  Strong Fordham Eleven Holds Princeton Team Scoreless in Second Period. PRINCETON, Oct. 22.-Princeton’s scoring machine was set In motion for a short while, at University Field, yes terday afternoon, when the Tigers met Fordham. During the first half of the game the machine moved down the New Workers. for a total of II points, but after that there was no scoring. The final results stood: Princeton, IL; Fordham, 0. While the Tigers were powerful with tseir entire varsity lineup, excepting Captain Dillon in the initial period, the subs who were sent In had their hands full. From q spectacular view point the contest was a hair-raising game, for the varied on side kicks, at tempted field goals, forward passes, all sorts of stunts, kept the big crowd yell ing continually. Frankly, the Fordham team was a disappointment In that they were highly overrated. Their back field was fast, but they were light inc unsteady. = Princeton lost no time in getting after the visitors, and within four minutes after the Kickoff Coke was pulled over the line for a touchdown. Following closely upon this Coke made another. Toward the end of the half Pfeifer, who went in for Coke, tailed the last touchdown of the game. Waller kicked two out of the three goals. That the Tigers are moving in the right direction now was very evident TO all who watched their work yesterdav afternoon. Granted that Fordham offered no great resistance to the
