...best thing about the Swarthmore game from the Princeton standpoint was the work of Dignan, right halfback. Slagle, star Princeton carrier, remained on the sidelines yesterday, but although he has been the mainspring of the Tiger aerial attack all season, four out of seven passes were successful with him out of the game. Dignan did the tossing, and also gained much ground by his powerful linebucking. His punting was sensational, and promises to be at least on a par with the best Harvard can offer next Saturday...

Unless the snagging of these passes can be stopped by the Navy, the Tiger stands a good chance of being returned the winner...
