Pennsylvania, rallied from a jittery
start today to strike swiftly for q
ird-period touchdown and beat the
Navy, Z to o. before crowd Of
$1,000 fans who jammed Palmer
Stadium.
Navy, doing everything but cross
ing the goal line as the Sailors piled
up a 12-to-3 margin in first downs,
experienced its second straight week
Of defeat, due chiefly to the combined
effects of poorly executed passes and
Q sharp Tiger defense.
Spectacular returns of kicks by
Jack White. speedy Princeton half
back, paved the way for the games
only touchdown early in the third
quarter. White electrified the unex-
pectedly big crowd by racing 81 yards
to Navy's 15-yard stripe with Irwin
Fixes kickoff. The Sailoss halted
the Tiger attack on their 6-yard
stripe, but White returned Sneed
Schmidt's punt 26 yards before he
was brought down again on the Is.

Sandbach Fools Navy.
Z EN- SANDBACH, Tiger field gen.
~ eral, capitalized this opportunity
personally by crossing the Navy goal
line, around his own left end, on q
prettily executed "hidden-ball play"
Sandbach dashed 13 yards to score
as the Middies, completely bamboozled
by play that looked an end
around" discovered too late that the
Princeton quarterback had sneaked
of with the pigskin. Sandbach also
booted the extra point from place.
ment.
Only a brilliant tackle, from be-
hind, by Nays Schmidt prevented
White from scoring on the games
most spectacular play. The Tiger
back, taking the ball on his own 4
yard line, had the aid of superb
blocking as he zig-zagged past mid
field. With Is yards to go he had a
clear field, but Schmidt overhauled
him with sprint finish and saved
the Navy goal line temporarily.
Navy lost no time piling up sta
tistical advantage. The Midshipmen
outrushed and outpassed Princeton by
as decisive margin as they did Yale
the previous week, but again things
went wrong in the clutches" Bril-
liant punting by Chick Kaufman and
Tom Mountain pulled the Tigers out
of several holes. -Four interceptions
of Navy passes otherwise told the
story of Nays failure.
Cullinan Checks Tars.
WHITE. who played star defen-
Nv sive as well as offensive game
for the Tigers, intercepted two Navy
passes, but Steve Cullinan, the Okla
homa boy who had big day at center
without missing a minute Of play,
plucked the pass that threatened to
do the most damage. It came on the
first play after Frank Case, Navy
back, had recovered Dan Hills tumble
on Princeton's 16-yard line. Bill In
gram gambled with q short aerial
over the line, but Cullinan rushed in,
grabbed the ball and ran to the Tiger
21-yard line. :.
That was the closest the Navy ever
came to the Tiger goal. although the
sailors penetrated to Princeton's IA
in the first period before losing the
ball on downs and threatened twice
in the fourth quarter with Ingram
tossing passes all over the premises.
Princeton's best chances to win by
q bigger margin were wasted in the
second period. Kaufman's "coffin
corner" kick caroming out on Navy's
2-yard line, combined with three pass
interceptions to keep Navy in the
hole. The Tigers reached Nays 13
and 1s yards lines only to be stopped
in their tracks by Nays spirited de-
tense.
Weather, Not Crowd, Is Balmy.
WHETHER Influenced by the balmy
A' weather or by the admonition
against drinking issued early this week
by President Dodds of Princeton, the
big crowd refrained from much show
of exuberation. Only a few stray
whiskey bottles were left in the stands
by spectators who needed something
besides the weather and the game to
