...Princeton scores came like a bolt from the blue. Shortly after the opening of the second half, Murrey dropped back into kick formation, as Lourie sped forward with an interferer at his side, not to turn until he reached up and snared Murrey's perfectly timed throw. Churchill partially misjudged the trajectory of the ball and was nullified by interference almost immediately.

Carrying as it does the backing of the most ardent supporters of the league idea, it will, in the event of Mr. Harding's election, make impossible the rejection of such an idea.

More than even we realize how much confidence the University has placed in Coach Haughton's ability to develop its football teams. Nor has that confidence been misplaced. During the nine years of his career as head coach Haughton has developed his elevens with system and success always an apostle of sportsmanship and sane athletic method. We cherish the hope that circumstances may yet permit Haughton to occupy at least an advisory...
