  PRINCETON USES AERIAL ATTACK TO DOWN VIRGINIA Roper’s Men Flash Old Power in Trimming Southerners, $40. Princeton football team rolled up four touchdowns and two field goals against the University Of Virginia in the Palmer Stadium this after noon, defeating the Southerners by the score of “a to 0. All four OF the Tiger touchdowns came in the first two periods, when the regular varsity was intact, but the Virginians held well In the last two periods, end the Orange and Black scoring was confined to two pretty field goals from the toe of Ken Smith. The visiting team was unable to stop the Princeton attack in any department OF the game. the pass ing OF the Tigers being most effective in producing scores. Capt. Keck won the toss from Rlnehart, the Virginia leader, and elected to receive the kick-off. The first score came ~ result of bautiful forty-yard run by Jack Cleaves which put the bail on the courtyard line. He was thrown for a two-yard loss on the next play, but Clarity plunged through center for the score, and Keck kicked the goal The next Princeton touchdown came when Capt. Rinehart. Of the Virs ginians. fumbled and Snively pecoycred the ball for the Tigers in the middle Of the field. Cleaves ripped on another long run, this time for twenty-five yards. and on the next play Garrity scored in the corner OF the field after receiving Van Gerbig’s long pass. Passes Increase Total. The Orange and Black touchdowns In the second quarter both came from forward passes. the first being made by Hank Clarity, who received from Snively. and the second by Peck Euwer on a very short pass over the center of the line by Van Gerbig. Euwer was waiting for the twisting oval on the good side of the goal line. The Virginians had only one real chance to score, and that was in the first part of the last quarter, Two fifteen-yard penalties took the pigskin back we’ll within Princeton territory for the first time during the game. The South erners then opened their only sue cessful attack of the afternoon, by series of forward passes from open formation. and completed fve out of their six attempts. The last heave was from Foster to Oppleman and the latter was brought down within one foot of the Tiger goal line. On the next play Virgtnia was offside and was sent back five yards. Foster dropped back on the next lineup and tried another. of the passes which had heretofore been so successful, but the heave was wild and the ball was grounded behind the Princeton goal posts. The hearts of the Princeton root ers came back to normal beating, for Virginia never opened up her attack to any dangerous degree again during the game. Both teams had put in a great number OF Substitutes and there was very little interesting playing after that except the brilliant kicking of Smith. Smith was the second sub stitute used for Jack Cleaves and undoubtedly supported the judgment of the coaches. His first boot was from the 45-yard line and the second from S5-yards. The line helped him in both attempts by holding well. LOurie Fails to Play. Coach Bill Roper evidently did not want to run the chance of Lourie’s hurting his leg again and thus be out of the Harvard and Princeton games for the Tiger backfleld ace warmed the substitutes throughout the entire game. Lourie had been drilling all week with the varsity and the expectaton of the undergraduates was that their idol would be in the play today, but the dope was upset. Jack Cleaves was easily the most prominent star of the Tiger ma chine this afternoon. He made long. Jagged runs through broken fields for twenty-five and forty yards respectively in the first quarter, each of which placed the pig skin in a good position for the score which followed. Garrity again was in the form that has won for him the high reputation he has as a plunging back. Besides, his consistent gains through the line he called the signals from quarterback and showed admirable leadership. Rutan Defensive Star. The defensive work Of Frank Rutan, who was substituted for “Whoop’ Snively at left end, was nothing short OF miraculous. Time after time he stopped the Virginia backs behind their own line, and his showing Is all the more creditable because he has always been-a tackle before this week Strangely enough. a substitute back was the Outstanding light on the Southern combination. Foster took Carrington’s place at quarterback in the first period and was the power Of the visitors passing attack. as well as the defensive star. when he In tercepted several Princeton passes, running them back for good gains. Capt Rinehart did the punting for Virginia, but except in a few he. did not get them off very well. because the Tiger readily broke through the Southern forwards. The superiority Of the Tiger eleven is evidenced by the unofficial statistics which credit Princeton with thirteen first downs and Virginia five. Virginia threatened only once. when 80 yards of penalties brought them within range. The Orange and Black was penalized for a total Of so yards, but the play was not at all rough at any time.
