Amazing q crowd Of $4,000 by its superiority over . Brown team that went into the game as favorite, despite the Tigers upset” perform ance against Navy and Pennsylvania, Princeton bottled up the Brown running attack until late in the game and displayed an offense that was good for four touchdowns and q defense that added two safe ties to the score. After yielding f1rst-period touch down, Brown came back to tie the score early in the second. But the Tigers made it 1877 at the half and never were threatened again. The hard-charging Princeton forwards stopped Bob Margarita and Dan Savage, Browns speedy backs, so effectively that the Bears gained only 81 yards by rushing. Meanwhile Bob Perina, Princeton’s senior halfback, and George FRANKIE, freshman fullback, reeled off long gains both on the ground and through the air.

This gave Brown a free kick from the 20 and the Bruins probably are wishing they hadn’t done it. FRANKIE grabbed the ball an his own 80 and smashed and twisted his way to the Brown IT, Five plays later Perina crashed through for the score. With substitutes playing most of the positions for both teams, Brown finally scored with only seconds to go after steady march from its IS.
