The Washington times., 1921-10-30

The Princeton football squad has the
material for a wonderful team. and
there is no real reason why IL should
not crash through with some Novem-
Der victories. In Captain Stan Keck
1t was without question the best tackle
in the East. A member Of last years
ali-American team, and bearing the
record Of having played all through
every game in the Tiger schedule last
year, he IL the most valuable man on
the squad, outside of Don Lourie. His
line play is sure and hard and he is
deadly in running down under punts.
He is a valuable man for the Kickoff
and in placement kicking, and IL the
team can score a touchdown, he never
fails to give Il one more point by
Kicking goal.
Bob Hooper. the other tackle. In a
venteran of last years eleven and is
ct mate for Keck. He plays a con
sistent game and is a hard man to get
through. The guards can hardly be
said to rate as high as the tackles, and
the loss of Mel Dickinson. OF last sea.
sons team, is keenly felt In the middle
of the line. Bill Morgan, an Andover
man who played on the 1918 varsity Is
probably the best man on the squad
for guard, and Pink Baker, the big
blonde from Exter. is close Second
Won Shilling Is a junior, who Is on the
squad for the first time this year, was
substituted for the latter In the Chi
cago game and showed up well enough
to make him strong contepder for
permanent berth at the position.
Tyson and GRAY have done so well
at ends that Hal Harvey. Cam
bridge man who prepared Mt Exeter
and was a regular on the 1919 squad,
when he returned to college after a
wears absence was unable 20 reRatn
his regular berth Stinson was back
In the game against Chicago, and his
playing was a considerable help TO
the slipping Tigers.
In AL Wittmer at center, Roper
has one of the strongest football
players on the team. AL was the
star defense man In the backfield OF
the 1919 eleven and played some In
the back field last year. As there
was an abundance of backfield ma.
terial at the beginning Of the season
and at the same time a great need
of a good defense man TO back up
the line. Roper developed Wittmer
at center, and so far this season he
has done the best defense work that
has been done back of the lines.
Outside on Don Jourie, the best
back on the team is Hank Clarity.
He has played on the varsity ever
since his sophomore year and has
always been well known for his line
plunging. His unfortunate injury In
the Swarthmore game put him out for
three weeks but he is again rounding
into shape and should be in top form
by the time the Tigers meet Yale and
Harvard.
Ken Smith and Howell Van Cerbig,
two sophomores have been doing fine
work In the back field. Smith had his
first real chance In the Chicago clash
and showed considerable promise.
Peck Euwer, who has been playing
quarter while Dourie was out Of the
game, Ia able but light. He runs well
with the ball and passes fairly accu.
rately, but as field general cannot
compare with Don. Jack Cleaves,
who was on the varsity last year, ls
a good guard and hits the line hard
He has also done some good puntinE
in the games In which he has played.
The most promising feature OF
Princeton's football outlook II the
wealth Of material for good eleven
next year. A number of men have
developed in the sophomore class and
the freshmen have some backfield men
who should be OF some use next year
