A nr STAM.KV PASCHAL Of I'rincelon (As told to Karle Watson) Like all "big three" heroes, the star of Stanley raschal, affable J'alm Meach contractor, began to gleam brightly in prep school days, to set firmly over the emerald that caipets I'almer stadium at I'rinceton. This splendidly sculpt uted man of Ihe gridiron enjoyed the most pleasant of football anti-climaxes. From Ihe classic campus nf the famed Hill's preparatory school, of I'ottstown, he, no doubt inspired by the performance of his boy friend. John Acosla, of Vale, emulated thai worthy by immediately installing himself as one of Ihe invluable cog.i in the celebrated I'tinceton freshman eleven of 1520, which won fame. raschal played every minute of, every game the Nassau Kittens in- ilulgeil in that year.

Which is after a fashion of saying that his every moment as A freshman gridman was full of the glowr of victory, for tliej yearlings not only captured every contest, but ran smoothly over the! plehes of both Yale and Harvard. At the end of that glorious season. stoical ISill Jtoper, I'rinceton grid chieftain, lay a calloused hand on i 1'aschnl's hack, and among other things told thfl young man just 1S years old at the time that he was doing well, exceedingly well. And Nassau's grid chief added, as an afterthought, "1 want you next year, indeed 1 do." As accounts have it, P.oper had i him next year, and so did Vale and Harvard, who had so much of him that they really cared not if they, never saw him more. As a matter! of record, he was told by frenzied adherents of the Harvard Crimson that he might jolly well throw his hat into the Grand Canyon and jump after it, if he was to persist in mak-.

Ing' monkeys of fellows who opposed him at guard and tackle. Not that the Crimson and Kli did not win. It was a lean I'rincelon year from the standpoint of victories. But they saw In the hustling linesman from Pennsylvania, a constant menace of the future, In (heir fears proved Justified. Paschal, playing on that great eleven that numbered Captain "Hool 'Sniv-! eley, the talented Ken Smith, Howell and Van Grbig, won its first "big three" title In many years.

Harvard was (lopped, 10-3, anil the following Saturday saw Tigerlown go wild with Joy when Ken Smith booted a smart diop kick from way out there lo give It to Nassau, S-0. Small mat-I ler that Knute Kutkne's Horsemen had hsaten the Titers, 2 2, earlier in the season. This was Princeton's year, srid the beautiful campus rang with Joy.
