same success to-day rs
last week. She tried fifteen forward
passes. but only completed three. while
two were intercepted. Tho passes were
accurate. but the receivers fingers must
have been covered with butter for they
could not hold the ball. Bucknen did
not use the forward pass until the last
few minutes, when she uncorked nine OF
them in rapid fire, four meeting with
success. The fifth one fell in the neutral
zone behind the Tiger goal and gave
Princeton the ball. The Tigers intro
duced rugby passing to-day and it worked
three on; OF four times, resulting in sub
stantial gains In two instances.

catching Of the punts was good, while
Click, Tibbott and Eberstadt did some
clever returning of them.
