ship in running plays, which made
his work so brilliant in the St Am
brose game. but he was in the
battle at all times. The Geneseo
forward line played hard, ag-
gressiye game. and repeatedly
broke through TO throw the Prince
ton backs for losses.

easily the visitors star, and it was
his terrific line-Dlunging and
speed which kept his team in the
running He made approximately
two-thirds of the gains registered
| by Princeton.
