LOSES TO Tigers
Dave Tibbott's Sensational
Work Paves Way for
Princeton Victory.
SHOWS CLASS AS PUNTER
Speedy" Rush's Coaching System
Comes Through in Great Shape in
First Real Test.
BY DAMON RUNYON.

Princeton. Oct B.-"Speedy'' Rush
coaching system. imported to New
Jersey from the corner lots of Cleve-
Land, had its first real trial on the big
time here this afternoon. and it was
terrific hit With young Dave Tib-
bolt. of Philadelphia, in the leading
role, enthusiastically supported by the
entire Princeton cast, the Rush pro-
duction quite overwhelmed a delega-
ton from Dartmouth. The ultimate
score was Princeton. 80; Dartmouth, Z.
This Dave Tibbott is a character
worthy OF elaboration. He booted a
couple of field goals from long range
in the first half and in the second ne
rambled through the Dartmouth crowd
some thirty-fve yards to a touch
down. He kicked goal from his own
touchdown and also from two other
tOuchdowns, so IL can be truthfully
said that Dave infested the entire
pastime.
Dave is a product of the German
town Academy In Philadelphia, but
aside from that he has many excellent
points. He is l9 years old. FIVE feet
ten inches high and weighs l72
pounds. with which he hit the Dart
mouth folks at frequent intervals to-
dag. He is a member of the class of
1917 and plays a bit OF left halfback
for Princeton.
His most spectacular play today.
and in fact one OF the most spectacu-
lar OF the day came after a few
minutes OF play in the second half.
Gerrish. the Dartmouth back. kicked
from behind his own goal and David
clutched the ball and ran thirty-fve
yards to a touchdown, shaking on
FIVE different tackles as IL they were
drops Of water. He fairly leaked
tacklers. in fact. as he bounced along
the field.
Quite some time prior TO that incident.
however, David had established himself
very comfortably in the opening para
graphs of the stories about this game. He
booted himself into attention soon after
the game started, and was never lost
sight Of again. He is apt 10 prove a not
able figure in the gridiron pastimes that
are to come.
Dartmouth had little chances against
the kickers Of the Tigers, including
briggs. The open game gave the Jersey
ties one touchdown. II was as open as
the Hudson River. too. A forward pass
that Travelled about as far as from Shan
iey's to the Aston set the ball behind
Dartmouth's goal in that particular in
stance.
In the second half one of briggs punts
which lifted across about 20 yards Of
territory hit the ground near the Dart
mouth goal then bounced up and hit
Holbrook. and rolled across the line.
where Hogg fell on IT for a touchdown.
Tibbott. of course kicked goal. Tibbott
was always around kicking something.
Great fellow is lib.
In the closing stages of the game Gle.
OF Dartmouth. caught a forward pass
from GerTish at the 25-yard line. II first
hit a Princeton man on the head and
bounced on into the hands of Gle. who
went across for a touchdown. Gerrish
kicked goal
Laws goal from placement gave
Princeton three more points just before
the game ended. The lineup:

FOR ANOTHER trial
Newly Organized Club to Play in
Favorite Game Again
Today.

Washington hurting enthusiasts will
have an opportunity of witnessing their
favorite sport when the newly-organiZed
hurting club gets in action on the Po-
tomac Park field today. The field has
been marked of. goal posts erected and

insures a dry footing.
Many followers of the old Gaelic sport
are expected to participate, as even those
who are not at present members of the
club will be cordially welcomed It Is
hoped to add greatly to the membership
in the near future. as there is to be no
limit set for the organization
Mr.. Mccarthy, the expert hurler Of
New York, will be over this afternoon
The grounds were not in the best condi-
ton last week when he hurled, and he
wants another chance to show his Prov
ess. He was a little stiT after his prac-
tice on the wet grass last week, but Is
now in the best OF shape.
Among the locals Pete Healey looks to
be a star. and has been practicing with
his brother this week preparing for to-
days game. Wolfe appears to be the
second best hurler that has shown on the
grounds and should have his bat working
to good advantage before the time comes
to stop play.
