down. Later, merely for good meas
goals. That was in tie final perio
yelling over their imminent victory.
Forcing the battle from the open.
Ing whistle, Navy had driven the
Tigers back beneath the shadow OF
their own goal posts just before the
final whistle sounded for the opening
quarter. Came then fake kick
formation and a Princeton back
fumbled. Taylor, the Navy end.
was on the flying leather like a
hawk on a chicken. The call of time
found the Navy on Princetop's g.
yard lire.
But the Tigers were not weaklings.
They held for downs In two plays
after the second period began and Van
Gervig, the tall fullback. went back to
kick far down the field, as he did so
frequently during the day. But this
time he failed.
Bolles, the big Navy tackle, hurled
himself through Hooper and blocked
the kick. Carney, the Navy guard had
also leaped through the Princeton line
and Il was he who fell to the ground,
hugRing the ball to his breast for
touchdown. Kings goal from touch
down made the score Z to and the
Navy cohorts went mad with Joy.
Kicks Two Field Goals.
Stubbornly they battled all through
the second and third periods. So long
as Van Gervig could punt. Princeton
gained on exchange Of kicks, but
whenever the middie4 chose to rush
the ball, diving through inside of
tackle or splitting outside of tackle and
around the end, the Tigers could not
hold their own. Always were they
crowded back and back again until
they were in dangerous quarters.
Substitutes were streaming into the
Tiger lineup as the final period be-
gan, and that seemed to add fire to the
Middies. They forced the Tigers back
until King tried a field goal from the
40-yard line. The ball sailed just be-
meath the crossbar and Princeton had
the ball.
King quickly intercepted forward
pa IS and the Navy attack was on
again. Finding the going rough. King
dropped back to Princeton's 36-yard
line and booted a goal from placement,
Koehler holding the ball as II came
from Captain Larsen. That clinched
the victory. No fluke could nov en-
able the Tigers to tie the score.
Noyes and Barchet began a wild
attack around the tackles and
the ends and quickly the ball was
down in Princeton territory. Time
was running short. and so King drop
ped back to the 1S-yard line and over
went the second goal from placement.
That was the final score, 13 to 0, with
the Navy on top.
Tigers Line Fails.
Princeton lost in the line. Stan
Keck. all-American tackle, was the
only Tiger to make a good showing in
the forward line, though wittmer
gave Larsen a fine tussle at center.
But at the end of the afternoon. when
he had done manfully against odds on
both sides of the line, even the great
Keck could not prevent the savage
of Barchet and Noyes. He
was passed more than once for long
gains.
Princeton sadly missed Lourie, its
brilliant quarterback, and Hank Char
-ity. it's hardworking fullback. Lourie
would have done better
IN handling the teams attack, and,
with Charity in the backfield, that
attack would have been far stronger.
Then, too, the loss OF Dick Newly i'm
he opening period hurt the Tigers
At no time did they
,eem able to offer a consecutive at
.ack. Their running game was no
able for it's absence.
Van Gervig's punting was beauti-
'ul. He got height, distance and
direction into his punts and, when
,ver the Navy snapped kicks, the
rigers gained anywhere from ten to
wenty yards. But the Navy seldom
wrapped kicks. II had a better
means Of advancing the ball.
Navy Team Kicks OFF.
Navy kicked off to the Tigers, who
defended the south goal Two short
'ushes for four yards and Van
Iervig punted to Navy's 23-yard
inc. Newby was charged with un-
necessary roughness as the Navy
'ack was tossed to the turf and sent
o the sidelines, Princeton being
,enalized half the distance to its
,oal line.
Following a couple OF stabs into

,all to Princeton's 2b-yard line. Sue

Princeton had to punt, Navy making
fair catch on it's own 45.yard line.
However. the ball was brought back
nd Princeton given the ball on it's
wn 20-yard line, but two losses at
ackle brought another punt.
