Princeton, Nov. 10--Although an early first period injury forced Princeton's leading ground gainer Hughes Agnew out of the game, the Tigers produced their strongest passing attack of the season today against a outclassed Crimson eleven at Palmer Stadium, 35 to 20. The aerial attack resulted in the most points scored against Harvard since 1952, as the Tigers retain their tie for the Ivy league lead with Yale, which defeated Pennsylvania today...
Botsford kicked into the same wind that helped the Tigers two minutes before, and this time set up the game's first touchdown.
