HOW THE GAME WAS PLAYED.
Yale's Desperate Rushes and Daring
DOdging Won the Battle.
Brooks, of Harvard, was referee, and
Coffin, of Wesleyan, was umpire.
When Mr.. Brooks called time, Prince
ton had the ball and formed for the V
trick. This move was failure, for King,
who ran with the ball, was downed where
he was. On the second down the ball
went to Spicer, who ran ten yards. Then
King made five yards. The ball went to
Romans, who kicked it. 1t was caught
by McClung within fifteen yards of Yale's
goal. Heffelfnger made five yards. The
playing was terribly sharp and the cheer
ing simply terrific. The ball was within
twenty yards of Yale's goal until it was
kicked. The ball was brought to the 26-
yard line and Yale tried to force it by an
open bridge, but was baked by the
Princeton rushers. McClung and Morri-
son both tried a dash through the line
but failed, and the ball went to Morrison
for kick on four downs. The ball was
fumbled by Princeton and fallen on by
Heffelhnger. Yale now advanced the
ball 25 yards up the field by series Of
brilliant forced rushes, and the ball was
in the middle of the field. Hartwen got
the ball and made for the Princeton goal.
He ran to the 20-yard line, when Furness
downed him. hRodes got through Prince
toms rush line and carried the ball two
feet from the goal. The crowd went
wild as McClung dashed against Prince
toms rushers and barely managed to
squeeze the ball over the line. A goal
was kicked, which made the score 6 to
in Yale's favor.
YaIe's Rush Line Work.
Princeton lined up for the v trick but
gained nothing. The ball on the second
down was fumbled and Heffelfnger fell
on it. Yale advanced it by short runs
through the center. Heffelfnger took
the ball and was pushed ten yards, driv-
ing the Princeton men before him like
children. The rush line work of the
Yale team was immeasurably superior to
Princetons. When the ball was once
more put in play Crosby gained five
yards through the center. Romans made
long kick down the field which was
caught by McClung who advanced the
ball % yards before he was tackled. The
ball then changed hands. 1t was lost on
the second down. Princeton kicked it
down the field where it was caught.
Yale carried it five yards and again lost
the ball. Romans punted. The ball was
caught by B. Morrison and carried back
20 yards. McClung then made another
of his magnificent runs scoring touch
down. This made Yale's score 10 with
Princeton still nothing.
Meetings. Brilliant Work.
When play was begun again Romans
made kick which was well caught by B.
Morrison and carried back Is yards, when
he was tackled out of bounds. McClungs
work was as brilliant as any Ames ever
showed, and the admiration of the crowd
rose for Yale as they saw how great a
game she was putting up. When the
ball had advanced to Princeton's 25-yard
line, Harvey tried to buck the center, but
was successfully tackled by Poe. The
ball was given to McC1ung when within
10 yards of Princeton's goal, and he
scored another touchdown, bringing the
score up to 16 for Yale to Princeton's O.
Again the Princeton men lined up and
started with the V trick, and gained
about five yards. Then the ball was
passed to Spicer, and he made a run,
gaining 10 yards. Romans kicked 1t on
the fourth down. Princeton got the ball
nd King made run of 10 yards. Romans
then kicked it well down the field, when
The first half ended with the ball ten
yards from the line in YaIe's possession.
The Second Half.
When the second half started the Yale
men came on the field confident while
Princeton seemed rather Respondent.
Yale began by gaining 10 yards. Prince
ton then got five yards. Romans punted
and Rhodes got the ball and made great
run through Princeton's line for 25 yards.
Princeton got the ball and gained 10
yards but McClung got it again and car
ried it back eight yards with two men on
his back. With only five yards to gain
Yale lost the ball and Romans saved a
score by punting to the middle of the field.
Once more Yale worked the ball down
toward the goal by forced rushes Of
Rhodes and McClung. At this point Bliss
took Harvey's place, the latter having
had his ankle hurt. The ball was then
advanced 10 yards by McClung and after
scrimmage he got the ball again and
carried it to within five yards of the line.
Rhodes rushed it across the line and Nc
| Chung kicked the goal, making the score
20 to 0 in Yale's favor. TX.

lively. which brought the ball to Prince
toms 25-yard line. McClung then scored
another touchdown and kicked the goal,
making Yale's score %. When the ball
was brought back to the middle of the
field, Romans kicked it well up in Yale's
field, but the latter worked it back by
backs and runs into Princeton's field,
