without any noticeable letup in energy.
wittmer tried the line again. and this
time he was sent spinning for no gain.
In addition Princeton was penalized five
yards for offside.
A Fatal Double Pass.
Princeton was back on Colgate's 16
yard mark. A. this stage Dame Fortune
took the Colgate side of the argument
and whispered to Strubing to, order a
double pass. the only one Of the game.
Strubing got the ball away, and he got
It back, but in between the double opera
ton Strubing lost eight yards. Prince
ton was back on Colgate's a. yard mark.
Even two field goals could not have won
the game, so the Tigers had to keep
plugging away.
Strubing then went back to his old
friend forward pass and hurled a long
one to Harvey. who was at the extreme
corner Of tho field. Harvey muffed the
toss right on the line, and another Tiger
change was spoiled. Another forward
pass grounded. and then Colgate was
assessed five yards for OFF side. Prince
ton was on tho Maroon's 10 yard mark.
On the next play Trimble sQuirmed
and lodged through most Of the Colgate
team for a run OF nineteen yards and
planted the ball squarely behind the goal
posts. Princeton went wild. Hats were
flung high in the air and the old Tiger
yell resounded through the stadium with
the lusty notes of other years. But amid
he ltaf sxuh lad Mi n a.
progress toward the Colgate line came
the weak notes OF Langford's whistle.
Something undoubtedly was wrong. The
Colgate players stopped short in their
tracks
Now the Tiger Groans.
While Trimble was planting the ball
behind the posts Langford impaired to
Princeton the painful information that
the Tigers had beenI off side. Princeton
yells gave way to Princeton groans
which soon were showed under by an
avalanche of Colgate cheers. 1t was
Colgate's healthy sigh OF relief.
Princeton not only lost the touchdown
but 1t lost FIVE yards for the off side
play. and the Tigers went back to
Colgate's 26 yard mark. Strubing then
opened UP his passing attack. but Col
hawk each time. and the passes
grounded. 1t was fourth down and the
ball was on Colgate's 26 yard mark
Princeton might have scored through a
field yoal, but Strubing ordered another
pass and 1t grounded. That was the
end of Princeton's attack. for the Tigers
lost the ball on downs. Webster and
Clio made eight yards between them
but Colgate decided to take no more
chances. and West kicked out of the
danger zone. Strubing got the ball or
his own "A yard mark, but again the
Tigers We're guilty of off side. and the
ball went back to Colgate on it's owr
"a yard mark. Webster and Clio got
two yards each. and then came the whis-
tie. which ended the battle.
Colgate's hero was Belford West
captain and left tackle. West played
one of the great greatest line games yet
| seen on a Princeton field. He played
not only his side OF the line but fre.
quently swung over to take care of the
other side too. He was an impossible
barrier on defence and a terrific smashei
| on attack.
McGraw. the Princeton right tackle
and captain. was so far eclipsed that
there was no comparison. But McGraw
need not feel disgraced for West has
been an all-American tackle these three
! years.
