GARRITY AND LOURIE
NEEDED BY TIGERS
Both Recovering and Are Elk.
pected to Be in Lineup
Against Harvard.

Special Despatch to THE Nuw YORK HER.Ln.
PRINCETON. y. j.. Oct. 2S.-The de-
feated Princeton football team. which
fell victim to Chicago's driving attack
Saturday, left almost Immediately after
the game for thirty-six hours OF rest
and quiet at the Pine Valley Country
Club near Philadelphia.
Head Coach Bill Roper. Keene Fitz-
patrick and the other members of the
coaching staff accompanied the players
In their exodus. Four gridiron warriors,
i6luding Al Wittmer and Peck Euwer
qDdld not get away so soon. but left
this morning TO join their team mates
No injuries of consequence are believed
to have been incurred
The squad and coaches are due back
tomorrow morning and will Immediately
start to work in desperate attempt to
present strong front when Harvard Is
met in Palmer Stadium less than two
weeks hence. Little thought or attention
Is to be devoted to the Virginia gam
to be played next Saturday, as victories
against the Crimson and Blue would go
far toward wiping 1ut the sting OF two
successive defe0 at the hands OF the
Navy and Chicago.
There Is little optimism at this stage
OF affairs after the defeat Of yesterday
1t Is fully realized that Princeton has
not scored a point since Lourie and Gar
rity have been out OF the game. and on
the shoulders of these two crippled stars
rest the chances Of victory in the re-
naming three contests. Wittmer's and
Gilroy's work have kept down the scor-
ing by opponents in both defeats, but no
offence has been put forward worthy of
the name. Ken Smith in his debut as a
regular back Saturday did fine work.
but was without assistance or suprort.
Prnceton's football fortunes for the
remainder Of the season are thought TO
depend .almost entirely on the recovery
OF Garrity and Lourie, and here is the
only encouraging feature. For both men
are now rapidly getting back TO form
and should be ut their best by Novem-
ber 5. II may be that Lourie will be
withheld from the Virginia game. to be
certain that he Is fresh for the Crimson.
The few remaining optimists cite the
season OF 1919 as their text, when n
crushing defeat was inflicted by West
Virginia the week before the Harvard
contest, and the Tigers were still able
to stage a wonderful comeback. Chey
believe that this week will see 4 rally
OF former stars TO help the coaches, and
that Princeton will take a new lease on
life.
Certain it is that Roper plans for a.
strenuous fourteen days before his men
trot on the gridiron against the unde-
feated Harvard. and that he will un-
leash everything he has thus far held
in reserve.
One OF the most remarkable aspects of
the Chicago game was the Princeton
strategy. There were none Of the ia
niliar wide dashes around end, few at
tempts at forward passes and almost
all the plays were straight line bucks !;
nor did Princeton attempt to hold the
ball. frequently kicking on the first or
second down. Chicago was meanwhile
employing with dizzy rapidity every trick
in their repertoire. It is generally be-
lieved here that Quarterback Euwer had
teen instructed TO launch his attack at
the opposing line, and to refrain from
the aerial game.
No shakeups are likely 10 take place
In the Princeton lineup. as Roper has
few IL any substitutes to be considered.
