Tigers. Beck Is the boy to slide
through the Princeton defense on
Saturday. Once he gets away and
gets a taste OF blood. he ia liable
to make himself an All-American

Rodgers who defeated Princeton

much this trip. It is worth going

have assaulted a CT year old woman
here was hanged to post Sunday
night at Z o'clock by a mob of about
80 citizens. The jailer and officials
were overpowered and the negro was
taken from a cell in the Jail The mob
was orderly and persons living q
block from where the lynching took
place declared they did not know

The negro, who told officers after
he was captured, that he had served
a term in the Arkansas penitentary,
was alleged to have accosted the wo-
man in a pecan grove Sunday after
noon, near her sons home, where she
was visiting. He is alleged to have
