Hampered by lack of proper coaching and revealing clearly their want of practice and team-play, Princeton was unable to show a thing. Knox, star forward for the Jerseymen and leader in scoring to date, was well cared for by the University's checking defense, and failed to splash.

Notwithstanding this handicap, however, which is quite offset by a wealth of Billy Van comedy, the piece provides a non-brain taxing, enjoyable evening. And as for the French joke on the red card,--something not new but done in a different way,--it must be heard to be appreciated...
