Make the Final Points.
Cleaves was shot through the left side
Of the Maroon line for Ave yards-and
the touchdown seemed imminent, But
Colgate braced. Cleaves tried again.
This time he was hurled back for a loss
of five yards. IL was third down and
eight yards to go but the Tigers decided
to discard the rushing game and the air
attack-all in favor of the boot Of
Smith.
Smith dropped back. kicked fiel3
goal from Is yards-chalked up three
more points for Old Nassau and settled
the issue beyond all doubt. The shad-
ows were seeping into the stadium fast
There was only another minute left.
Princeton kicked off to Colgate. Col

received the kick and ran it back thirty
yards TO midfield Then the whistle, the
finish of as fine a football game as has
been seen at this stage of the season in
some years.
For Princeton came the satisfaction
of having beaten a team which had the
better combination in nearly every fea-
ture except the backs. Only once was
AOlEaLG
savored Of luck and that was in the
second period, just before Cleaves made
his great run. As Colgate, stopped,
punted on the fourth down, Treat of
Princeton was caught offside. and the
Maroon again put the leather into play
for the first down and again went sail
ing down the field through center,
through the guards and off the tackles.
That was Colgate's lone break in its
favor.
Colgate GeneraIship Poor.
AS for Princeton, fortune was smiling
On it at every turn. An ally of this
tickle dame was Colgate's poor general
ship. Whenever the Maroon was in full
cry and seemed set for score through
its highly efficient rushing attack San
ford had recourse to the dangerous for
ward pass. Always the pass fZzled and
pulled the Tigers out of a bad situation.
Just how great Colgate's superiority
vas in advancing the ball may be real
i2ed from the fact that, while Princeton
rushed the leather only thirty-siX yards
-twenty-one in the first half and only
fifteen in the second-Colgate went
sma shing through for a total of ISL
yards. 1t gained ninety-two yards by
eighty-nine in the second half Colgate
earned ten first downs-fve in each
reriod-while Princeton earned only one
IN the first half and two in the second.
Colgate may lay its defeat not so
n uch to the Cleaves run and his COM
pletion of the pass as to its own in
ability to handle the ball cleanly. 1t
fumbled away one golden chance after
another. 1t was tumble, tumble. one
misplay after another. until the Colgate
men absolutely declined to have any,
thing to do with the leather when
Princeton kicked it. 1t permitted every
punt to roll until it came to a dead
stop. This ineptness made sad con-
trast with the Maroons terrific rushing
attack.
Bezdek's influence Seen.
From the very start Colgate showed
great ability with the screen and the
hidden ball. 1t was easy to trace the
Hugo Bezdek influence on Dick Har-
low, the new coach at Colgate, who Is
Penn State man and was assistant to
Bezdek for several seasons. Herman

Then they made what looked like a

attack-pretty to watch and analyze
from the top row OF the big stadium
When that Colgate team learns how to
handle the ball cleanly it is going TO be
considerable outfit in any company.
The Colgate line played rings around
Bill Roper's first defense. Welch. Leon

defense and all worked well on attack
Colgate directed most of its thrusts off

Snivery's position Princetons line
looked very poor indeed in the first
half. but. as the game went on, It
seemed to find itself. Roper apparently
spilled some iron into the souls of the
linemen between halves.
What looked like the most costly error
in generalship on the part OF Colgate
came in the first period. The Maroon
