"Playing their first game of the season on foreign territory for the first time in recent years, the Princeton football squad made a most suitable showing against Holy Cross, winning with comparative ease by the score of 21 to 0. All the scores were registered in the first two periods, when the men who are now considered regulars were in the line-up.

Eddie Driggs especially showed up and punting was a powerful factor. Moore and Brown, his backfield mates, exhibited bursts of speed which time after time caught the local collegians off guard and brought about appreciable gains for the Tigers. The early training done by Princeton this season was proved a big benefit, as the players went through the game without showing any ill effects and played at high speed throughout.

"Moore and Driggs both went over the line for a touchdown in the opening period. Line plunges and short dashes off tackle carried the ball down the field in rapid strides in the opening period and placed Princeton in position to score. Moore made the initial touchdown of the season following a plunge through the line by Driggs that placed the ball on the 5-yard line. From here Moore dashed across. Driggs used his punting ability to place the ball in position for the second touchdown, then plunged through the weak Holy Cross line for the tally. Moore kicked both goals.

Driggs' Punting Too Much.

"Holy Cross played better in the second period but again the punting and line plunging of Driggs was too much for the locals. The big Princeton full-back simply would not be denied, kicking and carrying the ball past all opposition and registering a third touchdown. Moore again kicked the goal.

"Holy Cross grew stronger and played better in each succeeding period. In the third it made its first down and held the ball in midfield when the period ended. In the fourth period Holy Cross-tried line plays unsuccessfully and Higgins, who substituted at quarterback for Twitchell, tried a forward pass, which was intercepted by Rutt of the Tigers.

"It was the first time a big college football team has ever played on a local field. The game was witnessed by 6,000 enthusiasts. It was a valuable experience for both teams. Holy Cross showed strong and was heartily complimented by the reserve Tigers who were on the field in numbers enough to form three elevens."
