  The Crimson Team Over whelmS Princeton by Score of 20 to 0. MAHAN ANO DRADLEE HEROES OF STRUGGLE. Game SO One-Sided That Haughton Sends In Substitutes. ,-srnled sll over and otherwise grievors’v abused the Princeton football eleven IN the we’ll packed stadium here ,h;s afternoon. as the illuminating score Of 20 10 forcibly sttests. The Tigers had nothing in the way – offensive weapons with which to combat the tearing, driving assaults which the Crimson forces kept hurting srs,,st them, while their defence ,bled before the constant onslaught ., WAY that WAS sorely distressing TO che small sized army Of Princeton men in .he stands. Prom trst TO last Harvard was shoot ,pr away al the Princeton goal posts or marching steadily down the field. ONLY once did momentary hope rise o.t Of the gloom Of the wearers of the Orange and Black, when, thanks to tumble by Logan, Tibbott, in sheer 6,srera-ion. tried 70 drop kick goal from the 4O-yard line, which fell five yards short. Sorry showing for Tigers. l- was q dismal. sorry showing for q the Tigers. and the worst defeat suftered 81 the hands of Harvard since football relations were renewed four wears ago. after lapse Of fifteen years. No excuses were offered by Princeton men. None need be offered in the face of Usrvsrd’s whirlwind attack and al mos. irvulnerable defence I’VE were beaten by q better team” was all one Of The coaches would say, and TO this may be added “a good deal better team Harvard was the Harvard OF year sro. and rose from the depths OF more or less disappointing early season in a way to indicate that the rec ord or not having been beaten since 1911 is likely 10 stand. With Mahan ia the backteld and Pennock at guard the Crimson seemed 10 be fully 40 per cent stronger than against Michigan week ago. 10 weaknesses we’re aprsreut. except the dangerous one o. f1mblirr. and the Tigers were as apI ss usual. but not 50 alert, perhaps IN turning these 10 their own advantage. All iu all. Harvard was very, very strong. or Princeton was very, very weak. and in my opinion the former WAS largely ,rue, although combinaton Of both probably accounted for the utter rout Of the Tigers, for such II was Eddie Mahan may not be second Caar.ie Brickley when II comes 10 l.c.no goals from the field, but he IS .o- lar behind his illustrious captain who is recupcvating on the side lines from his operation for appendicitis 1aIan drop kicked tuo goals from the field. one from the 33-yard line, in the first period, and another from the 10 ,ard line. in the second, out Of five shots a. the posts. This accounts for e.v points. and the fourteen others were rolled up on two touchdowns by Bradlec after steady marches down the field, one for sixty-three yards and the other for about fifty yards, from which Hardwick kicked two goals. Percy D. Haugbton was so well sat ..sed with this total that he sent in a f5ck Of subs in the fourth period, until practically the full second team was battling Princeton. and more than holding its own. too. II was almost ike adding insult to injury, although nothing like this was intended The Vale game is only two weeks off, and Haurhton was conserving so far as POSSIBLE his forces for what at this tme promises TO be sterner struggle Few Thrills in Game. The stadium was not quite full 70 oyerfowing, but fully $4,000 men and women, bedecked in a somewhat quieter way than usual. with Crimson and Orange and Black, looked down on the came that. while interesting, was far TOO one-sided to send the blood courslng end far too confined 70 be spec iaculal. no exciting situations arose; there was hardly thrill or q jump from end 20 end. The brilliant Eddie Ma nan was saved as much as possible, SO mat brilliant runs and sensational oashes were conspicuous by their aoaence. IL was more a case of pound, pound, pound by Harvard and a steady Grlnd that was only relieved by the hnallty Of the scoring, which, OF course, aroused the Crimson cohorts 70 wild bursts of cheering and salts ned contentment, but left the general onlookers waiting for something SEN sstlonal which never came. In some respects it was Crimson less game, for law Is law, and law winch aimed at the duck hit the Srake, or rather brought both down. No red flags can be carried in Massa chusetts, and this has been inter pretod to include the Crimson flags ana banners Of fair Harvard. II goes 1urther, or so II seems, for the law says something about black ss well as red, and the town constable made up ms mind that If Harvard men could not carry their crimson flags, neither could Princeton men carry ,helr orange and black pennants. May be II was just as well for the Tigers, iot no occasion arose 70 haunt their colors once the battle was on. Anyway, nobody carried flags, and Continued Oh page l. Part III

  Harvard Team, as Unit, Is Shown to Be Most Danger GUS Football Machine. CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Nov. S-The aftermath Of the Harvard–Princeton game, in which the Crimson handed the 1Iigers the worst beating they ever received, score 20 to 0. shows football followers that the Crimson team as a unit is the best among the colleges today and challenges comparison with the best elevens Of history. Not alone because Princeton was overwhelmingly defeated and forced to endure the medicine from many of Harysrd’3 second stringmen in The late stages of the game, but because as a well-knit unit on attack and defense the Harvard machine displayed a brand of football calculated to throw the best that Yale can offer on its beam ends in the coming battle. There are those who say today that Harvard has still to strike its best stride. Certain II is that the line crumbling before the battering of Maulbetsch, the Michigan back, the week before, recovered to such an extent with the advent OF Pennock. that Princeton was unable to gain single yard through the center trio. which in itself speaks volumes for the derense. “Tacl1s” Hardwick, at right end for
