Sport: White Plains Tigers

Up to last week there existed an amazing parallel this season between the football teams of Princeton University and White Plains (N. Y.) High School. White Plains’ colors, like Princeton’s, are orange and black. Princeton plays in Palmer Stadium; White Plains in Parker Stadium. White Plains uses Princeton cheers and songs almost word for word. Like Princeton’s, White Plains’ coaches this season have had more good players than they know what to do with. Each team had won five games, lost none. Each had scored exactly 188 points. Each had allowed its opponents three touchdowns.

Last week while Princeton was swamping little Lehigh (see below), White Plains nosed out its big rival, New Rochelle, 7-to-6.
