...jockey to score a "triple"-ride three winners in an afternoon-is not unusual. Nonetheless, even to jockeys as able as young Hank Mills, it is gratifying. Hank Mills had particularly good reason to feel pleased about his triple with The Heathen, Euclid and Bodkin in the closing week of the Jamaica. L. I. race meeting last week.

Born in Grand Junction, Colo, of a racetrack family-his father and an older brother were jockeys-Hank Mills became famed suddenly in Miami last winter when he rode 27 winners in 16 days. Trainer James Fitzsimmons of the Wheatley Stables, owned by Secretary of the Treasury Ogden Livingston Mills (no kin to Jockey Mills) and his sister, Mrs. Henry Carnegie Phipps, quickly bought Hank Mills's contract for $7,500.

This was principally because Princeton could then beat Yale and Harvard at football. There were giants in those great days- "Stan" Keck, "Al" Wittmer, "Hank" Garrity, Don Lourie, Herb Treat, Ed McMillan, "Pink" Baker,- Howell van Gerbig- and Princeton's alumni were happy. But then Princeton began taking itself seriously as an intellectual centre, a place to train the mind. Its curriculum and entrance requirements were stiffened. Learning was made more real.

Roals Morton did not dress for practice today, and Al Baldwin was in uniform for the first time this week. Both of these players were in for the greater part of the Yale game and their absence has left holes hard to fill. Hank Barber, who played very little against Yale, will start at left tackle, and Dave Hedges, who has never been in a major game, will start at fullback...
