REFERS GREAT RUN.
A series of ineffective plunges by
Princeton induced Hutchinson to call
upon Reiter for an end run The ball
was put in play with dispatch, and the
spectators were treated to the first
hair-raising incident of the contest.
Reiter pocketed himself in a bunch of
fellow players, and, before their oppo-
nents were aware of it, he was sprint
ing over the gridiron lines in marvellous
fashion. Yale tacklers, one after the
other, were bowled over by this inter-
ference, which was one of the most re-
markable pieces of work ever seen on
the Yale field. He was finally stopped
but he had gone 80 yards, and the ball
was but a short five yards from the
coveted goal line.
Here Yale put up her famous last
ditch" defense, and twice the backs
We're sent at Princeton's line without
success. On the next trial, however,
spurred on, apparently, by sheer des-
peration, Reiter was borne across for
touchdown, and the score stood
Princeton s. Yale 0. The scoring had
been done in II minutes. The ball
crossed the line we'll toward a corner,
and Wheeler punted out for a better

squarely before the goal posts on the
2O-yard line, and there Wheeler kicked
the goal easily making the score,
Princeton 6, Yale 0.

McCord went through Hale and Olcott
for five more. Another end play fizzled
and Wheeler punted Sharpe caught it

stage, the Yale captain coming out
with a trifle the better of it, When

by Princetonians. Both dove for the
ball and both missed it, but Mcbride
recovered himself and got the ball for
touchdown. The score was now:
Princeton 6; Yale 5. The kick for goal
was made from the field, but it was
exceedingly difficult. Brown failed.
GOAL FROM FIELD.
Wheeler kicked off to Fincke who
made a quick pass to Sharpe The lat
ter kicked the ball to Princeton,s 30
yard line. Yale tried one rush and
then Mcbride kicked into touch.
Princeton brought the ball out to her
20 yard line and another exchange of
kicks followed. Kean and Mcbride
took the ball from Princeton's As yard
line for yards, but Kean made a fail
ure at plunge to the center and the
situation was desperate from a Yale
standpoint. Yale generalship displayed
striking boldness, for the signal was
given for a try at a field goal
Sharpe dropped back and stood on
Princeton's As yard line. The specta-
tors could scarcely believe their eyes
when it was appreciated that Sharpe
was to try a drop kick at that dis
lance. The attempt was rendered all
the more difficult because it would
have to be made at an angle With
the great throng breathless, Hale.
