BY JOE WILLIAMS

ATEW YORK, Oct. 1O.-That was
4 no stuffed tiger the Columbia
Lion subdued over the weekend. On
the contrary, it was a very virile
beast. Under the coaching Of Fritz
Crisler, Princeton football has made
a fine come back.
Even in defeat, the Tiger dis
played plenty of class. So much so
IN fact that If the two teams were
to come together again later in the
season there is no telling what
might happen. The game with Co
lumbia was to be the first labora-
tory test for the remodeled team
the first major trial for the Crisler
regime. The result was gratifying
enough. Even the professional scep-
tics admitted the team seemed def
nitely on its way back to greatness.
II there was power to the Tiger then It
naturally follows that Lou Littles Column

blanS look even better than they did a

IT was the first important game
a played under the new rules in
the big town, and to the casual OBJ
server there was no difference what
ever. AS Tammany Young so aptly
said: Its still looks like murder to

The officiating gentlemen firmly
enforced the legislation concerning
illegal use of hands with the result
that the whistle was screaming
practically all afternoon.

care to argue that the Blue and White

AS Is usually the case. the spotlight was

THIS week the Tiger goes to the

which is of more than passing in

moment, the prospects are that
Cornell will be the most dangerous

schedule. The engagement with the
Tiger therefore will give a line on
the relative abilities of all three
teams.
