Y Chicago team gave Princeton
. tremendous scare for the
first 80 minutes OF their intersectional
battle today and then fell away be-
fore the Tigers superior power.
Trailing, 7 to 3, at the start Of
the second half, PrirNton drove re-
lentlessly through the Chicago line
to register two touchdowns and to
triumph, Is to 7. before 10000 specta-
tors.
When the game was over, a thou
sand or more spectators swarmed
around the Princeton goal posts, and
q general free-for-all fist fight en-
sued. The spectators either fought
among themselves or watched scores
Of separate battles. The slugging
continued for is minutes, as there
were no police TO break it UP. The
participants, with their clothes torn
and with black eyes and bloody noses,
finally marched away with the cross
bar. leaving the posts still erect.

PRINCETON, coached by Fritz
Crisler, who first saw q Tiger
team is years ago As q star end with
the Mafoons. gave the Chicago line a
terrific battering in the last two
periods. The Tiger eleven marched
10 yards on short smashes by Bill
Lynch, Jack Daniel and Dick Wells to
register six straight first downs, scor-
ing their first touchdown after Bill
Lynch had booted q beautiful Drop
kick from the n in the first period.
Wells climaxed the long drive by
sprinting around left end for the
score.
Princeton scored its second touch
down at the start of the fourth, when
Mountain, taking lateral from White,
raced 80 yards around left end to
score.
Maro0ns Score at Last.
THE Maroons. defeated twice pre-
viously without being able to score,
earned their first touchdown by play
ing harder and more alert foot ball
than their opponents in the first half
Early in the second period, Lou Ham
ity, Chicago fullback, blocked Noun
tain's punt on the Princeton "a and
pursued the ball into the end zone,
pouncing on 1t for a touchdown. The
Maroons' last big scoring chance, late
in the second period, ended when
Valorz' attempted field goal, from
the IS, sailed wide Of the uprights
after the Maroons had driven to the
Princeton 7.
Princeton's second-half superiority
was reflected by the statistics. The
Maroons' chief offensive threat was
Sollie Sherman, bouncing right half
back.

GEN.BRECK|NR|DCE.
TAKES POST SOON
Exchange of Command at
Quantico Is Scheduled
for June 80.

Maj. Gen. James G. Breckinridge Is
scheduled to take over command OF
the Marine Corps post at Quantico,
Va, on June 80. He has been COM
manding general Of the Headquarters.
Department Of the Pacific. stationed
at San Francisco. He Is coming east
aboard . freighter. He Is expected
to land at Baltimore shortly.
Since Gen. Breckinridge Is known
for having little liking for fuss and
feathers" 1t Is dubious Just what
honors will be paid him when the
exchange Of command takes place.
Customarily, l3-gun salute is paid
to q major general in the Marine
Corps and guard OF honor Is ac-
corded him. The ceremony Of ex-
changing commands is often done with
much eclat. but in the Marine Corps
the ritual is not considered as colorful
as In the Navy.
In all likelihood, the Marines sta
toned at Quantico will be drawn up
at review, so that Gen. Breckinridge
and his new command may oficially
meet. The officers will be presented
to the new commanding general, but
inasmuch as the Marine Corps Is a
comparatively small organization Gen.
Breckinridge will likely know most of
the senior officers by name.
The death Of Maj. Gen. Ben H.
Fuller here recently leaves but two
former commandants Of the Marine
Corps now living They are Maj. Gen.
John A. Lejeune, who is retiring as
the head OF Virginia Military Insti-
tute about July l. at Lexington, Va,
and Maj. Gen. John H. Russell, who
retired recently from active service
upon reaching the statutory age OF
g. years and Is now residing In San
Diego, Calf.
Marine Corps Headquarters says
that now practically all the annual
routine transfers have been completed.
At this time OF year there Is 4 large
turnover in the corps, particularly
among officers who are changing posts
OF duty. Marines attend the Com
pany Omcers' School at Quantico, the
Basic School at Philadelphia, the
Naval War College at Newport, r. l.;
the Army War College here; at Fort
Benning, Ga, the Army's Infantry
School; at Fort Sill. Okla. the Armys
Artillery School, and the Command
and General Staf1 School Of the Army
at Fort Leavenworth. Kans.
Another factor accounting for the
large turnover at this season is the
completion OF the fleet maneuvers.
This enables Marine Corps officers
who have had duty afloat for the past
couple Of years to come on shore duty.
Their reliefs. who have been at vari.
Gus posts. are now going adoat for
. tour OF service.
