The First HALT
Before the spectators had finished
greeting the teams the ball was put in
play. Men wore talking to each other,
commenting upon the appearance of the
players, ladies were still pursuing tho
conversation begun half an honr before,
when suddenly a shout from tho thous-
ands on and around the field was heard.
Something had happened. But whutl
Only ] minute and 81 seconds had
elapsed, and surely nothing startling had
occurred But it had Yale had scored
a touch down, and Butterworth was pre-
pairing to touch goal.
1t was an event that astounded the
crowd, But when it was learned what
had happened-that Yale, by clever
trick, had started off in the face of the
wind with a score-th0 applause was
deafening.
Two trials had been made and the ball
advanced ID yards into Princeton's terri
torty. Mccormick motioned TO Laurie
Bliss and in another instant YSle's cap
tain had snapped tho ball to Laurie, and
that man, with the ball safe in his arms,
started at breakusck speed for goal.
He ran around the right end and before
the Princeton players could recover from
their surprise, Bliss was burying the ball
and Butterworth was getting ready to
kick. Greenwsy had guarded the end
well and Pop" BLISS, Butterworth, aud
Hinkey had assisted to good effect.
Butterworth kicked the goal aud while
six points were being posted to Ysle's
credit on the same board, the air was
darkened with ale blue. During the
rest Of this half Yale acted on the defen-
sive but kept the ball well into Prince
toms territory. The half ended with no
further scoring, the ball being left on
Princeton's 80 yard line, Poe having just
caught clever punt of Butterworth's.
The second Half.
During the ten minutes rest between
the halls HefIiehnSer, Rhodes, Harvey,
Corbin, Beecher, MoClung, and Gill,
famous for their work for Yale in the
football field, took occasion to tell all
their friends thaJ Yale WAS going to put
up big surprise in the second half
| What the surprise was no body ever knew,
as Princeton was on her met5le and
forced the play from the start.
After teu minutes play Yale got the
ball into Prinoet1n's territory, and ten
minutes later Stil.man scored touch
down for Yale, not through any brilliant
play, but simply because he happened to
be within ten yards of goal in time to
follow up punted ball.
( Stillman was widely cheered by the
Yale men, however, for his good judg-
meut. Butterworth kicked the goal, and
Yale had IL points to her credit, while a
dismal cipher marked the efforts Of
| Princeton.
After the touchdown Princeton took
the ball from centre and kept it in Yale 3
ground for nearly 80 minutes. Three
times they had the ball within ten yards
of goal, but on each occasion they failed
to score. On the last trial Yale got the
ball and It was rapidly pushed to the
centre and into Princeton's territory.
Then matters grew hot 1t looked as
though Yale might score again at any
time -Four times did ''Pop" Bliss run,
but thrice he gained nRught and once but
three yards. Butterworth forced the ball
but to no effect. Princston's intorference
was superb and the ball. when time was
called, remained on PrinceUon's 10 yard
line.
1t was a good victory for Yale, as
Princeton put up one OF the best fights in
the history OF the game. The crowds of
spectators brokk in upon the players at
the close of the game and for ten min
utes Mccormick and the rest of the ale
boys had to submit to vigorous hand
shaking
Inf half an hour after the game the
grounds were deserted and the various
street car lines and "L" roads were
packed TO their utmost capacity with the
people hurrylng to get home or TO some
dinner or theatre. The weather was bit
terly cold, Uut no one complained. The
sight was worth the suffering.
