the I1gerS seven or their points, al
kicked field goal in the fourth perio
The Princeton victory was we'll
earned. because Princeton had greater
versatility and more guile. and more
skill in tackling, in forward passing
and in the kicking game. Colgate
made more gains through theSline with
an attack but little varied. and consist
ing Of crisscrosses and straight jabs.
It was harder hitting offense than
anything shown by Nassau, but hadn't
the complement of skill otherwise to
give it scope and deception.
In the early minutes of the game
Colgate had the Tigers backing up fast
and hammered up to Princeton's 49,
yard line. A forward pass failed just
here, and from then on Colgate didn't
get that near again. The Tigers pulled
themselves together nicely after
wabbly start, and with little offense,
save forward passing, kicking and the
taking advantage Of opportunities,
played encouraging football for
squad which has good ways to go to
become top-notcher.
1t was a very vivid and gallant run
of Cleaves, the 85-yard fight diago-
nally across the field until twenty-five
yards from home, then straight ahead
to the last chalk line.
Colgate's March Toward Goal
Colgate had carried the ball steadily
from the Princeton 48-yard line to the
27-yard line, when Mason, with
straight thrust, went four yards more.
This was the closest to the Tiger goal
line the Maroon had been since the
first period. Checked here, Colgate
tried forward pass, and Cleaves came
against his chest. He kept right on
pounded across the field on the bias,
were close enough to tackle him, and
some did tackle him, but he shook them
all loose. He wasn't so very fast, but
he wrenched loose or twisted away
from all obstacles and he kept his feet
When he got to the other side line,
where he couldn't take it on the oblique
any further, he pointed straight ahead
and his interferers bumped eff few
pursuers. The last twenty yards were
the easiest.
Muffing Of punts, letting kicks roll
and poor tackling were costly faults in
Colgate's work, but a spirited running
game, which found the Tiger ends weak
and tackles uncertain in line defense,
found the New Workers aggressors for
q large part of the time. Colgate
carried the ball forty yards for one
stretch and then forward pass
fizxled. Princeton was incomparably
better at running back punts, as we'll
as at punting.
After a poor kickoff by Princeton
Colgate opened out with short rushes.
Gains off tackle and a quarterback
plunge through center, with forward
pass, Sanford to Beardsley, kept the
ball moving and the Tigers scratching
gravel.
This march was checked, but re-
sumed after punt and went we'll un-
til on Princeton's thirty-yard line
misguided forward pass reached the
goal line uncompleted.
Newly Makes 30-yard Run
. The Tigers were full of life after
their escape. and Newby, who with
Cleaves, was an excellent performer
for Princeton, illumined the next few
moments with a run Of thirty yards on
catching a punt The playing was
transferred to Colgate territory, and
the forward passing game took the
leather to Colgate's fourteen-yard line.
A line play was tried on the fourth
down with yard to go and was spilled
all over the place. The ball went to
Colgate on downs.
The last named play came in the
second quarter, which had other lively
happenings. Cleayes ripped through
once for fourteen yards. He fell while

him and he picked himself up and went
on without taking time to brush his
Clothes, Princeton next tried that
spread-out formation of theirs for a
forward pass. The trick worked bril-
liantly later, but this time it didn't.
The receiver muffed the ball, missing
great chance for touchdown.
Colgate took the ball on downs and
Sanford punted. Back came punt and
back went another from Sanford.
Newby dashed to Colgate's twenty five
yard line with this one. 1t didn't do
any good, for tumble at center gave
the ball to Colgate. Not only that, but
the Maroon player who recovered it
bolted to Princeton's forty -eight-yard
line with it.
Colgate raised the mischief with
Princeton for a spell, gaining every
crack and being on the twenty-seven-

forward pass and transformed bright
Colgate outlook into touchdown for
Princeton.
Maroon's Longest Advance
In the third period Colgate made it's
longest march. The Maroon men broke
through in torrent and sfneared the
Princeton forward passer on the fourth
down. That gave the ball to Colgate
on the latter's 4o-yard line and old
Nassau was treated to another rough
siege. Short, savage jolts opened holes
and the Messrs. Herman and Mason dug
in for gains. After forty yards of ad-
vance Princeton called halt and Col
gate made an incompleted forward
pass.
Colgate didn't hold securely while
trying to protect her kicker. In the
fourth quarter the Tigers seized the
ball on partly blocked punt. On their
4S-yard line the Jerseymen spread out
for a forward pass. 1t was the usual
formula, Sniyely to Newly, with the
receiver one of three men at one END
of the wide spread line.
Nineteen yards were netted from the
maneuver, but a tumble spoiled the
next play, Leonard getting she pigskin
for Colgate. Princeton was offside and
Townsend and, Mason. strong runners,
picked up nine yards in hurry. Then

to his 45-yard line.
