SCORED ON
Defeats Swarthmore by 17-6, But
Losers Batter Tigers Line for
Late Touchdown,

PRINCETON, N. j., October 2.-The
Princeton foot ball team opened its
season today with victory over the
Swarthmore College eleven, II to s.
The Tigers had the advantage
throughout the first three periods
and it was during that time that all
the Orange and Black tallies were
registered. Displaying strategic
attack in which old-fashioned foot
ball was combined with forward
passes and trick plays, the Princeton
warriors either rammed through the
line or circled the side for large
gains. This coupled with a little
luck enabled them to down their
sturdy little rivals from Swarthmore.
Lourie and Murray were the Prince
ton stars. the latter scoring a field
goal from the 25-yard line.
Swarthmore rallied in the final
period, blowing through Princeton's
line for consistent gains, which en-
abled them to score their only touch
down.
