PRINCETON, N. J., October 31, 1916--Coach Rush and his corps of coaches put the entire university squad through a long practice today. A scrimmage was held in which the first and second, teams were pitted against each other, for more than an hour. As Ames and Eddy were both unable to get into action, Comey ran the first team at quarterback. The rest of the backfield was composed of Brown, Driggs and Tibbott.

The star of the game as usual was Legore, who kicked long punts, intercepted forward passes and made his usual share of touchdowns. Both teams played an open game...
...threaten the 1920 goal line. This was in the second period when Roberts intercepted a forward pass on his own 30-yard line and ran it to the Freshman three-yard mark. But there the 1920 team held, and threw the visitors for a one-yard loss on each rush. By the end of the game, the Lowell men were well played out and only attempted to make the score as low as possible...
