Princeton will face Dartmouth today with a great many weak points in the general make-up and methods of play of her team. While the Tiger offence with J.S. Baker as a clear-headed quarterback and accurate forward passer and three clever backs in Baker, Streit, and Trenkman is well balanced and aggressive, the defence has been characterized as antedeluvian. This applies principally to the ends who are coached to play a "waiting game," that is to break up the attack by waiting for the play to come to them instead of going in to get it.

On the other hand Wigglesworth has slightly better judgment in tight places, is faster in running back punts and is able to make gains through the line...
