Browns end, but the Jerseyman was too
much for him and he was downed without
| gain.
Another testing of Princeton's center re-
,ulted in three downs and a yard more of
gain. Butterworth dropped back as If for
4 kick, thus fooling the Tigers, while
Thorne was sent through the center for two
yards, and It was still Yale's ball, Hickok
got off side in the next play, though, and
Yale reluctantly gave up the ball to her op-
ponents.
Now the Tigers led off for one of the FIN
est plays of the gams. Morse took the ball
from King on q dead run and shot for l
Greenwsy's end. King was in the inter- |
ference in an instant, and all the other |
backs, With Lee and Trenchsrd, from the |
line, plowsd away like volley of grape
shot through Ysle's tacklers, and when
Butterworth downed the plucky little run
ner he hsd covered thirty five yards. and
had clear field before him. Princetonians
went wild.
The Tigers tried the center next, but,
only eating two yards, let Blake kick. 1t
was one of his best punts, and when But
terworth caught the ball it was only FIVE
yards from Yale's goal line. Armstrong
tried the end again, but King broke through
and tackled him we'll. Yale then tried
Butterworth between Ballet and Taylor
and gained couple of yards. These two
plays were repeated for three yards more
and it was first down on Yale's 1O-ysrd
line.
The wesrers of the blue then took a
brace, encouraged by deafsning cheers,
Princeton's center. Hinkey got around
Browns end for four yards more and But
terworth punted twenty five yards.
Princeton'e backs showed poor judgment
here in letting the ball bound, and thus
unnecessarily lost fyeysrds. Morse, how
ever, was given the ball and covered seven
teen yards around Greenway's end before
he was downed. Ward was then pushed
through McCres twice in succession, the
first time for four yards and the second for
two.
Princeton was evoking tremendous en-
thusiasm for her exquisite rushing when
she lost the ball on an of side play. Both
half backs were tried, but Yals's line could
not hold her opponents. Taylor got
through and the runners were downed in
their tracks. Here Yale tried trick
which she worked several times. The
backs, ends and tackles all went back and
formed what looked like flying wedge re-
versed. Butterworth stood in the rear at
the apex with the ball. The two sides of
the wedge then parted as they came pell-
NELL at Princeton's line, one side striking
nne end and the other the other. The OBJ
| jest of this was to beguile the backs to run
to the support of the line while Butter
worth kicked, and no one then bsing down
| the field for catch the Blues might get
the ball on side play and have clear field
for touch down.
The punt, though, was not brilliant, only
| covering twenty-five yards, and Blake, see
| ing the trick, ran straight into the ball and

| him like a panther, but it was too late,
Yale had lost the ball. Hinkey was run
| ming 80 hard that he struck Blake with his
| head and was severely cut. He left the
| field with blood flowing freely from be-
| hind his ear, but was doctored in the club
| house and came out again in less than five
| minutes and went on with the play with a
bandaged head.
The ball was now Princeton's on her As
yard line. King took it and tried for
| Greenway's end. The interference was
we'll broken up. though, and after long
| transverse run he was downed with only a
| courtyard gain and 1t was Yale's ball on a
/ tumble.
| Here Butterworth made the longest run
Yale made in the game. 1t was around
| Trenchard's end and covered thirty two
| yards. But Blake and King came upon
him and he went down in their grasp.
Yale then tried again the V to help But
terworth hit the line and advanced the ball
four yards, when King brought the runner

| time gained two yards. But the ball was
Princeton's on of side play and Blake'f
kick again sent the ball again far into Yale'f
territory. Thorne caught 1t.
Yale formed for the Y trick again, bu'
King, as soon as the ball was in play

like a shot, and Butterworth was downeo

30 Princeton got the ball, King catching
and then five yards were given the Tigers
for interference. The ball was at Prince
toms 90 yard line, tho nearest to her goa
that Yale was able to get 1t during thu
game.
Blake kicked back and Yale took it OF
Princeton's 40 yard line. Butterworth hi
the center hard, but Morse by phenome

gained on the next play through the cents
and touch down crowned the most bril-
liant series of plays a Princeton team hs
ever exhibited. King kicked off to Tren

ground for her, though both the half-backl
were also tried. Princeton was making
nice gains by her backs when time wa:

cheered their team enthusiastically.
The second half was opened with vim by
Yale. She gained fifteen yards on her irs'
play, flying wedge, and was adding small
but steady gains when she lost the ball or
tumble, and the Princeton backs began
their fun again. They cleared five yards
