Writer Says Clasby Roughed

Roughing up the star performer in a football game is getting to be a very popular pastime, and it is sometimes more noticeable from the pressbox than on the field. Boston American sports-writer Tap Goodenough claims that he noticed some large and heavy Princetonians giving Dick Clasby the treatment last Saturday.

According to Goodenough, Clasby received non-gentle and non-accidental flats in the face once in the second period and twice in the third, each time in a pile-up after the whistle had blown. Clasby, outstanding performer for the Crimson, was also well worked over by Dartmouth two weeks earlier--once slugged flagrantly and illegally, but several other times simply ground into the turf after a legal tackle.

The Crimson itself did not exactly lie down before Princeton, however, and Dick Kazmaier was hit clean, but hard.

In the same issue of the American columnist Austen Lake wrote "I bet President James B. Conant wondered how it is that Princeton attracts ... regiments of burly foot-fast boys while Harvard gets only freshmen with webtoes' pronated feets, hollow chests, and soprano voices."
