Swarihmore Scores on the
Tiger Machine, Which
Performs III Ragged Style

FRlNSElON, n. D.. Oct. 1.-The
Princeton varsity football team opened
its 1921 season with p to victory
over Swarthmore in Palmer Stadium
here this afternoon.
The little Quasers struck fear to the
hesrts OF the Tiger supporters close
after the blowing of the first whistle
when White received the kick from
Captain keck and ran the ball back to
Princeton's i5-yard line. Two moro
plays and Aspiundt, of Swarthmore.
had punted the pigskin over the Tigers
goal, after which the ball was brought
out TO the 20-yard chalk in Princeton $
possession. After an exchange Of
kicks Princeton fumbled, Swarthmorc
recovering within eighteen yards Of
touchdown.
A pass to Ogden failed, going over
the Tigers to take the ball out TO
safety once more. Then the Princeton
machine started TO work. although suf-
fering heavy penalties until the wing
footed Lourie set the Tigers wild by
running sixty yards through a broken
field for a touchdown
Tigers Regain Confidence
Assurance then replaced surprise as
Stan keck kicked the goal. Lourie
was on the field with oldtme vigor,
and it did not take him long to dis
tinguish himself again in the second
quarter by receiving d thirty-yard pass
from Snively and carrying the ball an
other fifteen Yards for the second
touchdown. Princeton's third score
came in the third quarter when Dick
u,
High School star, duplicated Lourie's
first performance by taking the pig
skin sixty yards down the gridiron
and safely behind the Swarthmore
goal line. Keck sent the oval over the
bar on both occasions.
1t remained for Captain Geiges. of
Swarthmore, to make the most spectac-
ular play of the afternoon, however,
when he caught MacPhee's punt in thc
last quarter of the game and went
running. staggering and almost falling
yards in length until he finally ere ssed
the last chalk for touchdown. Carter
then kicked the goal and Swarthmore
supporters were wildly happy at the
JOY of having scored on Princeton in
the opening game.
On the whole the game was very
raegedly played by Princeton. Time
and again the Tigers lived up to their
oldtime regulations for securing more
penalties than their opponents, going
back repeatedly to-day for ofside plays
until the penalties totaled 1o5 yards.
Princeton also made two bad fumbles.
and tried only four passes, two Of
which were most unsuccessful. Ma
chine work was iamentably lacking to
day and Princetons gains were largely
due to the individual genius Of few
men. Lourie, Clarity, Newly and Keck
all played brilliantly at times, but lit
tie or no team play was in evidence. 81
