PR|NCETON'S GRID LIST
UNLIKE THAT OF 1922

PRINCETON. y. J., January 12.-
Princetons foot ball schedule for the
1928 season, just announced by the
athletic committee. presents a COM
plete revision from last year. A num-
Der of radical changes have been
made and the important games with
colleges other than Harvard and Yale
will be with teams which the Tigers
did not meet during this season. The
newcomers include Georgetown,
Notre Dame and the Navy.
The schedule in some respects is
similar to the one Of 1921, when the
Orange and Black connected with the
Navy and Annapolis and met a team
from west of the Aleghanies repre-
senting the University of Chicago
The games with the Navy and Yale
will be the only ones to take the
Tiger from his lair. and the new sta
dium in Baltimore will be graced with
the first affair and the bowl in New
Haven will be the scene of the latter.
The agreement with the Navy, IL is
understood here. is home and home
affair and the Midshipmen will jour
ney to the stadium in 1924.
1t has been some years since Prince
ton and Georgetown met, and in the
gridiron histories of. the two insti-
tutions there has been but two con-
tests.
The Notre Dame struggle promises
to be big drawing card, as Coach
Rockne's men have made an envia BILE
reputation during the last few years
and should be foemen worthy of the
Nassau steel. In addition this will
mark the first clash between the two
universities.
The report that William Roper had
resigned or signified his intention TO
resign as head coach was denied by
Dean Howard McClenahan, chairman
of the board of athletic control, by
the officials of the athletic associa-
tion and by Roper himself.
Il have not given it a thought" the
Tiger mentor declared on long-dis-
tance phone from Philadelphia.
The schedule follows:
October 6-JOhns Hopkins.
October 13-GeorgetOwn.
October 2O-Notne Dame.
October T-Navy at Baltimore.
November 3-Swarthmore.
November 10-Harvard.
November 17-Yale at New Haven.
