this afternoon by score Of Is TO 0.
The field goal and both touchdowns
made by the Tigers resulted from fun
Dles recovered in Lafayette's territory.
Princeton threw away many golden op-
portunities. Five times the Tigers passed
the Maroon l5-yard line only to lose a
practically certain score by intercepted
passes or by being held for downs. The
scoring punch was lacking. especially
under the genera. snip o. Boland, who
had his first trial at directing the team
under IRE. No doubt was left, however,
even in the face of all the failures and
faults. as 10 ;he essential strength o.

Once more the Princeton team failed
10 90 ANYTHING with the forward pass.
This play was worked successfully only
on one occasion. just before the second
touchdown Boland. Law and Drugs all
tried their hands at the tossing, but
only four attempts out of at least nine
teen were successful. while three were
intercepted at critical moments.
Baked in their new game. The Prince
ton men reverted TO their old method OF
ground gaining and relied on their
speedy backs to clear the ends and SIP
through off tackle. Click and +. Irenk-
mann proved reliable men. Trenkmann
pushed through for total Of % yards
and Click for 81 yards, and neither
man was caught for heavy losses. de-
spite the weakness OF the line on the
offence.
Eleven times Lafayette men caught
the Tiger runner behind his own llne
before he could get started and loss
of IS wards resulted. This lett net

Princeton lost 40 yards on four penal

Lafayette's nearest approach to a
score was on fusillade OF forward
masses by Kelly in the third quarter
which advanced the ball to PrincetOn's
25-vard line. An attempt 10 score was
made BY NaXfeld. who tried goal

Rigler nabbed one of Taylor's forward
passes on the MaroOn's 3b-yard line
and raced to the goal, with the Latay-
cite team stringing at his heels. Law
failed on the kick out from the corner.
Shenk's speed paved the way for the
last touchdown. for he outstripped all
contestants down the field under one Of
Laws punts IN the third period and
fell on the ball when Diamond fumbled
on the l5-yard line. A plucky defence
held the Tigers back until they lost the
ball on downs. Toll punted, but Ames
returned his kick to the 24-yard line
and then Law sent pass into Brown s
