600 people Witnessed the contest, and the
enthusiasm liner eased from the time the
hall vas nrst kicked off until time was
called at the end OF the second half,
vbsn the seose stood 20 to 10 in Yals's
Ayor. The star PLAYER Of toda IS sirng-
sls was Thorns, the liRht-hairsd ca plain
Of the Yale team, and he covered himself
with glory. The manner In which be
bucked the Tigers line was phenomenal,
% were his long runs aiound the ends.
Time and again he received the Rag from
baird's punts and advanced the ball Tor
long gairs. aud once he started from
1rineeton's 65-yard line and carried the
BALL to . touchdown through the entire
Princeton continHsnt, with practically
no Interference. Finrks was also a
sround-gainer for Yale. and played good

his lightness he often succeeded IN ad-
vancing the ball with several OF the Tiger
players hanging Oh 20 him. When Bass

and Armstrong did SONS xood work IN
buckine the Yale line. When Armstrong
WAS forced to retire and Kelly took his
place, the spectators were ire ited TO
beautiful series OF plays by that compar.

PLAYER ably supported Kelly and must
isceive rar' of the credit which Princeton
received for the hracs they took in rush

Thompson's substitute did the best
tackline OF the game for he got down the

receiver OF the ball bsf re he had moved.
The game was remarkably free from trick
plays.
The Tigers did try a double pass or two

gains on fall kicks, but aside from this
the PLAYING was srsightforward. old-fash-
Toned football.
Once during the game Thorne attempt

tempt failed and the effort was nsver re-
peated. The strength of Princeton's line
was considerably weakened by the
changes which were made to allow Cap
tain Lea TO play left end, while the Yale
hnes were stronger than at any other
time during the present season.
