PRINCETON, Oct. 90
Six minutes after the shrill
blast of the referees whistle
had cut the chilly autumn
air and brought 10000 spec
tators to their feet, the great
Notre Dame band of "Micks'' from
Indiana landed the punch that
knocked out the fighting Princeton
Tigers here this afternoon. The
final score was:
Notre Dame. %; Princeton, 2.

Knute Rockne. the wizard coach of
the "Micks" told his squad before
the game started. And they did.
When young Don Miller skirted
the Princeton right end and ran
twenty yards for a touchdown be-
fore the crowd had settled into
place. Notre Dame got the jump
and when the final whistle blew.
Notre Dame still had It.
Completely out-played. out-speeded
and out.smarted. Princeton was
saved from a shutout only by a free
attack play in the second period
when a blocked punt resulted in a
safety. the smallest point that can
be scored in football.
Crowley, the Notre Dame back, at
tempted TO punt from his own goal
line. Smith, the Princeton end,
broke through the line and charged
in on him. The ball bounded from
Smiths chest and rolled back of the
Notre Dame goal line. Crowley
grabbed the rolling ball and made
n desperate attempt to get back but
he fell back of his goal and it
Tigers.
Princeton went on the field pre-
pared to beat down the far famed
attack of tho "Micks" but Notre
Dame completely demoralized the
Tigers by rushing u with straight
football.

Princeton had n great chance to
score in tho third period when Crum
grabbed a ball Crowley had fumbled
as he was starting over the Tiger
line. Crum, like the Poes and Whites
before him. started a wild dash for
his goal line. but was overtaken
and downed after he had cleared
sixty yards.
with the ball on their 1o.yard
line. Notre Dame showed some great
defensive power and held the Tigers
for downs.
Again in the fourth period Notre
Dame marched down the field with
Maher. Layden and Crowley tore
the Tiger line to pieces. A little for.
ward pass, Layden to Crowley ad-
vanced tho ball to the twenty yard
line and Maher went. around end
for tho touchdown.
Late in the final quarter. Layden
intercepted n pass from Sniveley
and ran forty yards for a touch
down.
In kicking only. did Princeton
have an edge on Notre Dame, the
punting Of Legendre and Van
Gerblg being the only feature OF the
Tigers game.
Today's victory over Princeton.
on the heels of the conquest Of the
Army last week. gave Notre Dame
the record Of being the only western
team to ever win two victories over
major eastern teams in one season.
