At that, he was an excelient twirler. Duffy Lewis was not placed in the outfield of this team for the simple reason that his best work of the year was in the World's Series. Up to that time he had gone through a for a long bout, 3 course it seems an absurd thing _ that an old retired champion like Bat Nelaon, who went through more mill- fs, in his time than any other fighter mn the land, and who has been prac- Mealy out of the ring for years, conld in win a world’s champlonsh!p But if he did it!

Ever since Dr. Al Sharpe has been head coach at Ithaca he's been gradually rounding the big Red 1 White team into a machine and building for the future. here's been marked improvement in rnell elevens the last three years, ‘The Ithacan team was so powerful this season that Cornell men freely predicted a victory over Harvard last week, The Tigers’ showing against Dart- mouth only increases the feeling among football men that this is Princeton's year. The game was sup- posed to be a critical test for Nas- sau, but it wasn't because Dartmouth couldn't make any headway against | the Orange and Black regulars, The present team is the nearest thing to a football machine Princeton has had in years. "Speedy" Rush, the new head coach, has thoroughly driiled his players in all the rudi- ments of the game; but, best of all, he's impressed on them the impor- tance of team work, The Tigers this season are hot a “one-man” team, which has been the weakness of Princeton elevens in the past. ‘The Tigers’ trump card against Dartmouth was their kicking game. Eddie Driggs, a former New York High School star, punted with diree- tion and accuracy seldom seen on the gridiron, Aided by a stiff breeze, the Princeton fullback kicked high, twisting spirale that travelled from fifty to seventy yards. Driggs, how- ever, was at his best when booting against the wind, Time and again the Van Amringe trophy will be held neat Friday.

Once after receiving a punt at midfield he dodged hia way through the entire Dartmouth team for a touchdown, Tibbott is the youngest of a famous Princeton football family, and one of the season s greatest stars. This fleet- footed halfback scored all the po:nts in the Rutgers and Syracuse games, and he was good for fifteen against Dartmouth, The Tigers’ rushing game isn't very powerful and sustained.
