sell the SIdT lDdC many udu iiiAi
after seeing his work against Harvard.
With Princeton's heavy lines he was able
only once to break through and prevent
Jerems from kicking, but this time re-
suited in touchdown for the orange ana
black. Both quarters played a STEADY
game, there being scarcely tumble on
the part of either of them.
Yale's greatest strength lay in her half
backs, especially Thorn. He seemed to
realize to the full extent that this would
be his last chance TO work for Ola Eli on
the gridiron, and the vim and dash which
he put into every move was something
seldom seen in football 1t is not an
exaggeration to say that he put up the
best individual game at halfback that had
ever been seen on Manhattan field. He
made two out of the four touchdowns
scored by Yale, and one of these by his
own efforts unaided by any interference
The ball had been passed to hlm TOR
punt, but on looking up he saw Prince
ton making straight toward him. quick
as a fash Thorn had caught the ball
and lodged safely past his opponent.
The field was comparatively open before
him, and so he kept right on lodging
right and left every man who came near
him until he had at last placed the ball
safely down behind the goal line after
run of forty yards, thus making Yale's
fourth and last score. 1t was certainly
marvellous performance, for Princeton's
backs had fallen back to receive his punt,
and if they had been players of the first
order they would never have allowed
Thorn to get past them in the manner he
IL
behind the line which brought victory
once more to the blue.
Almost on a par with this performance
was the run of Bass in the first half. The
circumstances of his run were almost
identical with those which characterized
that of Suter in the Princeton Harvard
game, excepting that Bass secured touch
down while Suter failed of his. The ball
was in Princeton's possession on her forty
yard line. 1t was passed to Rosengarten,
but he fumbled it and the ball rolled out
to the right of the scrimmage. Bass saw
it, and gathering the oval in his arms was
off toward Princeton's goal in a fash.
Cochran saw it too and went tearing after
Bass, but Murphy was interfering for the
latter and Cochran, although q good
runner, was unable to get within tackling
distance of Bass and the latter scored the
first touchdown for Yale, bringing Joy to
the heart of many man and maiden, as
a host OF blue flags studded the great
human mass.
Other touchdowns were won by straight
football, by which the Princeton line was
rushed back inch by inch, hotly contesting
every bit of the ground.
Princeton braced up in the second half
and put up a game at least so per cent bet
ter than her opening exhibition. One of
her touchdowns was also well earned by
hard play, but the other was characterized
by more or less of the element Of chance.
The Princeton team came on the field at
exactly 2:02 o'clock, followed almost i'm
mediately by Yale. a short practice en-
sued, Princeton taking the west end while
Yale went through some of her signals UP
next 10 the clubhouse. Yale won the toss
and chose the east goal to defend.
Bass got the ball on Princeton's 45-yard
line by a tumble of Rosengarten's, and
aided by Murphy's interference touched
the ball down behind the Tigers goal line.
