Tiger Smacks Lips, Crouches For Third Win

By Graham SHANLEY Daily princetonian

One of the nation's oldest and most respected football rivalries will be renewed today when a favored Princeton eleven will try to exploit its talents sufficiently to make Harvard its third victim of the season.

Unlike the Crimson, the whole Tiger squad is in almost perfect physical condition and servived Penn's 26-7 victory little the worse for the contest, which saw Old Nassau play its best-balanced football of the year. This was in marked and, to Tiger rooters at least, pleasant contrast to its previous performances, which ranged unpredictably from excellent to terrible.

Line Defense Strong

Particularly outstanding, even in defeat, was the Orange and Black's defensive line which will start today if Harvard receives. Dan Williams and Bill Koch, both 200-pounders, man the tackles with Lon Palin and Jim Granbery at guards. Frank Perantont, Princeton's candidate for All-Eastern honors as center, backs up the forward wall with Charlie Brown, another defensive specialist.

The starting ends, Tom Finical and Whitey Meyer, remain the same. From tackle to tackle Caldwell's offensive unit includes Dunc Robertson, Matt Atkinson, Rip Burns, Bolling Robertson and Julian Buxton, last year's Freshman captain.

Most of the men scheduled to see heavy duty against the Crimson played in last tall's 13-12 defeat. Among those are George Franke, a scorer in that game who will probably share fullback duties with John Powers, Princeton's leading rusher.
