  PRINCETON 30, CARoLIxA Tigers Cain Victory In a Rather slow Game. Princeton, N. J., Nov. S.-The Prince ton eleven defeated the University of North Carolina to-day by score of 30 to 0. The game was slow and neither team put up noticeably strong work, In the first half Princeton punctured the North Carolina’s line with little difficulty and made several end runs for good gains, Mattis, Palmer and McCord scored. The southern boys took brace in the second half and Princeton was held three times on downs. Sev- eral changes were made in the Tigers eleven in this half. Mattis and Knight scored touchdown The feature of the game was the fifty-yard run by Palmer. Shull put up the best game for North Carolina. Princeton lost ground five times on off-side play, and did not get into plays fast enough. Unless the team braces up it is thought the Tigers may suffer defeat when they meet the Indi- ans on Saturday.
