 CAMBRIDGE. Nov. S.-Princeton comeback to one of the greatest mo- ments of gridiron glory she has ever known today and under crimson sky sent Harvard down to the most crushing defeat in the 47 years of rivalry between these two ancient foes.
 Out of the depths of mediocrity and disappointment the Tigers-eleven fight ing. irresistible junglemen-rose to heights of astonishing brilliancy to oyerwhelm Harvard by 34 to in one of the most sensational upsets football annals have ever recorded.
 Banked around the sides of the Harvard stadium, vast crowd of 53,- 'OOO had come in expectation of liar yard victory, for the Crimson ruled a decided pre-game favorite, but instead if was thrown into a frenzy by come hack as spectacular as it was startling and effective. Instead of seeing the yaunted power of Harvard's attack moving through Tiger array that had shown little early season promise, the throng saw the Crimson after a briet stand for one period, stunned, then de- moralized and beaten back by an Orange and Black avalanche.
 Tiger Damage Great
 After the first period, when liar yards stubborn defense twice thrust hack Tiger drives, the Cri!lsOn had nothing capable of checking their fierce antagonist who dashed with stunning power on all sides and with the swift ness of lightning. Touchdowns in the second and third periods. and two Tn the fourth, intermingled with field goals in the second and fourth periods, rep resented the toll of Tiger damage.
 It became a route as the shadows orept over the giant amphitheter, con tin,laI sweep of streaking orange and l,lack jerseys over the chalk line. And when the final whistle blew, Princeton's cohorts, already whipped to a frenzled bitch. swept down on the gridiron Ill a wild outbrust of enthusiasm. Around the field the wildly excited mob surged, marching behind buffeted Princeton band and all but uprooted the Crimson goal posts that during the afternoon had seemed an irresistible magnet to Tiger ball carriers.
 w No Victory So Decisive
 Over the stretch of years since Harv- ard and Princeton began their rivalry in 1877 no victory has been recorded as decisive as that of today. Only twice before has a score rivalilns to- days Tiger total been run up and on each of these occasions when. Prince ton also was triumphant, the margin ot victory was not so great. In loo4 Princeton won, 34 to 6, while five years later the Tiger scored 4l to 10. Princeton now has a margin of l5 vic tories to nine for Harvard while three ties have figured in the P clashes be- tween them.
 Out of obscurity, a new Tiger hero came into the fray this afternoon to dominate triumph that has few grid iron parallels. This vital spark in the Princeton dynamo was Ted Williams, 21-year-old quarterback, of Stamford, Conn.,, a product of Mercersburg acad- emy.
 Coming into the fray early in the second period when Coach Bill Roper switched to his lightweight" back field. Williams was flashing figure in the victorious Tiger drive that marked the remainder of the game. Scoring two tOuchdowns himself, Will Hams was the outstanding star of slashing offensive. He had able sup of Jake Slagle, the ramming line drives of Caldwell and Weekes, and the knife like thrusts of Dignan and Gilligan, be- hind line that consistently outcharged the Crimson forwards.
 It was a great moment for Williams when he left the game toward the close after piloting his team to an invincible lead A year ago, this youngster play ing his first game against Harvard, came close to turning the tide of Tiger dnfnnt uhen in iectad n few minutes he
