Yale men broke It up 80 effectively that Reiter
did not gain a single yard. The play was tried
once more, with no gain. and It was Ynle's ball
on downs.
Princeton right there began to realize that
Yale's line was stronger than anybody had be-
Meved, and the crowd in the orange and black
stand, whilo still cheering bravely, began to
look puzzled. Dudley, the freshman. now began
some heavy line bucking. lilo made FIVE yards

The latter dropped the ball. and when Rodgers

struggled on the ground, and when tho bunch
was finally disintegrated 1t was found that
Cochran was writhing with pain. Baird ran OK

Baird's words as tho Princeton trainer rushed

to leave the game and take no further chances,
he remained. and the play was resumed. 1t was
an accident, though. which worried not only the
entire Princeton team. but the Nassau sympa-
thizers, and they closely watched every move

YALE's NARRow ESCAPE.
When the ball was put in play Mcbride was
beaten back from the centre and then punted
the ball out of bounds at the centre OF the field.

the Tigers were losing their bearings.
