the end won the game for Yale. Hard
rushes into the Princeton line by the
Yale backs began TO tell on the Prince
ton team. first Reiter went out and
Kelly took his place, although, strange
enough, he had been kept on the side
lines up 10 this time. Then Baird was
injured, and soon showing himself to
be unfit for play. was led from the field
weeping, Burke taking his place.
This weakening OF the Princeton
team put additional life into Yale.
From the 30-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 12-yard line.
DUDLEY'S TOUCHDOWN.
On the next rush Captain Rodgers
put the ball n the six yard line.
Princeton was too eager, and Edwards
interfered with the ball and Yale got
five yards for the off-side play. This
put the ban within p inches of the goal,
from which point Dudley easily went
over the line for the first and only
! touchdown. CadWallader kicked a 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 De Saulles- catching the
ball on long punts by Wheeler, lodged
the entire Princeton team AMI ran once
40 yards and again 30, which proved the
! longest dashes in the game.
TIGERS NOT DISCOURAGED.
But even this did rot entirely discour-
age the Tigers. Led by Kelley, the
team took a brace that has seldom been
!
well punched. the Tigers ploughed
through the Yale line for gains of five
| and ten yards, until the ball was on
Yale's 25 yard line, when a miserable
| tumble lost Princeton the ball, and per
haps the game. This was the nearest
that Princeton came to scoring during
the entire game. Twice Yale placed the
ball on Princeton's five yard line. only
to be thrown back for a loss. Barnard
was injured, and Ayers took his place.
Booth came OFF the field, and Dickey
went into center, but still, with these
fresh men, the Tigers could not get
| near the Yale line.
LAST ATTEMPT OF YALE.
Two minutes before time was called
Yale made her last attempt at scoring.
Benjamin could do nothing against
Princeton's line, 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 ball for the last time was on
Princeton's Eve yard line when time
was called, and the game over.
TEAMS COMPARED.
The tackles on the Yale team were
slightly superior to Princeton, While the
ends were far and away ahead of the
Tigers. Hall and Hazen went down on
all the kicking like lightning, while
Cochrane, Lathrop and Craig were
painfully slow, and to this was doubt
less due the long runs OF De Saulles.
Baird played we'll while he lasted. and
ran the team with a good idea of the
players. but De Saulles was nearly his
equal, and far superior to Burke.
Back of the lines Dudley was the
shining star, While Benjamin and Ban
nard were about on a par, for neither
seemed at his best.
Again, as long as he lasted. BAIRD
gained a greater distance on punts thar
Mcbride, but the latter outkicked
Wheeler.
