...kick-off. Princeton recovered a fumbled punt on the Freshmen's 20-yard line. Carrying on with the same drive which netted the previous goal, Captain Smith carried the ball over in four plunges.

If this occurs, the backs' and ends' skill in an overhead attack will be useless and only straight football can be used. However, Coach Brooks, one of the greatest tackles that ever played, and an expert line coach, is basing his hopes that forward passing can be used on two factors; first, that the Crimson line will be out of condition as a result of the long, gruelling scrimmages that have been held every day this week; and second, that his line...
