Former Princeton Star.
Cambridge, Mass, Nov. n.-Princeton
lost to Harvard in the stadium today,
3 to Q. q goal from the field by Horween
from the A-yard line telling the story.
Winn, Of Princeton, eager and anxious
to get into the game so far forgot himself
that when he was substituted for High
ley he reported to the umpire instead Of
the referee Surely Bill Langford's red
hair and white shirt made him conspicu-
Gus enough to be seen. and there is little
sympathy for winn so far forgetting
himself as to cause 1b-yard penalty
against Princeton.
This all happened shortly after the
second half began The Princeton team
was not putting the dash and spirit into
the play that the first half had evidenced.
The plays that led to Harvard's scoring
came first when Eddie briggs made a
poor kick. which went short and out of
bounds on Princeton's 42-yard line. Here
began some terrif1c plunging by Hor-
ween and Casey through the Princeton
line. Casey squirmed through the line
time and again. and aided by Horween
they put the ball on Princeton's 19-yard
line.
Here winn was substituted for Highley,
with the Harvard cheering section ap-
plaudtng what seemed sure to be a touch
down. The 15-yard penalty put the ball
on the Princeton 4-yard line. Harvard
grew over anxious after a couple Of line
smashes had failed to send the ball over
and then a 15-yard penalty for holding
sent them back to the I7-yard line. Moth
ing was left but for Horween to try for
goal and his 24-yard kick was success
full.
The game lacked some Of the live fea-
lures of the usual big contest. There
we're many substitutions by both teams
and fumbling marred considerably the
smoothness OF the game The handling
of punts was far from first class. Murray,
the Harvard quarter back being the worst
offender. Two great Individual players
faced each other today. Hogg and Dad
mum, both captains of their respective
teams, and the fight for supremacy be-
tween them was most interesting. 1t
was a stand on
Harvard's ends were clearly superior
10 PrinCeton's. Both teams gained through
each others tackles more often than
through any other place In the line Casev
certainly made good today. He made
SeTeral long, lodging runs in which he
usually managed to stifT-arm or shake or
several taclElers. He made one spectacu-
ar run OF 80 yards around Princeton's
-icht

In the closing stages Princeton tried
many long forward passes IN a desperate
effort to overcome the Harvard lead. Tib-

much to Princeton. Funk tried in vain
to score by two placed kicks. but one ferr
short and the other just srazed the lines
