    PRINCETON TIGERS DEFEAT AMHERST. Princeton, N. J., November 9.--(Spe- cial. )-The Princeton Tigers defeated the Amherst eleven here today by a score of IA to Q. But for the great goal kicking ability of Harlan, the Tigers score would have been but to nothing, for Harlan drop-kicked two ended to and the field goal was made near the end of the half. Princeton’s touchdown came in the last seven minutes of the game and the Amhersts had such Q strong defense that the Tigers were held for downs on three occasions. The Tigers fre- quently broke through for long gains, but only at the end of the battle did these gains count. Dillon ran the team in magnificent style. The line up Princeton. Position. Amh erst.
