Big Break Against Navy.

against the Navy and very much for
Princeton. Scheerer went back as II

The ball went to Clarity. who scooted
twenty yards through gap at left
tackle. Princeton's attack began to get
in Its real hard ticks.
Then the Tigers opened up their
offence. They were in a position to re-

went from Lourie, who threw II with
power and precision to Davis, who made
1t count for thirty-eight yards and put
Princeton practically on the threshold
of the touchdown. Davis stumbled In
his progress, but he kept right on for
eight yards more before the Navy could
bring him down.
In a trice another Princeton forward
pass went hurting through the air. from
Lourie to Raymond, and this one de-
veloped a gain of ten yards, which put
the Tigers on the Nays fifteen yard
line. Once more the leather went to
Lourie for forward pass, and as the
Navy drew away bit to diagnose the
play and Lourie stood as If In indecision
the Tigers's strategic punch came to the
fore. The great triple threat stood out
in bold relief as Lourie dashed through

Navy Cheering In Loud.
The Navy cheering was loud and sus-
tanned and II came from the lusty
tbroats of naval officers. If the Navy
did not have the best players on the
field. il surely had the champion cheer

Mike was not only leader in the cheer.

whose antics made the gleeful crowd
al the more gleeful He did hand
sIrings and pinwheels with the careless
abandon of circus acrobat. and he
timed his efforts with the roars from
the Navy side. -
The weather was splendid--just n
little too warm for the players but ideal
for those who looked on. 1t was ono
of the rarest of rare days of the l!nger-
ms Indian summer. The skies were un-
fecked, the air was balrny and the scene

stadium rose the low Jersey hills, clad

Toward the town rose the towers OF the
university, and all over the bronze ami

For Princeton the occasion was one OF
reunion for many of the classes, and
they made quite a day of 1t. The grad

fantastic caps. They were in a mood to

In so far as history was concerned, the
