PRINCETON. Oct 14-Throwng off
tackler after tackler, he streaked
seventy-nne yards for touchdown
after intercepting n forward pass.
Jack Cleaves recordede that startling
feat for a much harried and harassed
Princeton football team against
lethal Colgate eleven this afternoon.
Not content with that achievement,
which came in the second quarter.
Cleaves, the irrepressible. caught a
twenty-eight yard forward pass from
Snively in the final period and placed
the Tigers in position to get three
more points through a drop kick by
Ken Smith from the Is yard mark.
Princeton won by a score Of 10 to 0.
but 1t was as scared a Princeton team
as Old Nassau has seen at this stage
of the season since Colgate whipped
the Tigers in 1919 by Z to 0. 1t was a
frightened Princeton eleven-and a
lucky one, too.
But Then Came CIeaves.
Outplayed and outrushed; = fooled re-
peatedly by the highly deceptive quality
of the Colgate attack, which was
modelled after tnat made famous by
Penn State; hurled back time after time
| by a stalwart line the Princeton COM
bipation appeared to be headed for GER
! tain defeat.
But then came Cleaves.
Colgate had gone smashing through
tackle for one first down after another.
Colgate, standing only twenty-one yards
from the Tigers goal line. with its
rushing game working like a charm,
! suddenly turned to the aerial attack.
But then came Cleaves.
AS Sanford. the Maroon quarterback.
hurled a forward pass over the Prince
ton line while Childs broke around to
take the ball, Cleaves darted into the
thick of a fighting. snarling mass,
clutched the ball as it seemed destined
to reach Colgate hands, and, In thrice,
was off on his long dash for glory.
Glory it was-and Colgate again had
erred.
On Goes CIeaves.
Cleaves cut over to his left. For the
| first time in the battle-one of the very
| few occasions during the entire game
| Princeton threw out a defensive line
which resembled the Tigers interfer-
ence of last season and the year be-
fore.
Ten yards, and a Colgate man, ready
to throw himself on the flying Tiger,
was flung aside.
Twenty yards. Maroon clad human
cast himself in the path of the DASH
ing Cleaves. only to see the Princeton
| ian leap over him and continue on his
way.
| Fifty yards and another Colgate man
threw himself at Cleaves Cleaves cast
him from him. 10000 voices echoed
through the Palmer Stadium-20. 900 in
termingled applause for another Prince
ton hero and beseechment for a Colgate
Titan to rise to the occasion.
But Cleaves was not to be downed.
Twenty yards from the line. still an
other Colgate man broke through the
! Tiger interference to make the usual
| futile attempt. Cleaves. hugging the
left side of the field. at last crossed
| the goal line and, as he swung around.
fell in heap exhausted. Clutching the
ball he lay there gasping for breath
while Princeton. with the scare gone,
cheered n mighty cheer of relief.
Princeton elected TO try for the addi-
tional point by a drop kick and. with
Ken Smith doing the booting, got the
seventh point. Soon afterward the
half ended with the Tigers holding the
ball at midfield. In that half Princeton
had been outrushed by ninety-two yards
/ to fifteen, but Colgate erred in general
ship and lacked the punch to put over "A
score against set OF Tigers who were
making up for their glaring deficen-
| cies, particularly In the line, by their
clean aggressiveness and never-say-dic
spirit
|
Cleavess second brilliant contribution
! TO Princeton's success came on the
fourth down. with the Tigers stopped in
| their attempt TO rush the ball and Col
gate surging madly always threaten
ing. always fighting. 1t was toward
the close Of the game when the re-
markable sniyely. Nhe Easts greatest
thrower of a football. went back while
the Tiger line spread.
IL was formation used very often by
the Colgate teams OF other years, par
ticularly- during the days OF Anderson
as quarterback. II was desperate
play, but the Tigers had to take n
gamble. Colgate was trailing by seven
points. but II still was very much in the
hght-still on the alert and mighty
dangerous
SO Snively fell back and threw that
ball az only Snively can throw IT,
Princeton was in its own territory and a
miscue would have been costly. As
Snively hurled the leather Cleaves
dashed out TO receive Il. Three Col
gate players swooped on him like
hawks. but Cleaves was too quick. He
pulled the ball out Of the air, completed
forward pass for a gain of twenty
eight yards and placed Princeton only
eight yards from the Maroons fnai
chalk mark.
Princetonians. not content with these
seven points. shrieked for additional toll
because of those anxious minutes they
had been put through by the fighting
Colgate eleven. Another touchdown"
they howled down TO their standard
bearers. But that second touchdown
was not to be. Colgate made one of its
two great stands OF the game--the lone
