$4,000 football fans looking on.
1t was Princeton's first victory
over Harvard since 1911 and
Princeton celebrated tonight as she
seldom celebrated before.
The Tigers were toasts on every
body's tongue, but one sturdy
member of the fighting team came
in for a lions share of the glory.
Ralph Gilroy of Haverhill, Mass,
left halfback on the fighting Orange
and Black eleven, turned what looked
like defeat into a well-earned victory
for the Tigers, when, late in the

spearing q forward pass from Don

thing he wanted.
