Princeton opened its season against Rutgers, and the resulting score of 14 to 3 against a weak eleven showed that there was much to be done in the Tiger camp. The calibre of play was low, the men weak on the most fundamental points, and the team disorganized in action. Since that time, however, most rapid strides have been made. The three easy contests with Fordham, Bucknell and Syracuse following gave the team opportunity to study and eliminate weak points, to try out new line-ups and formations, and were of the greatest assistance to the coaches in every...
...game on October 25 against Dartmouth, however, was a distinct disappointment both in point of score and play. The Tiger attack had lost its vaunted strength when tried against the unyielding Dartmouth line. This defeat, bitter as it was, put new spirit into the Princeton team and last Saturday, with a return to form, Holy Cross was literally torn to pieces. The Princeton eleven has begun to retrieve the Dartmouth defeat and it will meet Harvard tomorrow completely rejuvenated and ready to fight its hardest...
Under the spirited coaching of E. Hart, who captained the championship Princeton eleven of 1911, the Tiger team seems to have recovered from the slump which was evidenced by last Saturday's game. As a whole, the eleven, is showing more life and aggressiveness, the backs, Baker, Glick, and Streit, running off the plays with remarkable snap while the forwards showed more fight in charging than they have before this season. The coaches, Hart and Moffat '84, are the most recent addition to the coaching staff and are bending all their efforts towards perfecting the Princeton eleven for its battle...
Princeton will face Dartmouth today with a great many weak points in the general make-up and methods of play of her team. While the Tiger offence with J.S. Baker as a clear-headed quarterback and accurate forward passer and three clever backs in Baker, Streit, and Trenkman is well balanced and aggressive, the defence has been characterized as antedeluvian. This applies principally to the ends who are coached to play a "waiting game," that is to break up the attack by waiting for the play to come to them instead of going in to get it. Captain Baker will...
...Tiger's line will be exceptionally heavy and a strong defence will be the result. Heyniger and Stuart, both candidates for guard positions, are the biggest men that have played in the Princeton line for several years. For the center positions the most prondsing candidates is Semmons, from last year; freshman team. One of the tackle positions will surely go to Phillips, a members of last year's varsity team and also the championship team of 1911. Ballin is the best candidate for the other tackle position at present. Swart, Brown, and Hammond are all sterling men for end positions...
