once, while Princeton fumbied twice.
The tackling in the main was hard and
clean; the passing was accurate and
we'll timed and the defensive power Of
both elevens was up to q high stand
ard. Colgate deserves great credit for
games on previous weeks. Gillo was
badly battered before the game started,
while Anderson was in poor shape from
bruises and jolts.
Laird lasted only brief spell, but
there was such smoothness and poise
to the Colgate machine, and it made
so few mistakes, that it was able to
beat another strong eleven. For
Princeton to-day was another team
The Tiger squad gave indications of
coming power, and through the greater
part of the game proved its excep-
tional worth. In Trimble and Strubing,
Princeton entered two star backs who
frequently worried even the rugged
defense which Colgate carries. Trim
BILE can run, kick and pass, and with
another two weeks to 60 he will prove
a formidable man for Harvard to stop.
Princeton's defense was strong all
the way through. Colgate's attack has
a world of power, but it was held in
check until the Anderson atkins
combination took to the aerial route
Not even the mighty Gillo could break
down this defense with a goal line to
guard.
Both Princeton ends met every oc-
casion, while the play of Princeton g
secondary defense proved that Bill
Roper had turned out very fine job
Williams and Bigler are both well
Of Keck, Callahan and McGraw, among
others, was good enough to give the
fine Colgate line an even fight.
/. Battle Of Lines Notable
For Colgate, the work of Clio, Wat
kins, Anderson, West, Harris and Mar.
tin was notable. When the Colgate
line charged it was like red wave
all surging forward together. And YET
even these stars found the Tiger for
wards from end to end worthy oppo
nents, q vast improvement over any
football Princeton has shown this fall
Both Strubing and Anderson used fine
judgment in directing their plays, ane
the battle between this pair was al
even one.
Colgate surpassed Princeton 4,
straight rushes and in avoiding penal
ties by more conservative tactics. Blu
Princeton was superior with her for
ward passes and we'll ahead in tn
kicking game. In rushing the ball Col
gate obtained Sc yards to IS for Prince
ton, where each team earned thre
first downs. But in forward passing
Princeton got SO yards against 80 70
Colgate. a margin of almost 8 to !
In the way Of penalties, Colgate los
but 10 yards, where Princeton lost 81
and two Of these penalties came as tn
Tiger was clawing his way forwar
dangerously close to the Colgate goa
line. This over eagerncss in startin

the day was the brilliant work of Gill
