Harlow had spread his tackles by pre-game command, for fear of the Princeton close-lateral that puzzled Pennsylvania. Faced with that lineup, Caldwell simply sent his men through the center. Passing was little better than mediocre in the damp atmosphere except for Princeton's second tally, on which wing George Sella ran straight past defender Chuck Roche, took Dick Weat's 55-yard pass on the 12 and went on across
