Chapel humored sabotage as has been witnessed in recent years. The board of the Tiger had made up the paper and completely burlesqued every part of the original. It was universally granted that the humorists had scored a decisive victory over their traditional rivals. The following week the annual Prince-Tiger dance was given in honor of the Triangle Club and was a great success. The next day the Varsity was unable to withstand the withering power of Armv ' s attack and was subdued 19-7- The lightweights, however, smothered Lafayette, 26-0, and added another bril- liant victory to their unblemished record. In their final game of the season, the 150 ' s outsmarted and outdrove a highly-touted Rutgers outfit in the sec- ond half, after having been held to a scoreless tie for the first twenty-four minutes of play. One of Princeton ' s most unique institutions, the Preceptorial System, was formally examined and its worth debated in an open forum sponsored bv the Halls.

By this time hockey and basketball were in full swing, both squads having been cut almost to mid- season size. In response to a real need in Princeton athletics, University officials announced that in- formal boxing classes would be organized in the immediate future under the tutelage of Joe Brown, a sculptor and pugilist of remarkable ability. Large numbers of students took advantage of the new opportunity. Hopes for a really far-better-than-average basket- ball team were running high as the first quintet ran not over a proficient second string in daily scrim- mages. Looking ahead into the future of a sport which attracted countless fans this year, the 150-pound football lettermen elected Hank Austin, signal-caller and blocking back on this year ' s eleven, captain for the 1939 season.
