Harvard Stadium, Cambridge, Mass,
Nov. 1.-THE Princeton Tigers dubbed
lucky by most of the football critics,
fell today. Harvard, the crimson flash
that has smeared itself across the
gridiron horizon ever since Percy ID.
Haughton reappeared at Cambridge,
did il, and the Tigers took the short
end of a 8 to score. Outlined In
BACKGROUND of wildly roofing sons of
Old Nassau, with as many waving
orange colored chrysanthemums and
flashed by a crimson sea in the oppo-
site stands that famed and glowed
against gray background of concrete,
the Tiger fought and bled. Be 1t said
to the credit of Princeton, the defeat
was not humiliating. On the other
hand. may this be record of grand
nerve that can take no credit from the
Princeton eleven--an eleven that
fought and struggled, an eleven that
time after time has flung itself a
burning ton of beef and that had
wiped out it's previous opponents with
q success that needs no praise to prove
it one of the best. The victory of
Harvard stands out as a monument to
that had bowed<to Tufts opposed to
an eleven that had defeated that same
SQUAD and that had, in addition. low
cred the colors of Dartmouth. an
eleven which always is rated high.
And the Haughton system triumphed.
GREAT CROWD AT GAME.
Approximately 10000 persons, in
GLIDING the students and alumni of the
two colleges, jammed into the big
stadium and crowded their way into
the temporary stands, which had been
erected at the north end of the field
to see Plunger Horween and Eddie
Casey rip and tear their way through
the Tiger line Then they sat en-
thralled as Brown briggs and Thomas
duplicated their feats. They marveled
as briggs time after time kicked from
40 to so yards as he punted the oval
out of danger. Murray, as n quarter
back did not stand out as did Eddy of
Princeton, who at best is only mediocre,
but the rest of the lineup, with par
ticular emphasis on the back field. did
itself proud. Horween and Casey,
tearing through the tackles or round
ing the end at high speed, time after
time, reeled off long gains
1t was Horween, who after the ball
had been smashed and ripped through
the Princeton line to the Princeton Is
yard line, dropped back to the 20-yard
chalk mark and shot the oval spinning
and twisting over the Princeton goal
posts for the only points scored in the
game.
After this feat II seemed that
Princeton grew slightly discouraged.
briggs, who had been hitting the Har-
ward line with a vim that was a reve-
lation to the Crimson forwards, and
Brown. who had been dashing and
staggering into a motley, smothered
conglomeraton of dirty football uni
forms, began to lose their ginger and
the PRINCETON interference, one of the
big features of the Princeton game,
began to lose its strength.
Princeton, which had kept the ball
in Harvard territory most of the time.
began to lose the punch and Harvard
ended the game with the ball worked
well past the half way line.
