Now thc Game Was Played.


The history of the game WIS one Of the
thorough supremacy Of Princeton over
Yale Not only was the team representing
the college that has been beaten but three
times outplayed in the matter of new
tricks, but it was easily demonstrated that
the Blues were outclassed in every particu-
lar While Yale's center was far heavier
than Princeton's, its men individually
were no match for the Tigers, aud Bal
lets l75 pounds were far more effective
than Stillman's 206 pounds. In fact Prince
ton outplayed Yale in mass work, In in
dividunl work and better than all in gem
eralship.
Perhaps one of the things that told more
particularly against Yale is the fact that
she became discouraged at being unable to
use with any effect her famous center
wedge. Time and again Butterworth,
whose rushes through Harvard's center at
Springfield last Saturday won for Yale the
game, was pushed up through Princeton's
center, but never was a gain made of more
than five yards and in the majority OF cases
much less than that.
In the end work Yale was still weaker.
Holly, Wheeler and Taylor, with Captain
rrenchard, effectually blocked every at
tempt which Yale made to get around, and
Thorne and Armstrong on Yale's back
were no match for Morse and Ward Of
Princeton. Blake, who played fullback
for Princeton and who was supposed to be
rather weak in the position, developed re-
markable strength and was equal II not at
times superior to Butterworth.
Behind the center line the remarkable
part Of Princeton's playing was Kings
work at quarter, his display Of headwork
winning for him the commendation Of all
lovers of the game Especially was this
demonstrated when at critical moments
| Princeton needed to make a gain to save
them the ball. In the first half Princeton
was cautious, while Yale, probably de
pending on its former record and thinking
itself impregnahle, chose 10 act on the Of
fensive. The result was disastrous TO Yale.
An Exciting Scene.
Before 90 minutes of the first half had
been played the positions were reversed,
and Princeton was playing an offensive
game, while Yale was compelled by force
of circumstances to be on the defensive.
For Yale, Captain Hinkey seemed to have
a lack of different plays, and but one OF
two things were resorted to, either striving
to put Butterworth through the center oi
Thorne or Armstrong around the end. In
almost every case these plays were blocked
On the contrary, Captain Trenchard gave
his men variety that rather astonisheC
a. certainly surprised Yale. For instance
during the critical portion of the play i
would have seemed as if Princeton SHOULD
have punted. Instead of that the ball wa
crisscrossed from Ward TO Morse, the latte
going around Yale's end for 30 yards.
In interference Yale's men were not q
/ -. Of
King, Wheeler, Lea and Trenchard max
ing remarkable records in this respect.
The most exciting scene of the day wa
when Captain Hinkey of Yale was carrie'
from the field, his ear half torn of ant
blood gushing all over his uniform. Thre
, men had to fight and struggle with him an
drag him with all their might to the dress
ing room. He wouldn't have il and didn'
intend to submit to it. When they told hiI
they only wanted to patch him up, it wa
all right, and he went with them, but th
I young man looked as though he woul
! have waded through blood and fire ha
thcy attempted TO force him TO remain ol
4 the field When he had been sufficient
! patched, he tore out on the field with a ski
hop and jump, and paid no attention TO On
2 terrific cheers of the multitude nor to am
, thing else, but went ON with his game.
