Tiger Coach Ron Rogerson was much criticized at the start of last season for installing the somewhat old-fashioned Wing-T offense with his new team.

The problem wasn't with the offense, but with the team--the run-oriented Wing-T promised to neutralize Princeton's most effective offensive weapon, quarterback Doug Butler.

Well, Rogerson had the last laugh last year. His defense forced 34 turnovers, Butler completed his conquest of the Princeton record books, and the Tigers finished in a second-place tie (with Harvard) for the Ivy title.

Now Rogerson is faced with a new dilemma: how to replace Butler, leading rusher Butch Climmons, and the other 12 starters who have graduated.

A number of running backs are returning, and should provide ample ammunition for Rogerson's offensive set, but the loss of four offensive linemen--including two second team All-Ivy selections--should make for tough sledding.

On defense, only the cornerback slots seem set for the early going, as here again Rogerson must do some major rebuilding work.

A bright spot continues to be the kicking game.
