TIGERS DEFEAT IS

Football Experts Believe
Princeton Stars Could Not
Have Saved Game.
BY HENRY L.. FARRELL.

NEW YORK, oct. 24-Chicago' 5
defeat Of Princeton in the most i'm
portant intersectional game of the
season is still the talk of the east.
While there is some tendency 10
alibl the Tigers because Of the alb
sence Of Lourie and Clarity, the
western eleven is generally given
credit for a convincing victory
The smooth running, all-arounj
play Of Coach Stages eleven made
such an impression on the critics
that it is thought Princeton could
not have won with 100 percent
strength.
The impressive showing made by
Haven hoping that the old days of
glory for the blue are back. Har-
ward Outplayed by Penn State had
some characteristic Crimson luck
in esca ping defeat.

Cornell, so far, has produced the
best scoring machine in the east, GIL
Dobie's eleven having scored PSI
points against seven for its oppO-
nents in four games. Fordham has
made 1913 points and Penn State 161.
Although ne did not play Satur-
day, Capt. jim Riberson of Dart
mouth, is the leading individual
scorer. He has accounted for so
points, including touchjowns, 9
goals from touchdown and one field
goal. Zimmerman, Syracuse, has
scored 90 points and Kenyon of
Georgetown and Ramsey of Cornell,
have 81 each.

conference appears TO be between
