And isn’t the STAN ford Indian stalking across the country TO play Columbia this week? Ouch! PRINCETON. 26; Navy. 6-It looks as if Navy left its football at the Capitol Theater. This positively is not the MILDLY team which swept to an undefeated season in Navy Blue and Gold’ and under Mr.. Carter Barron S auspices. Maybe the Navy didn’t have Robert Young along when it went up to New Jersey to play the Tigers.
