Yea, Princetonf' In the midst of such cheer- ing the first activity of the school year was on, Eventl on the Activity Ticket was the opening football game with Walnut, the Little Eight Champions. Princeton, green but eager came through with flying colors to win by a score of 7-O. jack Staples, a newcomer, scored the touchdown. Princeton's elation subsided somewhat when the team and a goodly number of students went to Wethersfield. Here a combination of hot weather and injuries dogged the Tigers who came out with the low end of a 32-18 count. The game to which all Princeton looks forward was next. Yes, you've guessed-Kewanee. It was rumored that Kewanee was fully prepared to massacre Princeton. Our intrepid little band of warriors, still limping from injuries, showed the old fighting spirit to keep Kewanees victory to one touchdown. The most spectacular game of the season was with DePue. Rumor again said that DePue had high hopes of defeating Princeton. Hope turned to sorrow when Roy Buchaus, Tiger halfback, made two runs of over ninety yards each to bring Princeton a 13-0 victory and the jug Top Row:Sjii'n Monier, Robert Yates.-Clayton Shipipl, George Richards,4 Jim Postlewaite, Bill Smith, Ted Heck, Bob Lay, Charles mith, Dick Larson, Bob Piper, Milton ult, Lawrence Monier, Mr. Burns.

It's purpose is to offer the students all the activities at reduced prices, and it has proved to be a great success from the standpoints of convenience and of money saving.

The entire season was one of ups and downs. Ottawa, champions of the Illinois Valley League were victors over the Tigers by the largest score of the season. Shortly after this Princeton turned tables and won over the hard fighting Galva team. Following this victory over Galva came a defeat by Mendota which pleased Mendota but was a real disappointment for Princeton fans. The annual Armistice Day game was the closing game of the season. It was held on the eve of Armis- tice and was the Home Coming Game. Floats prepared by the Home Rooms were exhibited at the hall' with first prize going to Room 117. A 12-0 score in favor of the Tigers proved a happy ending to the football events. It also brought the foot- ball experience to a close for the Seniors, Captain Moline, Roy Buchaus, Dale Duffield, Wilbur Pierson, and Carl Nelson. These boys will be greatly missed, but we look forward to another year under the Co- Captains Robert Duffield and jack Staples. S ,,..A-..-,A,,,,, Wa .-efeacnvc A:
