PRINCETON AND

Tiger Plans Downfall Of
Rockne Machine at
Palmer Stadium


PRINCETON, N. j.. Oct. 25.--
Princeton today awaited with
dangerous calm the hour when It
will send a grimly determined
Tiger outfit on the field to face
Notre Dame In what the boxing
game would term "a grudge
fight"
No stage villain. With nefarious
daughter, ever plotted another's
downfall az Princeton Is doing at
this moment.
A year ago, Notre Dame came
to Tigertown and few hours later
departed, leaving behind It a col.
lege community still reeling under
the blow Of a 25-to-2 defeat. This
was nothing less than lez majestic,
as the big three figure things, and
the Tigers today are out for their
revenge.
They probably won't get It.
Notre Dame, facing its second big
eastern team in as many Satur.
days. will step out for the game in
a somewhat crippled condition but
It still remains both the senti.
mental and the speculative
favorite. The backbone OF its de-
tense lost several vertebrae when
Adam Walsh begged down with a
pair Of broken hands but Notre

ming attack Of the great Notre
Dame backfield. Studldreher, Nil.
Ter, Crowley and Leyden, and by
his choice of Bartell over McMillen
for center, indicated that he plans
/ to match speed with speed. But
Princeton. although a much i'm.
proved outfit over 1928, may find
that it lacks the downright class
Of the Irish.
It's best chance seemed to be
that Notre Dame may have been
so badly punished in the Army
game that the fine edge Of its
speed may be gone today. The
Irish have a comparatively light
team and cannot stand up under
too much pounding. The heaviest
man on the South Bend eleven
weighs, 1876 pounds. The Princeton
line alone averages 1S9.
But a little thing like weight
doesn't concern Notre Dame. 1t
