FOOTBALL

Princeton y. j., Nov. l2-The Prince
ton Tigers defeated the Sons OF Old Eli
on Brockaway field this afternoon by
the score Of six to nothing. While II was
one Of the most bitterly contes ted games
/ ever witnessed on a football field. il was
/ at the same time one OF the most unsatis-
factory, not alone 10 the Yale team and
their supporters. but also 10 the wearers
| of the orange and black and those who
| cheered them on 10 victory.
The solitary touchdown was made on
a miserable tumble by right Half-back
Benjamin. when the ball was within Is
yards Of Princeton's goal. The ball had
! been carried down the field by the Yale
team by steady plunges into the Prince
ton line, carried by an occasional end run.
until in play between Princeton's 20 and
25-yard line. The teams lined up and De-
/ SaulleS signalled for Benjamin TO go
/ through left tackle, position in Prince
( toms line which was awfully weak. The
ball was passed and Benjamin dived into
/ the mass of humanity. A second later
/ the ball was seen 10 roll clear of the
/ bunch Of players and advance few feet
/ towards Princetons goal line. Quick as
a flash Poe the Tigers right end, had
! gathered up the ball and was sprinting
down the field with Chamberlain. Still
man and Benjamin in hot pursuit. The
/ further he ran the greater was he in the
lead, until in less time than il takes 10
write it he had planted the ball squareIy
between posts Of the much-coveted goal
Of Yale. When Poe started on his s5-yard
run up the field the scene which follow
ed beggars description. The entire stands
which surround the field were one surg
ing, yelling mass of humanity in an in
l n
nifty aside for the time being and joined
with the younger but none the less en-
| thusiaStic football cranks in their cheers
or Poe and Princeton. 1t was several
minutes before the game could proceed
on account of the jubilant Tiger sup
porters crowding on the field. Later in
the game when the excitement ran high,
SPECTATORS who had seats in the grand
stand left their places and surged on the
side lines, the management making no
effort to clear the field
Today'S game was a repetition of the
game at Cambridge on last Saturday be-
tween the University of Pennsylvania
and Harvard. In the latter game the
wearers of the Red and Blue gained al
most three times as much distance on
bucking as did their opponents. while
Harvard scored on a tumble. The same
would carry the ball down the field to-
wards the Tigers goal, only to lose it
on an exasperating tumble.
On one occasion Yale carried the ball
by plunges into the line Is yards. finally
losing II on a tumble within ~ yards OF
the Princeton goal.
Princeton was content TO play on the
defensive until within about 10 minutes
before the game was called and IL looked
as though they had been instructed in
this point by their coacher. Their entire
effort at line-bucking during the first half
and for ~ minutes of the second half
Melted them, all told, about 80 yards. while
their opponents had carried the ball four
times this distance
Yales play in the main was directed
against Princeton's left tacke. the one
weak spot in the Tigers line.
Lawrence. Kan, Nov 12-The Kansas
City Medics forfeited the football game
this afternoon TO the University of Kan
sas after twenty-five minutes play, by
score Of six TO nothing. Smith, the
Kansas tackle, put up a rough game and.
it was charged, kicked Lewis during a
scrimmage toward the close Of the hrst
half. The officers refused to disquaIify
Smith, and, as the NEEDLES claimed this
was his second fragrant onense. Captain
Heller withdrew his team and forfeited
the game Kansas had outplayed the
Doctors from start TO finish.
