to the World Herald Princeton Oct 23 The speedy Rush's coaching system imported to New Jersey from the corner lots of Cleveland had ite first real trial on big time here this afternoon and it was a terrific hit With young Dave Tibbott of Philadelphia in the lending role enthusiastically sup ported by the entire Princeton east the Rush production quite overwhelmed a delegate from artinoutlr The ultimate score was lx) Dartmouth 7 This Dave Tibbott 'is a character worthy of elaboration Much of the success of the show today was due to his earnest ef forts He booted a couple of' field goals from long range in the first half and in the second he rambled through the 3art mouth crowd some thirty live yards to a touchdown He kicked goal from nis own touchdown and also from two other touchdowns so it can be truthfully said that Dave infested the entire pastime Dave is a product of the Germantown) academy in Philadelphia but aside from tnat he had many excellent points He is 39 years old five feet ten inches high und weighs 172 pounds with which lie hit' the Dartmouth folks nt frequent inter vals today He is a member of the cbissj of 1917 nnd plays a bit of lelt halfback for Princeton His

were in I complete and then upon the third pass Chamberlain hopped up into the air and grabbed the ball as it eatne from Phelan Upon the next play Nebraska tried a pass and intercepted it as if evening up the grudge Tliis last pass called for by Quarter back Caley was the supreme evidence of mighty poor football judgment and the Cornhusker coach with all his faults upon his head let no time fly before he told Caley so There was but a moment or so of play football calendar and Nebraska leading 20 to 3J yet Caley called for a forward pass when "safety first" could be the only Idea at that time But when ordinary football plays were in order the quarterback called for a pass and nearly tied the game After Phelan had Intercepted this pass he tried once on his own ook the ball going to Cofall for twenty five yards Bergman sailed around left behind that trusty old Notre Dame interference to Nebraska's ten yard line and then lugged the leather around left for a touchdown Co fall
