PRINCETON N. J., Oct 4-Prfncet0n
defeated Trinity here to-day In the OPEN
ing game of the 1919 football season,
2S to 0. The visitors came TO Princeton
with a very light team, but despite this
fact put up a defence during the first
two quarters that caused no little anx-
iety among the 5000 Orange and Black
adherents.
The Tigers scored six minutes after the
game began as the result of a brilliant
run back of a punt by Strubing from
Princeton's 40 yard line. For the rest
of the half, however, the Hartford COLI
legians presented first line OF defence
that successfully resisted the onset OF
the Tiger backs.
The second half told a different story.
The Princeton scoring machine got into
action and in rapid fire order flashed
three touchdowns across the Trinity
| line and scored all three resultant gosia

Tho Princeton eleven exhibited all The
early season faults. but showed mark
eddy good form in following the ball.
The Tiger defence was deserving OF
special mention. Trinity managed to
mako Just one first down and that came
late in the last quarter when ten eubsti-
tutes were playing on the Princeton
| eleven.
| Three of the four Princeton touch
downs were largely the result of brill
| liant individual work, while the fourth
came as the result of the battering ram
tactics pursued at the opening of the
second half.
Strubing easily was the star of the
game. scoring two touchdowns and kick

Mcnamara played a good game at end,
catching a forward pass in the third
l.quarter that resulted in the second
princeton tally.
The story Of the first touchdown IL
easily told. Mazzoni kicked Off to Stru-
bling and the latter ran the ball back to
the middle of the field, only to stumble
when he apparently had a clear field for
touchdown. Lourie went through
tackle for seven yards and Opie added
two more in the same place. Macphee
made 1t first down, but the ball was
taken back fifteen yards because
Princeton man was detected holding.
Lourie made up ten Of the yards and
then Kicked to Lynch. who was downed
in his tracks on the 20 yard line. The
! Princeton ends were down fast on al
most every kick.
