1t was about as spectacular Il game
as ever was staged in the Palmer
Stadium. While it was being fought
an aeroplane hovered over the fic d
reca ling the last visit of Hobey Baker
to the stadium, when he visited the
university in an aeroplane just before
he went overseas to die. AS the aero
plane vanished in the distance it was
as though his spirit had passed by with
a call to Prime ton to fight. And the
Prlncetonlans certainly res sponded to
the call
1t was a brilliant march to that first
touchdown. 1t started after MURRAY of

1t seemed that harvard lacked a de-

Finally Meet Res stance
After season of gamas in which

some real fight and it astonished the
players. While the Crimson eleven

to Williams, who cot the ball to Har
wards ffteen-yard line.
At This period the Harvard announcer
became mute and the Harvard contin
gent in the stands waxed somewhat
hystercal. Trimble crashed through
the wavering Harvard line. Then
Strubing made a beautiful pass to
Tr;mble, who shot across the Harvard
goal line for touchdown.
1t was the first time that an oppo-
nent had crossed the Harvard goal line
this season. StruDing kicked the goal.
Over on the Princeton side Of the field
the inmates of the Orange and Is ack
section Of the stands were dancing like
naniacs. For the first time since 1911
it seemed that Princeton would claw
Crimson eleven apart.
T! e Harvard contingent, which en-
tered the field so full of confidence in
tie dope that made Princeton easy tor
Harvard, was stunned for half an hour
afterward. 1t was big Harvard fol-
lowing, too, seemingly outnumberlng
the Princeton adherents in their own
stadium.
Fumb'e Costly to Tigers

Trimhle was stretched out, dazed and
