On Defensive
Handwriting Maroon Ma

Warriors; Lourie Missed

Princeton Tiger, which was so severely
wounded while roaming the lair of che
Midshipmen at Annapolis last week,
was struck down again to-day in it's
own jungle. The Tiger tonight is in
s. bad way and in need of considerable
attention. The heavy Chicago Univer-
sity eleven, showing surprising we'll
groomed outfit, completely outplayed
the Princetonians here shis afternoon,
a. completely as did the Navy last
week. and romped off the field with a
8 to victory.
The outcome was grand triumph
for the West and for Alonzo Stagg, the
veteran coach who has peen drilling
football players for the last thirty
Princeton never had a chance to-
day. From the start it was on the
defensive fighting with all its might
to keep the hard-driving Maroon ma
chine in check. Machine is exactly
the word that describes the Chicago
team.
Followers of Eastern football who
had never seen any of the Conference
elevens were figuring on Stages stu
close contest. But few expected to
see such wonderful, we'll drilled, ca
pable crew in action here to-day.
Give Finished Exhibition
The rangy maroon-clad warriors
gave a finished exhibition of football
play in downing the Tigers. and left
no doubt as to their superiority. Prince
ton students we're clamoring for little
Don Lourie, their star quarterback
But even with Lourie in it is hard to
see how the Fasteners would have
Jared any differently.
The Chicagoans exhibited no pyro-
sechnic display of forward passes or
trick plays to put over their victory
They put on a straight, hard-rushing,
hammer and -tongs attack, in which
every man on the team played his part
and in which the backs and the lineman
co-ordinated in perfect unison.
Led by their husky chieftain, Charles
Mcclure, who is all-American ii any
body is this season, the Westerners,
particularly the line, charged viciously
and with tremendous power. McGu1re,
al tackle, was all over the lot He was
virtually in every play. He was rated
as all-Western tackle last year, but he
far overshadowed the broad-shouldered
Stanley Keck, all-American star, this
afternoon. Keck's reputation and we'll
known prowess did not seem to worry
the Westerners. Whenever they saw
fit they charged right through Keck's
position, and if he happened to be in
the way they simply rode over his pros
trate form. All parts of the Tiger line
were vulnerable to the lads from the
West
Visiting Forwards Work Well
At times the visiting forwards COM
pleted their work so we'll the entire in
reference waded through with the man
k<.to al
Witttmer. performing as a rowing CEN
ter with the help of the smashing Gill
roy, was called upon time and again
to stop the onslaught of the Chicago
ans, and it was due mostly to their
splendid backing up that the Chicago
runner did not break clear frequently.
The Chicago backs do not appear to
rank with the Navy representatives. but
those same backs did magnificent work
to-day. Milton Rodney, in particular.
was a real star. He ran hard and
swiftly, got under way with the snap
of the bali and was q terror TO down.
He slipped off his tacklers like
creased boar and was going forward
always.
Rodney and Mcclure were the out
standing heroes of the fray although
Cole, Hurlburt, Thomas and Timme
showed to advantage. Mcclure, in ad-
dition to being mainstay of his line,
was an inspiring leader. He led his
players en- to victory like a general.
Gilroy and Wilmer did the best
work for the Tigers, and on occasion
the strong armed Keck joined in with
some good defensive work. Extensively
Princeton went nowhere. Late in the
game the smashing Hank Garrity was
rushed IN, but he found the going hard
and rovrh The Chicago forwards not
emily hacked out huge gaps in their
opponents defense, but stopped the
ofYense of the Princeton players as
effectively as stone wall.
The Oh cago players IN making their
gains used a swift-shifting attack that
brought Mcclure into the play. Gen
orally in smashing through tackle they
swept the Princeton tackle and end
outside and blocked in the guard, leav-
ing the road open and smooth for the
back, who seldom failed to take ad-:
vantage to drive through for several
yards or more.
Chicago Wins the Toss
Chicago won the toss and chose to
defend the south goal. Keck kicked
of for Princeton, and Immediately the
Westerners got under way. With the
stocky little Timme carrying the ball
most of the time, they pounded their
way through the Tiger line for con-
tinual gains.
They interiected forward pass to
help their cause along, but Gilroy
smashed down the pass Romney then
kicked over the goal line. Vangerbig
kicked Immediately on the first down
from his own 20-yard line to Prince
tons 43yard line.
Princeton tried one rush and then
Vangerbig kicked to Chicago's 38-yard
line. Romney returned the punt to
Euwer, who fumbled, but Gilroy recov-
cred on the 48-yard line Smith made
three yards and then scored Princeton's
first down on rush through center.
A forward pass failed, after which
Smith tried drop kick from the So
yard line, the ball falling beneath the
crossbar. Once more Chicago began a
steady march down the field. Thomas
reeled eff five yards through the left
side Of the line. Cole got two more.
and Thomas made it first down. Cole
and Thomas went on TO another first
down. Princeton was offside, giving
the Westerners five yards more. CoIe
fumbled, but recovered, and then
punted to Princetons 30-yard line.
Vangerbig returned the punt to Cole
who ran the ball back eighteen yards.
And Then Touchdown
