PRINCETON, n. j., Oct. GAS the
purple shadows enveloped the Palmer
stadium this evening mighty cheer
roared through the concrete arena
cheer for beaten host. 1t was Prince
| toms tribute to a game and aggressive
football team from the Naval Academy,
and as 1t rose it was taken up by more
| than $4,000 throats
Fighting as only a. service team will
| fight when it finds itself at bay with
relentless and resourceful zoe plling
threat upon threat. the Navy eleven put
up splendid battle. But il was alto
gether losing one. Princeten's superior
speed. power and cunning translated
themselves into two touchdowns and gave
the Tigers a clean cut triumph by a
score Of IA to o.
There was glory enough In that VIC
tory for the entire Princeton squad. but
glory In the fullest measure for Frank
Murrey and Donald Lourie. whose indl-
vidual brilliancy gave old Nassau It's
touchdowns, Murray took his place In
Tiger football history with such stars OF
other days as Snake" Ames. "Ad"
Kelly and the Poes. for It was a re-
markabie serpentine dash for seventy
seven yards by Murrey which gave
princeton its second touchdown soon
after the start OF the last period. Lourie
sent the Tiger cohorts into ver!ta BILE
frenzy of cheering when. early In the
second quarter, he dashed fifteen yards
and crossed the Navy goal line. II was
the scfntillating elimination Of an ad-
vance OF seventy-four yards.
Fine Interference for Murray.
That run of Murrays was a thing OF
beauty. True. II was individual, and
yet on analysis II was one of the least
Individual efforts Of that variety seen
In many day. The dash was made
possible In the main by Murray's great
ability as a sprinter. as a dodger. and
| by his football sense But behind him
| there was some of the finest Interior
ence developed by a Princeton team In
| years and years.
Murray's opportunity TO mako himself
hero came within three minutes after
the start OF the last quarter. As the
| perio3 opened the Navy Began a forward
| attack and 1t failed. King was forced
! 10 punt and Princeton obtained the ball
| On. Its own twenty yard line Lourie,
who has been playing quarterback, left
the game In favor OF Murray. The new
coner got his chance at once and the
best he could show was a loss of i've
yards Not a very promising start to-
ward hero's niche this.
Princeton decided not TO trifie with
the ball 30 deep IN It's own territory. and
Scheerer punted TO his own forty-sir
yard mark. The Navy tried the Princeton
line and found it as strong and s.anch
as the amor of bsttleship. II at
tempted TO fro q broadside Of forward
asses into the Princeton boat. but this
mode at attack once moro failed. Again
the Navy was at bay.
Once more King fell back TO kick and
gain Princeton found itself in possess
sion Of the leather far down In it's own
terrsino. Murray fell back as II 10 punt
out OF the danger zone. The Navy fell
into the trap. Surely this would be a
punt. The Tigers had seven. points to
fall back on and would not take any
chances with the ball. The Annapolis
line spread, the backs drew toward their
own goal line.
Up came the ball from Kie Callahan
to Murray. For the shortest moment
Murray balanced the ball In his hands.
Then he started on his way. First he
scooted toward tho left tackle. The
gap In that direction began 10 lose in
spite OF the fine interference OF Murray's
supporting cast. Then. as his mates
made way for him on the right side,
Murray turned In his sinuous progress
and described an s. Into tho left side
he went, with seven Navy men dashing
n.adly In his wake.
Rushes Toward Navy Goal.
Again he swung this time into the
centre OF the field. And while ten
Princeton men were scattering eleven
Annapolis fighters right and left and
the Princeton side OF the field roared
accompaniment. which to Murray was
s~ eeter than a mothers lullaby the
Tiger rushed toward the Navy goal
Fifty yards gone, and a Navy mans
breath was almost hot on Murray |
back. But from somewhere came Gil
roy and keck to put his man Hamilton
out of the way. And as he was blocked
on Murray ran and ran with a clear
field before him and nobody closer than
fifteen yards behind him. AZ he came
% the goal line he stumbled, but no
hurled his hands, with the ball In their
grasp across the final chalk mark and
then crept over 20 Join them
This was a run to talk Rbout--an
achievement which even the old timers
had 90 confess was on par with Tn
best that their stalwarts OF the era OF
Vikings could perform. Keck Kicked the
goal. and Princeton had a fourteen point !
lead on the Navy.
The shadows we're gathering. the game |
was running fast towatd its close and |
tho outlook for The Navy WINS dark. But |
not for a moment did u let up IN its l
effort 10 put over score. II began |
20 throw moro passes. II Began 10 hurl |

but except for scattered occasions that |
