Princeton, with a dozen lettermen back for practice, and a backfield of virtuosos, played a sloppy game against Amherst. Only heroic efforts by Prendergast and an 80-yard run by Parker made possible a 14 to 7 victory. The Amherst team went home to attend the funeral of Alfred Pimm, 1928, halfback who died of spinal injuries received in a practice game last week...
Dignan, although no such honor will probably be accorded him, will be missed. As a line-plunger, Dignan had no equal on the squad, unless Prendergast was his superior. As a defensive back, he easily outshone the bemasked Tiger substitute, and one of his chief contributions to Princeton this year was his service as a receiver of the aerial threats around which Roper had built his offense. With Dignan gone, Slagle will have to be supplied with a new battery mate...
Caulkius, heady Tiger signal caller, will be back again next year, and Prendergast, Gilligan, and Slagle will be there to carry out his directions. Bridges, who did not figure in the battle with the Bulldog, will also be back, and Coach Roper will thus be able to start the season with a veteran group behind the line...
...salient feature of the Harvard-Princeton game is not so difficult to find as it is difficult to phrase. Tolerant people might pretend that it was the heady passing of Caulkins, the running of slippery Slagle, or dauntless Dignan, or the doings of an unheard-of Princeton back named Prendergast, who-sent into the game in the last five minutes-carried the ball ten times (almost in succession), and gained 89 yards. But such statements could only be evasions. The salient feature of the Harvard-Princeton game was the doltish performance of the Harvard eleven. Score: Princeton 36, Harvard...
...reserve backfield material also Yale is strong. Lindley, Failing, Wads-worth, Foote and Fishwick form an array of substitute carriers that seem superior to Bridges, Beares, Ewing, and Prendergast, the Princeton second-string backs...
