From the beginning the heavy and experience Cabot forces kept the controlling hand in the afternoon's activities. The Crimson scrum out drove the lighter Queens' forwards mercilessly while the backs had a field day, turning up with one sparking run after the other. Princeton ex-football captain, Tom Mountain, was in real form and scored four tries on long runs from his football position. Kenny Cuthhertson, Phil Markwart, Marsh Holleb, Cy Taylor, "Captain Billy" Waters and Johnny Randolf also joined the scoring bandwagon with a try apiece...

The backs are fast and most of them have worked together for three springs. Former girdiron captain Bobbie Green and Marsh Holleb can be expected to show plenty of shifty and speedy maneuvering in the afternoon's workout, ably supported by "battering ram" Muddy Waters, who is on the last leg of a colorful five years of Harvard rugby. To add to the star-studded lineup, Tommy Mountain, a Princeton football...
