and Possible Defeat at Hands OF

Why did Princeton University drop

1921 football schedule? That Is the
question that is discouraging 10 tho ma
jorlty Of the Mountain state followers
who have backed the Cold and Blue

West Virginia broke into tho big
game In 1918, when they defeated such
teams as Princeton. Wash-Jerf. Wcs-

In tho East. The only severe reverses
the Mountaineers suffered In that year
were to Pittsburgh and Centre College.
Princeton Afraid.
After West Virginia had given tn"
Tigers their worst beating IN history.
they ran up against the best team tina:
ever represented the old Nausua school.
and with q team that was ranked far
below the leading Eastern elevers went
into the fray and at halves lead the
Princeton wonders by 60 score. Even
though the MountRIncers were beaten
the second half. they outp!ayed the
Tigers. and It was not until Clarity in

that West Virginia was robbed OF such
a brilliant victory.
No matter what excuse the Princeton
authorities and athletic leaders give for
not arranging game with tho West
