  Old Nassau, pioneer of Amer ican football, stands alone after the curtain has been rung down of- flcially on the stormy 1888 season. It is the only major eleven in the country that did everything asked of it, and the only big-time team that completed it’s schedule un- beaten and united. Nosed Out Two other great teams were in the throne room when the final hostilities started Saturday. They were Army and Duke. But the Princetonians. invaded Yale and crushed the Ellis 27–⁠2. Army’s perfect record was shat tered by Notre Dame, 1912. Duke, pride of the south, was unexpectedly beaten so, by q hard-bitten Georgia Tech team. Princeton’s achievement was more remarkable because of the topsy-turvy season through which the Tigers and the rest of the na- tion’s football legions passed. It is the first time in years that only one major team remained with a perfect record. In addition, only eight points were scored against the Tigers, while they rolled up the high total of PIT. These figures indicate a formidable attack on 8 stonewall defense. All Alone The triumph climaxes one of the most amazing comebacks in foot ball history and brings lasting glory to Coach Fritz” Crisler. In two seasons at Nassau, Crisler booted the Tigers out of the dol- drums and rekindled the fighting spirit in a school where the spirit had been completely squelcheds His masterly coaching was re- f1ected in brilliant 1883 backheld which he built entirely from soph. omore material.

  YALE BEATEN BYPR|NCETON YALE BOWL, Dec. 2. U.P)- Princeton IS Tigers remained the only eastern football team with q perfect record for the season by smashing to a 27–⁠2 victory over Yale here today in the 57th renew al of their traditional rivalry. Behind in the first few minutes of play when Yale scored safety, the Tigers snapped into perfect passing and running attack to score almost at will. The game was hard fought, however, as evidenced by the fact that several players were removed from the field on stretchers after being injured. Kilcullen blocked c. kaufman S kick in the opening period and recovered it for Yale’s safety. Ceppi then led Princeton into the scoring column by blocking Keesling’s kick and running 35 yards to a score.

The Tigers, kicked around badly in the 1929-30-3l seasons, had shown some improvement last year. Their first under the coach ing of H. o.

His mores and material available from this years undefeated freshman squad, Girls ler and Princeton apparently must be reckoned as formidable Eastern powers for the next four years at least. Notre Dame gave foot ball two terrific joltS. The first came when the Ramblers scored only 10 points in their first eight games, of which they lost five, won two and tied one. The second came on Saturday when they staged rousing fourth-period rally at the Yankee Stadium here to nose out Army’s preyiously unbeaten eleven, 1912.
