Princeton Won the Toss.
Princeton won the toss and chose the
west side of the field. The play up to
the call of time for the first half was
the sharpest ever seen on q football field.
The ball remained almost entirely in the
centre of the field. Time was called
Ssla trthe bali on Princeton's forty yard
Neither side had scored and
cTIlleeton was jubilant. 1t opened well,
for ale had counted on scoring in the
first half.
AT 3:16 p. m. the teams lined up for
the second half in pouring rain: Yale
had the ball, and after few words Of
warming from Billy Bull, her great full
back, started in to do or die.
Princeton Weakens.
AS usual they started with a V and
made seven yards. On the next trial
Mccormick bueked the center for a
yard. Yale was playing with great
force. Winters went through and made
-four yards, and McClung followed,
making two yards. On his next run he
was splendidly tackled by Harold and
lost five yards. The ball was now
within forty yards of Princeton's goal.
Yale was gaining at every down, and
the Princeton boys seemed to be losing
their dash. Heifeliinger was sent through
the center for ten yards. The ball was
now on Princeton's ten yard line, and
when Winter gained four yards more it
looked like q touchdown. Winter took
the ball again, and when he was tackled
the ball was In the extreme right corner
of the field within three yards of the
goal line. 1t was carried in fifteen
yards. Everything depended on the
next play. McClung buclSed the center
Qnd tho ball was then only one yard
from the line. Then the whole Yale
team massed around McClung and he
was showed over, scoring touchdown
by about two feet. McClung failed to
kick goal, making the score Yale 4,
Princeton O.
Homan Makes a Mufr
The ball was taken out to the TWENTY
i've yard line and Princeton formed a
wedge, with the leather in Flints' pos
session. So far tho ball had not been
out of Princeton's territory. Flint got
five yards and Poe followed it up With
five more. Homan's muiTed n poor pass
and the ball was Yale's. McClung then
took the ball from the thirty yard line
and ran within one yard of Princeton's s
hne. He was well guarded by Helfel-
finger. Winter was showed over for the
second touchdown at the extreme left
corner. The score was now s too.
McClung again fniied to kick the goal.
Princeton formed V and made five
yards, Homan then punted twenty-five
yards and McClung got the ball out Of
the bounds. Princeton got the ball on
tho next down for off side play. Hart
well got the ball and started to run, but
was downed on the thirty yards line.
The tide was in favor of Yale now,
Bliss and McClung moved the ball fif-
teen yards nearer the limo. In the next
play Winter failed to gain. The ball
WAS now on Princetons twenty yard
line Princeton got the ball on Sanford's
poor snap back. Homans kicked i'm
inediately and McClung fell on the ball.
HoClung then ran ten yards around the
right end. Bliss lost five yards, but the
ball was not in the play. Bliss failed
again. Mccormick kicked pretty goal
from the right field in the middle of the
poles. The score was: Yale, 10; Prince
ton, 0.
