q series of wild yells. Captain McClung
has given his men some timely advice, and
they realize that q determined effort must
be made at the outset to break through
PrIneeton's line. Riggs has been holding
big Heffeltnger quite safe, and Princeton
has been tackiing well. too.
1t is fale's ball. and with mighty effort
she wedges through Princeton's line for
five yards. On the next down Princeton
holds her own. but presently Yale brushes
through Princeton's center for five yards.
and before the air 10 yet clear OF flying

for two yards more. PrInoetonians look on
in dismay as the gigantic Heiielhnger

age is done Bliss pounces on the BAH and

vancing Yale army plerces Princeton's
center five yards, while the wearers
of the orange and black begin to wonder
what manner of weakness has suddenly

In fact The ball has been crowded
down to Princeton's twenty-fve-yarti
against an attempted run by McClung.
Yale advances five yards through the left
tackle and McClung goes around the four
yards. Winter is slightly hurt. but re-
sumes play aud with apparent ease Yale
crowds Princeton to the five yard line In
the southeast corner of the field.
On the next attack Yale advances two
yards. and then with great hurrah the
down and makes the opening
through which Mccormick makes the first
touchdown. Bedlam is let loose Yale
on every side to the deafening cheers of

BAD OMEN FOR THE TIGERS"

and makes five yards headway before
Flint goes to the grass. Princeton makes
FIVE yards through the center, and
her followers howl their enthu-
siastic Acknowledgements. Princeton
returns the attack with vigor and Flint
is rushed past Yale's line two yards and
little JOHNNIE Poe makes circuit around
Yale's left end for three yards. 1t is a bad
omen for the orange and black. Yale
goes to work hammer and tongs
and at the first onslaught the Princeton
warriors recede live yards. The crafty
McClung sneaks around Princeton's right
end, and before Princeton can corral him
he is within three yards OF Princetons
goal.
In O twinkling Winter is through Prince
toms center and makes another touch
down, while Yale's enthusiasm breaks forth
again. The cheering increases In volume.
and Yalesmen sing songs, while McClung
tries for goal again. He fails to kick 1t,
but the score is: Yale, 3; Princeton. 0.
Again the ball is brought back to the
twenty-five-yard line. Princeton sees her
only salvation in punting. and the ball is
passed to Homans, who kicks it
twenty yards. but out of bounds. The
athletic McClung is under the ball; and. as
he catches it, he is hurled violently to the
earth. The ball is still in Princeton's
territory. and Yale makes no gain on
the first down. and in the next
scrimmage Princeton regalns the ball.
Ho.nans pnnts low, but Hetsltnger jumps
and blocks the flight of the bGll, which
goes through for ten yards. but
hurts his arm and time is called while the
trainers administer massage to the injured
-
end. but finds 1T firm. McCor-
mick makes five yards through the
center, but on the next attempt gains no
headway. Winter also fails to advance.
but Yale is content. The ball is on Prince
toms twenty-yard line. and Princeton can
not repulse Yale's steady attacks
CALLED 1T HARD LUCK.
Princeton gets the ball for off-side play
and Homans again resorts to puntIng.
Either his foot is too wet or the
bail is too greasy. for it again goes
out of bounds and McClung pounces upon
it, Hard luck" saith the Princetonians.
Every thing is against u.s." McClung is
guided past Princeton's right end
for five yards. Bliss tries to repeat
the operation. but fails signaliy.
Yale gets five ards for off-side play. Bliss
and Morrison try the ends again, but are
downed without gains. Now Hefielhnger
makes a feint as if to rush, but
the ball has boen snapped back 10
