PRINCETON, n. j., Oct 25.-Never did
A Princeton football team fight harder
than did the sons of Old Nassau in the
Palmer Memorial Stadium this after
noon. Never did a Tiger eleven show
more courage in the face of odds. But
all the fight and courage which the
Princeton men could develop we're not
equal to the task of stopping the equally
courageous, more powerful and more ex-
rerienced team which carried the colors
Of Colgate. Princeton was defeated
cleanly and decisively, but with all that,
It exceeded expectations, for 1t held the
Colgate eleven to only one touchdown.
The score was to 0.
Amid the murk of defeat Princeton
men tonight find one bright beacon
l'ght--the brilliant stand of their eleven
when Colgate was only two feet away
from a touchdown In the third period.
Colgate had marched thirty-four yards
II came less than one yard from the
final chalk mark. A touchdown appeared
inevitable. 1t was fourth down and
Clio, who had been smashing through
the Tigers for big gains, once more was
sent into the Princeton mass
But here the Tigers showed the stun
out of which true Tigers are made. Even
OeIOEe blIlO get kOlHS Ine
ton centre trio smashed through and got
their man. Three Tigers sat on Gillo's
neck and three more sat on his stomach.
And when the fighting mass was sepa-
rated it was found that Colgate had
gained not even an inch. and that 1t was
Princeton's ball.
Colgate Scores Quickly.
Tor oh, ~fo5
to be decidedly anaemic the great stand
Of the Princeton front buiwark was a
feat productive of unbounded delight
for the Tigers. and a blow which would
have staggered opposition less deter
mined and powerful than that of Col
gate. But Colgate was not to be dis
couraged by this unexpected stand o,
the enemy. It was not to be denied
And in less than two minutes 1t chalked
up the touchdown and the goal there.
from which gave it its seven points
After Princeton had taken the ball on
downs after that remarkable stand on
the two foot mark. Trimble fell back
seven yards behind his own goal line to
punt out Of danger. The Colgate men,
fighting mad over having been baked
when they had a touchdown in their
grasp, we're playing terrific football. As
Trimble got the pass for the punt the
Colgate players came in on him like
eleven furles playing Hell's Bells. He
had to get his kick away faster than
was good for Princetons health, and
the best he could do was to lift the ball
to Princeton's thirty-two yard mark
where it was caught by Anderson.
That puny punt may have been the
break Of the game, but Princeton's
claims in that direction can hardly be
regarded seriously. Colgate then began
a little march which would have got II
across the line even had 1t been asked tc
go ten yards more. With the Princeton
goal once more within striking distance
the Maroon opened up its bag of tricks
and drew out its Wanted forward pass
which had won It so many games in the
past.
Forward Pass Wins.
Watkins started the march toward the
Tiger goal line with a one yard gair
through the lift side of the line
Anderson then tossed forward pass but
nobody was in the vicinity when thu
ball came down and It grounded. Came
another forward pass from Anderson
and 1t was directed at Clio. The tos.
went for ten yards and Clio ran twelve
more before he was downed. making G
total gain OF twenty-five yards.
II was this pass which won the game
for Colgate. 1t was a cleverly execute
play, Colgate throwing three men wid'
on the left side while Clio was prac
tically alone on the right. And Will,
Princeton was waiting for the toss t
come to the strong side IT sailed calml,
to the supposedly weak end of the lint
ana away went Clio.
Now Colgate was on Princeton's
yard line. But nary groan from tn
Princeton side of the stands. Get then
again!" the Tigers shouted at thei
eleven, but that raging Colgate team wa
not going to be halted a second time.
Again Clio was given the ball, an
once more he did not fail. He smashe
through the left side for two yards,
small gain. but inside the ten yard zone
The second play In the final drive say
Clio get the leather again. and Clio wa
not to be stopped. He reeled of tw
more yards on the other side OF the Tige
centre.
Colgate was only six yards from tn
Princeton line. While the Tigers wer
