"a. Tiger biund, ring and lack of
strategy more than any Individual
suneriority of the Harvard players that
rave the crimson victory In its twenty
FIRST meeting with the sons ~ o'd
Nassau. The score was 3 to -.
Defeat once more delayed the dawn
Of a better Tomorrow for which Prince
ton has been hopiHg for the last hSe
years. For Harvard IL was the NTH
successive triumph over the Orange and
Black, which gave 1t eight Victories and
enc tie In the series Instituted In lNII.
Haryard's winning tallies were scored
On a goal from the field by f!ll Horween
In the third period. A poor punt by
Eddie briggs started Princeton on inc
road to its downfall and assisted the
Crimson In It's advance 20 the seventeen

pigskin was all important. Princeton
and Harvard were guilty Of six fumbies
each, and the Tigers recovered four whI!e
the Crimson lost the ball on as many
occa s.ons. The Tiger Sip ups came NJ
more critical times.
Despite all Its laundering Princeton
might have won had 1t been able 10 can
on Dave Tibbott, the greatest drop
kicker In the East. But Tibbott sat II

with an Injured knee that kept him IN
active while every nerve In him tingled
with the many possibilities for scoring
that presented themselves for a good
drop kicker.

Neither kick got as far as the Harvard
goal posts. Two other opportunities
might have been taken advantage OF by
