Chicago drummed a mournful
dtrge on the hide of desperate Prince
ton Tiger today.
Battered in the big Ten" almost as
badly as the Tiger in the East, the
Fascist of the Midwest moved through
Princeton with all the solemnity and
majesty of a funeral procession to bury
the Tiger in the dusk of q dreary day
by score of Is to Z.

brilliance of the East'S costun1ed
athletes. the Huskies of Chicago, tn r
hopes of victory little brighter than
their dead black uniforms. led the fa-
vored Tigers from the start in one of
the biggest intersectional duels of the
day. Though the cloud of black that
was Chicago broke occasional flashes
Of brilliance that left the issue never
in doubt.
Only once, in the second period, was
harraSsed Princeton, an indeciSive
punchless eleven most of the afternoon
able to pull itself together and show
some sort of power. Starting the game
with the second team, which Chicago
pushed all over the field, but couldn't
quite corner, Princeton sent big Ed
Wittmer, Scarlet, Bennett and Levick
into the fray In the second period and
managed to score her sole touchdown
Of the day.

Scarlet caught Chlcago'S quick kick
and ran "a yards to the enemy 45-yard
line. Blasting the Western line apart,
Wittmer and Scarlet punched to Cni-
Cages S-yard line with the aid OF two
pn-side penalties. After twice BENG
stopped Wittner was chased back al
most to midfield before he turned and
tossed q perfect pass into the arms OF
Lea. an end, in q cluster OF Chicago
men over the goal line.
Once that rush was over, the Prince
ton offense turned into Stngle-handeo
thrusts by Wittmer and the wild tor-
ward passes of Lowry, who found ms
best receiver in Jersild, an alert Chi
cago end, who intercepted three losses
in the final period.
Chicago got the jump at the start
when Bunge, a big tackle, blocked
Princeton punt on the 19-yard line,
chased the ball across the goal line, but
could not recover until it had passed
beyond the end zone for safety. After
the Tiger score, Chicago took immedi-
ate command and was never headed.

sonally took command of the field, with
the help Of Wattenberg, the slickest
forward passer on the field.

wattenberg found Vein, substitute
end. loose in Princeton territory early
IN the third period, and whipped him
a 16-yard pass to the 30-yard line. On
the very next play. Wattenberg teamed
with Vannice, who took long, loop
ing toss over the Princeton goal line
for Cticago's first touchdown.
A few seconds after Lowry missed
drop-kick to start the final period, this
same Vannice grabbed the ball on his
own 2O-yard line, broke through tackle,
ducked in behind q fine screen OF In
reference and raced 80 yards for the
final score. Bluhm, another star in the
Chicago backfleld, missed an attempted
field goal q few minutes later and the
scoring possibilities Of the day were
over.
The victory, second for Chicago in
the three-game series, that ran through
1921 and 1922, gave the Midwesterners
an edge with two wins and one defeat.
It was the third defeat of the season
for Princeton against one victory over
Amherst and tie with Navy.
