PRINCETON USES
AERIAL ATTACK TO
DOWN VIRGINIA
Roper's Men Flash Old
Power in Trimming
Southerners, $40.

Princeton football team rolled up four
touchdowns and two field goals
against the University Of Virginia
in the Palmer Stadium this after
noon, defeating the Southerners by
the score of "a to 0. All four OF
the Tiger touchdowns came in the
first two periods, when the regular
varsity was intact, but the Virginians
held well In the last two periods,
end the Orange and Black scoring
was confined to two pretty field goals
from the toe of Ken Smith.
The visiting team was unable to
stop the Princeton attack in any
department OF the game. the pass
ing OF the Tigers being most effective
in producing scores. Capt. Keck won
the toss from Rlnehart, the Virginia
leader, and elected to receive the
kick-off. The first score came ~
result of bautiful forty-yard run
by Jack Cleaves which put the bail
on the courtyard line. He was thrown
for a two-yard loss on the next play,
but Clarity plunged through center
for the score, and Keck kicked the
goal The next Princeton touchdown
came when Capt. Rinehart. Of the Virs
ginians. fumbled and Snively pecoy-
cred the ball for the Tigers in the
middle Of the field. Cleaves ripped
on another long run, this time for
twenty-five yards. and on the next
play Garrity scored in the corner
OF the field after receiving Van
Gerbig's long pass.
Passes Increase Total.
The Orange and Black touchdowns
In the second quarter both came from
forward passes. the first being made
by Hank Clarity, who received from
Snively. and the second by Peck
Euwer on a very short pass over the
center of the line by Van Gerbig.
Euwer was waiting for the twisting
oval on the good side of the goal
line.
The Virginians had only one
real chance to score, and that was
in the first part of the last quarter,
Two fifteen-yard penalties took
the pigskin back we'll within
Princeton territory for the first
time during the game. The South
erners then opened their only sue
cessful attack of the afternoon, by
series of forward passes from
open formation. and completed fve
out of their six attempts. The last
heave was from Foster to Opple-
man and the latter was brought
down within one foot of the Tiger
goal line. On the next play Vir-
gtnia was offside and was sent
back five yards. Foster dropped
back on the next lineup and tried
another. of the passes which had
heretofore been so successful, but
the heave was wild and the ball
was grounded behind the Princeton
goal posts.
The hearts of the Princeton root
ers came back to normal beating,
for Virginia never opened up her
attack to any dangerous degree
again during the game. Both
teams had put in a great number
OF Substitutes and there was very
little interesting playing after that
except the brilliant kicking of
Smith. Smith was the second sub
stitute used for Jack Cleaves and
undoubtedly supported the judg-
ment of the coaches. His first boot
was from the 45-yard line and the
second from S5-yards. The line
helped him in both attempts by
holding well.
LOurie Fails to Play.
Coach Bill Roper evidently did
not want to run the chance of
Lourie's hurting his leg again and
thus be out of the Harvard and
Princeton games for the Tiger
backfleld ace warmed the substi-
tutes throughout the entire game.
Lourie had been drilling all week
with the varsity and the expecta-
ton of the undergraduates was
that their idol would be in the play
today, but the dope was upset.
Jack Cleaves was easily the most
prominent star of the Tiger ma
chine this afternoon. He made
long. Jagged runs through broken
fields for twenty-five and forty
yards respectively in the first quar-
ter, each of which placed the pig
skin in a good position for the
score which followed. Garrity
again was in the form that has won
for him the high reputation he has
as a plunging back. Besides, his
consistent gains through the line
he called the signals from quar-
terback and showed admirable
leadership.
Rutan Defensive Star.
The defensive work Of Frank Rutan,
who was substituted for "Whoop'
Snively at left end, was nothing short
OF miraculous. Time after time he
stopped the Virginia backs behind
their own line, and his showing Is all
the more creditable because he has
always been-a tackle before this week
Strangely enough. a substitute back
was the Outstanding light on the
Southern combination. Foster took
Carrington's place at quarterback in
the first period and was the power Of
the visitors passing attack. as well
as the defensive star. when he In
tercepted several Princeton passes,
running them back for good gains.
Capt Rinehart did the punting for
Virginia, but except in a few he. did
not get them off very well. because
the Tiger readily broke through the
Southern forwards. The superiority
Of the Tiger eleven is evidenced by
the unofficial statistics which credit
Princeton with thirteen first downs
and Virginia five. Virginia threatened
only once. when 80 yards of penalties
brought them within range. The
Orange and Black was penalized for
a total Of so yards, but the play was
not at all rough at any time.
