Evening star., 1932-10-09

Lions crushing paw carried
more destruction than the
Tigers fangs today. For
Columbia'S Lion trimmed Prince
tons scrappy Tiger, 20 to 7, in one
of the best early october games
seen in many years.
Thirty thousand people saw the Blue
and White float above the Orange and
Black as Cliff Montgomery dominated
the field. This triple-threat star in the
lions skin, running, kicking and pass
ing all afternoon, was more than
Nassaus defense could stop along the
ground or through the air. But for all
that Princeton fought game and gal
liant uphill fight against a better.
smoother team. Princeton proved that
the Tiger has come long way from
the doldrums of the last two years and
that Fritz Crisler and his staff have
done a fine job with material that viii;
bother anybody three weeks from now.
COLUMBIA got the jump in the first
~ period. when long pass from
Montgomery to Bromiski was
hooked to Tiger penalty of Is yards.
The game was full of action from
start to finish. The hot, Indian Sum-
mer air was full of foot balls. thrown
and kicked, in an open attack that
picked up most of the ground gained
on both sides.
Columbia got big jump around the
middle of the second period on touch
downs by the able Montgomery and
Schwartz. Montgomery's long quick
kick. forward pass from Montgomery
to Bromiski a Tiger penalty and
savage line thrust by the Lion captain
scored the first 6 points.
TRAILING. 13 to o, apparently in
i rout and facing an avalanche in
Blue and White, the Tiger came
with a snarl and a roar. A fine forward
from Kadlic to Bales opened the Tiger
attack and a moment later the fast,
hard running Bales dashed 40 yards
on a lateral to Columbia's 13-yard line.
Princeton's packed stands were now in
an uproar. They saw that Princeton
had no thought Of folding up without
q battle.
Columbia repulsed this attack and
Montgomery kicked out Of danger. But
once more the Tiger came clawlng his
way back. Kadlic's two forwards and
a lateral, from kadlic to Draudt, took
the ball in scoring distance. Columbia
stopped the first three charges, but on
the fourth attempt Bales swept around
Columbia's left end and then dived
through the air in desperate spring
for the goal line.
This Give just carried him over LOT
Princeton's only score.
It was a fine comeback after q
groggy start against a faster, smoother
team.
THERE still were number Of raw
J. spots in Princeton's play that an
other game or two should heal.
Tiger fumbling was costly on several oc-
casions and there were times when the
Tiger team was badly outguessed by
the smart Montgomery, who played a
lot of foot ball all afternoon.
In spite of these defects, to be ex-
pected in an early game on hot aft
ernoon, the Tiger showed more promise
of later season strength than he has
shown in years. Nassau has flock OF
first-class back material in Kadlic,
Bales, James, Draudt. PurneH and
others, Kadlic especially proving his
versatility as a good passer and strong
defensive back.
On one play Draudt took . lateral
out of the air with his bare right hand
while travelling at top speed. one Of the
high spots of the afternoon.
There is no questioning Columbias
au-around strength. This IS especially
true when Montgomery's inspiration Is
in the middle of the scene. He always
is dangerous. A fast. elusive ball car
rier. who is hard to bring down. His
passing was high class all through the
soggy, stesmy afternoon that was better
for swimming than it was for foot ball
The main flaw in Columbia's play was
the penalty habit.
