PUNCHY,
DOWNING AMHERST
Resembles Tiger of Old in
22-0 Win in First Game
Under CrisIer.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
DRINCETON, N j., October l.
- Princeton's first on-alumnus-
coached foot hall team, at times
resembling the tiger for which it
has long been known, jumped away to
running start in its 1882 campaign
today by smothering gallant Amherst
eleven 22-0.
The men Of Nassau, now drilled by
Fritz Crisler, displayed to about 10000
fans deceptive line and backfeld shift,
single wing back attack and better
tackling than they have exhibited in
many years.
AS result, they never gave the Lord
Jeffs CHARGE to get started. The
Tiger line, led by Captain F. Tremaine
Billings of Pittsburgh. rushed every Am
herst play and allowed only two first
downs They showed need of more ex-
perience with the more intricate type
of offense which on several occasions
opened up holes that let their backs go
through for nine first downs
TACK JAMES, who played only in the
Amherst game a year ago. the only
1881 engagement won by the Orange
and Black, before he suffered broken
ankle, and Mlt Draudt, outstanding
backfeld performer year ago, split
honors with Tom johnson in ball carry
ing.
James shook off severall tacklers In
25-yard prance for the first touchdown
IN tho fret play If the SncpOd Oll1rter
and Draudt went off on several SINH
lar sprints Johnston got off for the
longest run of the day, taking a pick on
his own 35-yard line mark and dashing
behind perfect interference to Amherst's
5-yard line. Draudt made his six
pointer a moment later
The hard rushing Of the Tiger line
resulted in the third touchdown in the
third quarter and also was responsible
for the two points by an Amherst
safety.

Local Banks To
Buy Shepaug Bonds
Will Finance $l5O,OO0 Of 100000 Issue Recon-
mended By Finance Board

Four hundred thousand dollars
worth of Shepaug water bonds were
recommended for sale yesterday
afternoon at the regular meeting
of the board Of finance. Sanction
OF the aldermen is now needed be-
fore the issue can be advertised.
One Of the interesting features of
this sale Is the fact that the local
banks have agreed to pool $150,000
and take that amount of bonds In
order to enable the engineering de-
partment to resume operations on
the Shepaug project. Work there
was halted late In 1881 when
available funds became exhausted.
Even though the bond market at
the present time Is not the best that
might be expected, 1t Is believed
that with the local bankers taking
$4,000 OF the bonds 1t ought to be
able to sell most, II not all, of the
remaining $250,000. Realizing that
all the remaining $25o,000 In bonds
may not be sold due to market
conditions, the finance commission
ers' recommendation calls for sale
of "all or part" Of the 100000 is
sue.
About $4,000 is needed, It is
estimated, to complete the dam on
the Shepaug river. This dam was
begun over year ago but IL has
not yet been carried to height
sufficiently high enough to divert
the Shepaug river water through
the seven-mile tunnel to the valley
of the West branch by gravity. This
Is desired, not only to make 1t pos
sible to avoid pumping but also to
solidify the city's rights on the
shepaug river. Delay Is not de-
sired.
The entire finance board agreed
to the sale OF the bonds. Mayor
Frank Hayes explained that the
Shepaug river water Is necessary IL
the city Is to be safeguarded
against a shortage. He told of two
instances last year when 1t was
necessary to pump from the
Shepaug into the valley Of the West
branch in order to keep up an ade-
quate supply Of water for Water
bury. He stressed the need Of push
ing the Shepaug dam. As for the
proposed second dam In the valley
Of the West branch and the Sec
ond pipe line work, 1t was pointed
out, these activities can await the
completion Of the work on the
Shepaug river. :.
The local banks will ask only 5
per cent interest on the $15O,O00
In Shepaug bonds that they will
buy. This, 1t was pointed out at
the meeting, is good Ngure In
view of the fact that the munich
pality has to pay per cent on its
temporary loans.
Controller Daniel J. Leary re-
ported to the board that during
January money amounting to $116,-
159, applicable to the surplus re-
source sinking fund, was collected.
This represented $49,093 from the
second district and $67,066 from
the first district and was made up
of back taxes, delinquent water
rents, interest and lien fees and
back assessments. The controller
explained that a large part of this
S116,00O was received in the form
Of "offsets" to bills the delinquent
taxpayers had sent him for supplies
or services furnished the municipal
ity.

that January's receipts at the Ham,

and that expenditures were $4,000,

II HAVE said that, IN es2Sidering
body action, the vital necessity for
the player to remember is that his
weight must be moving with the
clubhead during the downward or hit
ting stroke. Briefly, this is the thing
to be accomplished; all else regarding
the movement Of the body during the
backswing merely leads up to this one
point-to swing the player into position
to do this one thing.
This is exactly what a person does
not do when he arrives at the top of
his swing with most of his weight rest
ing upon his left foot. The best start
ing position, at address, is a comfort
able one with the weight of the body
about evenly divided between the two
feet. During the backswing then, this
equal distribution may be maintained,
or there may be a shifting of a part
Of the burden to the right foot. pro-
vided the shift is handled correctly
without drawing the head backward
But there must be no movement from
the right foot to the left until the for
ward stroke has begun.
The player who moves his weight
to the left foot going back must move
