...success is that its attack is built around a formation that went out of style with bloomers: the single wing, in which the center passes the ball directly to the deep backs rather than handing it to the quarterback as in the T formation. A reluctant innovator, Coach Dick Colman has dressed up his offense with fancy shifts (into the I formation and the Notre Dame box), pass-run option plays and the like-all of which scare him as much as they do his opponents. "We're playing awfully dangerous ball," he shudders. But Princeton's bread...
With the material he has, Colman doesn't have to get too cute. Guard Stas Maliszewski is an All-America. Tailback Landeck turned down five Big Ten offers to come East to college. And any time the Tigers bog down within 40 yds. or so of pay dirt, they can always call on the services of Charlie Gogolak. Like his brother Pete, who boots field goals and extra points for the American Football League's champion Buffalo Bills, Charlie kicks the ball soccer-fashion, with his instep rather than his toe-and he already holds practically every college...
Actually, Colman insists, the fact that Princeton is the only major-college team that still runs out of the single wing works to the Tigers' advantage. "Our opponents have only one week to make the necessary shifts in their defenses," he says. "Teaching a whole new defense in one week simply cannot be done...
...Tigers have yielded only 33 points this year, so it is very doubtful whether the passing of Bob Hall (impressive as his statistics are) will give Dick Colman's boys any trouble. If Princeton can score 51 against Penn, they could probably rack up 100 points against the Bruins--with Charley Gogolak kicking a field goal in the last seconds of play, no doubt...

But She is no copycat; Britain's H. Rider Haggard wrote it in 1886,* 51 years before Ronald Colman ever heard of Shangri...
