...Moore, Tibbott, Driggs and Eddy were the men who contributed most to Bucknell's defeat. Moore in particular played a spectacular game, scoring two touchdowns on end runs of 50 and 65 yards respectively. The other three men were all steady gainers and found little difficulty in penetrating the Bucknell line. Princeton's line was none too strong, however, and the opposing backs frequently found large holes in it and had to be stopped by the secondary defence...
...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. This combination succeeded in scoring several times on the second team by means of line plunges, off-tackle plays and forward passes. The work in forward passing was of a particularly high calibre...
...backfield have been showing well, accounting for good gains in the broken field, but team work has been lacking. This has been remedied and a better machine organized. Princeton will probably have little trouble with Lafayette, with all their regulars playing except Moore. Driggs, Brown, and Tibbott, with either Eddy or Ames at quarterback are expected to compose the the backfield, while the line will be made up almost entirely of veterans...
...ball and then throwing a forward pass will not escape those who understand the game. With at least one defending end and tackle and probably a back smothered the prospect of an eligible receiver of the pass working his way into the open does not need emphasis. Fred Tibbott used to play back for Princeton in 1907 and 1908, but the trouble with him, or rather the system, was that he could neither kick nor throw the forward pass; every one knew that when the went back a run was forthcoming. The great weapon of the kick-formation threat...
...attack which will give pause to her strongest opponents. Certainly, he has the material to work with. In Driggs he has a punter good for any distance up to sixty yards, and a man who showed late last season that he knows how to turn the ends. In Tibbott he has a dangerous open field-runner and an expert drop-kicker. In Moore he has a fast, elusive back. We shall see Princeton this year making a lot of use of her backfield in the way of returning kick-offs. The Tigers last season showed a very interesting protective system...
