PrtncetOn-Navy.
Princeton would have preferred great
" if the game with Chicago. which is
set for next Saturday. had been ad-
vanced a week and the battle with the
Midshipmen set back for one. However.
here's the big test and it's up to the
Tigers to prove their mettle.
Last year the sons of Old Nassau de-
feated the sailors by IA to 0. but it
took LOT of power and versatility. lot
OF strength in the kicking game and
alertness to get the better Of the fighting
Midshipmen. Last year a good many OF
the Navy regulars who were away with
the crew at the Olympic games did not
report until just before the Princeton
game, so the eleven at Annapolis was
unable to point for that scrap.
However. to-day the Navy admits that
II has been preparing for the Tigers. 1t
admits that it burns for revenge and
that it Is ready to put UP a whale OF
game. The Navy is going so far as to
offer odds. AS for Princeton, it feels
that 1t could be lot stronger at This
stage of the season. 1t feels lost with
out the fine punting of Scheerer and the
drop kicking of Murrey. 1t showed lot
of rough edges against Colgate last Sat
urday. But It's a fighting Princeton
team just the same. and that means
lot.
The N,vy has a stalwart line. though
rot with 1872. strength at The flanks 1t
has Tremendous power at the pivot and
backfiels which Is not exactly fast but
carries terrific punch and highly de-
veloped threat. The Princeton team
misses many Of the cogs OF 1920. but II
seems to be coming along in fair shape

In beating Furman by 27 to Z last week
Georgia appeared strong on defence

very much after attack down that way.
