IfnSttOh' y. j., Oct. 10 me,
Princeton Tigers ran rampant on Uni:
versity Field this afternoon and had
no difficulty in taking Lafayette into
camp by the score Of 30 to 3.
The Princeton team scored almost
at will. ana made a total Of six touch
downs and iour goals from touchdown.
Eddy. appearing for the first time this
season. played a star game at halfoack.
and made Princeton's first touchdown
after the Tigers had marched seventy
i've yards for six first downs in a row.
The lone Lafayette tally came in the
last minute Of the final period. and
the Easton eleven just missed forward
passing their way to a touchdown a
few minutes before. After making
four first downs in succession on for
ward passes they landed on the
Princeton 4-yard line, but could not
penetrate the Tiger defence and lost
the ball for downs on the two-foot
line.
The game can hardly be called a test
for the Princeton team, because il 80
completely outclassed Lafayette in
every department OF the game. Rush
began running in substitutes before
the end Of the first quarter, after two
touchdowns had been made. and the
second team played most OF the second
half.
Princeton was scheduled 20 uncover
some plays to-day, but il was not nee
essary. Az the opening of the game il
received the ball from o punt on the
Zo-yard line, and went from there
seventy yards 70 touchdown on
straight line rushing. The Lafayette
line seemed as full of holes as a sieve
and every one Of the Tiger backhold
gained every time the ball was snapped.
Eddy, who has done so we'll in practice
this past week, and briggs. were the
main factors in scoring the Princeton
touchdowns.
The Tigers ran back punts for a
total Of 260 yards TO Lafayette's TWEEN.
ty-three yards. Nearly every one OF
Weldon's kicks was run back at least
fifteen yards. briggs easil utpunted
him and almost immedla, after
their tirst score, when Princeton had
the ball on the 50-yard line. Click

briggs punt on the first down. La.

ond touchdown. Shea missed the goal
and there was no more scoring in the
| first period, so il ended Is 70 0.
So far none OF Lafayettes hefalded
forward passing had been successful
and the team seemed demoralized be-
fore the fierce Tiger attack. Weldon
and Captain Luhr alone seemed 10 Civ.
Princeton trouble. The third Prince
! ton touchdown came in the early pare
of the second period on straight rush
ing, mainly by briggs and Eddy. La
( fayette punted to Ames, who ran
through the team for twenty-five yards
before he was downed on the 37-yard
line. Princeton was penalized fifteen
yards on the first play and then briggs
and Eddy began their second march to
the goal line. briggs carried the ball
over and Ames kicked goal.
In the latter part Of the second
period after they failed TO gain
through the line, Lafayette tried two
forward passes. The first one was
grounded. but Eddy caught the second
one and raced hfty-ilve yards TO the
/ fourth Princeton touchdown. Ames
missed the goal and the half closed
with the score, Princeton, 20; La
! fayette. 0.
By the end Of the thiib period there
was a complete second team in for
Princeton, and this was the only period
that was not so one-sided as to be I'M
interesting. The forward pass again
figured in the Princeton scoring. After
advancing 10 the 40-yard line on
straight football Law tossed a long
pass 20 Marion Wilson, brother of Cap
tain Aleck Wilson, of Yale, and he
reached Lafayette's 3-yard line before
he was downed. Ames squeezed through
on a quarterback play for the remain
ing 3 yards and Tailed Princeton's last
touchdown. Law kicked the goal.
Princeton had so little difficulty in
advancing that il is hard to tell how
much stronger il is than last Saturday.
In Eddy il is certain that the Tigers
have a man who will greatly help the
backfield. Tibbott. Of the mighty toe,
did not play to-day.
Princeton gained 2ls yards by rYn.
ming to Lafayette's SIS, and ran back
kicks 260 yards TO Lafayette's 20. La
fayette completed forward passes
and made first downs, S Of the latter
in the fourth period. Princeton made
10 first downs and completed only 2
forward passes while il intercepted 1.
