strength of his team. lie has the foot
ball instinct" backs up the line well and
is sure tackler. He is all over the field

But Peck is not the only star on the
team. Williamson at quarter and Hast
lngs, Fry, Dehart and Miller in the back

Dave Tibbott to win a football gaY1e FOR
Princeton each week Saturday he atom

nfted drop-kick over the bar for the
only score of the game, and Syracuse
was sent home with the short END of a
s-to-0 count. After he booted the ball,
the former Germantown Academy boy
was Denched so he could be saved up
Tor the game next Saturday.
Princeton again was lucky. as the score
was the direct result OF a bad pass from
the Syracuse centre to Wilkinson, who
was back for a kick. The ball went to
princeton on the 32-yard line, and was
worked out to the middle of the field,

ponents in straight football. After the
showing made by w. and j. in the first two
