Evening star., 1933-11-20


r chock full OF volcanic eruptions,
tidal waves and tornadoes. you
might as well pass the rose and
the oleaster to Saturdays casualty list.
No less than seven united, unbeaten
teams came romping on various fields OF
snow and sun, ice and fog, and by
nightfall four Of these were singing,
1--WE are headed for the last roundup"
Oregon, Nebraska and Georgia fell
with the crash Of triple avalanche
and Michigan ran into scoreless tie.
To complete the pageant. Iowa
swarmed all over unbeaten Purdue,
Notre Dame scored and beat Northwest
ern, while Army and Princeton had to
wait for the closing quarter to score.
It would be difficult from all this
scramble to pick out the largest shock
Southern California's crushing defeat of
an unbeaten Oregon team, Iowa's gal
liant gallop over Purdue, or Auburn's
wild ride over Georgia.
. Minnesota was rated even with Mich
igan, so that result was no shock. In
the same way Oregon State and Ford
ham were supposed to be on par and
only two amazing plays sent the Ram
to another defeat. But few expected
Georgia Tech to outplay Alabama q big
part Of the way and lead most Of the
route, and few figured Tennessee fast
and powerful enough 10 run up 33
points against Vanderbilt.
At least there was one note OF con-
sistency. Princeton and little Centenary
kept their goal lines uncrossed.
The Tiger Scare.
THE fast-moving Tiger from Mas
saus jungletown came bounding
through again. but 1t was q closer
call than Nassau expected.
For the greater part Of three periods
a fast, strong Princeton team was out
played by a berserk Navy outfit that
literally wore itself out in the fury
of its attack and defense.
Navy flame and DASH added to the
magnificent kicking of Bill Clark, had
Princeton on its heels until the turn
came in the fourth quarter. Even
lateral, the star play Of the day, that
wiped out at the goal line by de-
termined Navy stand.
With the fourth quarter waning Navy
had the ball near midf1eld. The turn
came when Lea so badly hurried Navy
passer that his wild peg sailed into
the Navy line, giving Princeton the
ball. Even then the Tiger had'to move
| into the air route through the milk
white fog to break through.
In addition to a strong line the Tiger
had too many fast, versatile backs to
be choked down all afternoon. There
were Macmillan, q great kicker; lie
Van, Kadlic, the Kaufmans, Rulon-
Miller, Constable and Spofford-eight
all told-and they were all good. LIE
Vans speed and leg power make him
one Of the most dangerous backs of the
year. He Is an endless threat, fore
caster Of trouble.
The main point is that Princeton held
'the even tenor Of her way" undefeated,
united and unscored against, which in
this wild and woolly season is some
thing to think about.
Although the Navy had the call
through most Of the first three periods,
even the Midshipmen's gallant charges
never threatened in any serious way.
Moving toward the Tiger goal line. each
Navy advance was suddenly and rudely
halted by Nassau defense that quickly
developed new power.
The amount Of an-around stun
Princeton had left for her fourth
| quarter action showed again the tre-
mendous amount Of reserve strength
| the Tiger carries this year.
