Der WAX up. laie! Harvard
has a team which will take a lot
OF beating right now and should
lie even better by November 2I.

the lusty, powerful Ballin found
that lie could not stop him, even
when he had a good hold short of
his length.
Francke also hit hard, but
lacked some of Bradlee's power to
take additional distance when
stopped or to break clean away
from a tackler who had him we'll
within his arms. Mahan, OF
course, is. faster than the other
two, but even he showed that he
can come in between guard and
kick 5 or g yards when
they thought he was merely an
end runner. Mahans punts, with
the exception of one or two, were
too short and high in the early
part of the game.
Harvard showed clearly the result OF
the experience gained in the last three
games. and the line lifted almost as one
man. AS usual Harvard's best ground
gamer was a glancing run off tackle.

was carried out
The opening was a big one. and even
though Ballin shot in well at times he
was so turned to the gunner that even
after he tackled the Harvard back would
get his length.
Tigers Caught Mapping.
Another play that caught Princeton
mapping almost invariably was the dou-
be pass, the play then coming out
around the end: that and Bradlee's
clever one. in which he received the bal

The one that stood out above all in the
Princeton defense was Capt. Ballin, anC
throughout the game he did the work OF

His long powerful body would be found
at the bottom of almost every heaI
when the Harvard man was stopped, and
wherever his mass of has' stood up ir
the rush line for Princeton it made Z
dangerous range for about six yards
where Harvard could not force play.
For time his comrades i'll the lin,
supported him we'll, but by the middl,
OF the first period even it was eviden
that the ferocity of the charge wa
growing less and they We're wearing
themselves out against the stead,

Muff Gave Tigers Chance.
Law of Princeton, as soon as he wa
put in, made a nice run and seemed t,
get into his stride more quickly thai
any other of the Princeton backs
Princeton had the earliest chance ow
ing to a Harvard muf. but they had NJ
| attack that could make it's impression
against the Harvard line, and when Of
| one occasion they did get a man wei
through, the ball shot out of his hand
at the moment that he was tackled
To tell the truth. there was an afro
cious. amount of fumbIing done by botl
sides. The ball slipped away from then
as il 1t were creased, but Princeton OF
the occasions when this would furnis
ap opportunity. seemed d TO have nothin,
In the line of attack with which to tax
advantage of its opportunity.
Before the game was half over il wa
evident that unless Princeton had
passing game of some kind with whic
to throw Harvard into disorder, it ha
no chance. Harvard's kicking afte
Mahan got going was just good a
Princeton's, and the Harvard ends GOV
cred the kicks quite as well, and be
hind it Harvard had consist en-
ground gaining attack that was goo
1or consecutive gains, with every no'
and then an end run thrown in when
was necessary.
Even by the end of the period
began to look like a rout. Even whe
Princeton had the ball, her partisan
felt they had nothing to offer tha

line. and II was remarkable that TIL
Harvard backfeld had almost no wor
