showed his wonderful kicking ability by
placing some magnificent punts down the
field. two of them being for over sixty
yards. A few minutes before time was
called Desaulles made his first sensational
run OF the day, carrying the ball back
after a kick for twenty-five yards through
the entire Princeton team. There were
some injuries during the half. but no one
left the field.
When the teams lined up for the secon1
half 1t was seen that Lathrop had taken
Cochran's place at right end, and Prince
ton ended the game without her captain.
The punting began again with even great
err terceness. Each team would try
couple of runs aud then would come Kick
and for few minutes the bah seemed IN
the air most OF the time. Yale, however,
was apparently playing with far greater
confidence, and when at last Wheeler
caught one OF McBride's punts on Prince
toms five-yard line. and Instead Of max
ing a fair catch put the bah TO Baird. and
the latter was pushed over the line for
seeming safety, the crowd went crazy. This
score was not allowed. and Wheeler on the
first down kicked out of danger. Then
came a series of plays which In the end
won the game for Yale. Hard rushes into
the Princeton line by the Yale backs began
to tell on the Princeton team. First Reiter
went out and Kelly took his place, al
though. strange enough he had been kept
on the side lines up to this time. Then
Baird was injured and soon, showing him.
self TO be unfit for play was led from the
field weeping. Burke taking his place. This
weakening Of the Princeton team put addi-
tional life into Yale. From the thirty
yard line Mcbride tore through the center
for three yards: Benjamin added four more
and Dudley carried the ball by a marvellous
run to Princeton's twelve-yard line. On
the next rush Capt Rodgers put the ball
on the six-yard line. Princeton was too
eager, and Edwards interfered with the
ball and Yale got five yards for the OF
side play. This put the ball within twelve
inches Of the goal, from which point Dud-
ley easily went over the line for the first
and only touchdown. Cadwalader kicked
goal without trouble
To be sure, Yale did not score another
point. but the Princeton team saw some OF
the most marvellous rushes Of the season.
when Desaulles. catching the ball on long
punts by Wheeler. lodged the entire
Princeton team and ran once forty yards
and again thirty. which proved the long
est dashes In the game.
The Tigers brace Up Too Late.
But even this did not entirely discourage
the Tigers. Led by Kelly, the team took
brace that has seldom been equaied.
the Tigers piowed through the Yale line
for gains of FIVE and ten yards tHtil the
ball was on Yale's twenty-fve-yasd line,
when a miserable tumble lost Princeton
the ball and perhaps the game. This was
the nearest that Princeton came 10 scor-
ing during the entire game. Twice Yale
placed the ball on Princeton's five-yard
line. only TO be thrown back FOR loss.
Barnard was injured. and Ayers took his
place. Booth came of the field and Dickey
went into the center, but stiil with these
fresh men. the Tigers could not get near
the Yale line. Two minutes before time
was called Yale made her last attempt at
scoring. Benjamin could do nothing
against Princeton's !ne but Dudley
Rodgers and Mcbride were sent through
for gains. Dudley seemed TO find the best
holes. while Rodgers duplicated his first
run through Holt for ten yards. until the
hail for the last time was on Princeton's
hve-yard line. when time was called and
the game was over
The tackles on the Yale team were
slightly superior to Princeton, while the
ends were far and away ahead of the
Tigers. Hail and Hazen went down ON all
the kicking like lightning. while Cochrane
Lathrop and Craig were painfully slow
and To this was doubtless due the long
runs OF pesaulles. Baird PLAYED well
while he lasted and ran the team with n
| good idea OF the players, but pesauiIes
was nearly his equal and far superior TO
Burke. Back Of the lines Dudley was the
shining star. while BENJAMIN aud Ran
nard Were about on a par, for neither
seemed at his hest Again as long as he
lasted Baird gained greater distance on
punts than Mcbride. hut the latter nut-
kicked Wheeler. The lineup was as fol-
