The victory. the first ever earned
against the so-called big three" OF
the east by "a middle western team,
gave the Chicago contingent great
jos. The western triumph was not
expected by the followers OF the
Tiger team for they looked for a
Princeton victory by a close score.
Chicago played a great game. sell
dom Seing on the defensive. and
<her goal was never IN danger.
y While the whole Chicago eleven
.hayed magnificent football. several
% the men stood out above the
others. and among these Milton A.
Romney. OF Salt Lake City. Utah,
was the bright particular star It
was his unerring aim that gave the
western boys their three points in
tho second period and his sure catch
OF a forward pass in the final quar-
ter that added six points TO the
score. He was a giant in attack
sure on defense and when &c came
70 delivering the punch he did not
fail
The game did not produce any
thing radically new In football It
was straight, orthodox stuff from
end TO end II Chicago had any
startling. bewildering plays. she did
not reveal them. In fact. % some
Of the experts IL appeared that
Princeton, looking for tTicks and
dazzling stunts. was really fooled
by the simplicity OF the Chicago at
tack.
Princeton Fans ChagrIncd.
At times the game was dull be-
cause Of the absence Of any amount
or open play and the frequency
with which the contest was stopped
TO send in substitutes and to fix MP
the injured. Not many forward
passes were attempted.
The Princeton team was "a great
disappointment 90 it's followers.
They had hoped the team would
take a brace after its defeat by the
navy a week ago. but they were
doomed 20 disappointment before
the first half was over The team
as whole seemed TO lack the spirit
and dash usually shown by Tiger
elevens in "A big game
on the other hand Chicago show
ed wonderful strength. opening up
holes anywhere along the Princeton
line where ic chose 90 go through.
Chicago's first score came near
the close OF the second period. The
ball was worked from the Maroon
territory 10 within striking distance
of the Princeton goal. ROmney
made about 5 yards of the distance
By a stirring run around Pr!ncetOn's
left end and Is yard penalty for
unnecessary roughness by Baker,
who had gone into the game i'm the
second period. was inflicted against
the Tigers. Princeton also suffered
a two yard penalty FOR asking for
more time than the rules allowed
This brought the ball 20 Prince
toms five-yard line. The Tigers held
and then Bomney booted q field
goal from the 3 yard line.
ROmney Is Star.
The second score came in the
last period when Halfback Robert
Cole Of Oak Park. III. tossed a beau
tiful forward pass from the Prince
ton 25-yard line 20 Romney near the
hve-yard line. No one was near
enough 10 the Salt Lake City boy
as he made the catch and there
was tremendous cheering from the
Chicago rooters as he went over the
goal line for a touchdown. Capt.
Mcclure failed at goal. With this
score in the last minutes Of play all
hope OF Princeton winning went
glimmering.

game" said the veteran Chicago
coach. Alonzo Stagg. Even when
things were going badly. they kept
their heads Otherwise the score
