ng startling could have taken place.
But it had. Yale had
Scored "a Touchdown,
and Butterworth was preparing TO kick
a goal. 1t was an event that aStOunded
The crowd, but when it had learned
what had happened-that Yale, by
clever trick. had started off in the face
OF the wind with score-itS applause
was deafenIng.
Two trials had been made, and the
ball advanced thirteen yards into
Princeton's territory. Mccormick mo
toned to Laurie Bliss, and IN another
instant Yale's captain had snapped the
ball to Laurie. and that man. with the
ball safe in his arms, started at break
neck speed for the goal. lie ran around
the right end, and before the Princeton
players could recover from their sur
prise, Bliss was burying the ball
and ButterwOrth was getting ready to
kick. Greenway had guarded the end
well. and Pop" Bliss, ButterWOrth and
Hinckley had assisted to good effect.
Butterworth kicked The goal, and while
4 points were posted to Yale's credit on
the blackboard, the air was darkened
with Yale blue.
The rest of this half Yale acted on
the defensive, but they kept the ball
we'll into Princeton's territory. The
half ended with no further scoring, the
ball being on Princeton's thirty-yard
line, Poe having just caught a clever
punt of ButterWorth's.
Princeton Forced the Play.
During the ten minutes rest between
the halves. A. Jetfelfinger, Corbin.
Beecher, Rhodes, Harvey, McClnng and
Gill. famous for their work for Yale Ill
the foot ball field, took occasion to tell
all their friends that Yale was going to
put up big surprise in the second
half. What Che surprise was nobody
ever knew, as Princeton was on her
mettle and forced the play from the
start. After ten minutes play, Yale
got the ball into Princeton's territory,
and ten minutes later Stillman scored a
touchdown for the blue, not through
any brilliant play, but supply because
he happened to be within ten yards Of
the goal in time to follow punted BALI
Stillman was wildly cheered by the
Yale men, however, Tor his good Judg-
ment. ButterWOrth kicked the goal
and Yale had twelve points to her cred
it, while a dismal cipher marked the
efforts of Princeton.
After the touchdown Princeton took
the ball from the center and kept it i'll
Yale's ground for nearly thirty minutes.
Three times they had the ball within
ten yards or goal, but on each occasion
they
Failed TO Score.
On the last trial Yale got the ball, and
it was rapidly pushed to the center 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 twice
he gained naught. and once but three
yards. ButterWorth forced the ball, but
to no effect. Princeton'S interference
was superb. and the ball, when time
was called, remained on Princeton'S tif-
teen-Yard line.
1t was great day for Yale, as Prince
ton put up one of the strongest games
in the history of the game. The crowds
of spectators broke in upon the players
at the close of the game, and for ten
minutes Mr.. Mccormick and the rest of
the Yale boys had to submit to enthusl-
astic handShaking. In half an hoar aft
Ell the game the grounds were deserted
and the various street car lines and "L''
roads were packed to their utmost ca
pacity with the people hurrying to get
home or to dinner, or some theater.
The weather was bitterly cold, but no
one complained. The sight was worth
the suffering.
