new Haven, Nov. 26.-Before 10000
people, Princeton yesterday afternoon
administered defeat to Yale by the
score of IL to 10. The game was again
won by member of the Poe family.
The same Arthur Poe who in last
years game made a 90-yard run for
the touchdown which defeated the
wearers of the blue, again pulled the
game out of the fire and won for the
Tigers.
1t was In a new and unexpected capa-
city, however, as 1t was by a drop
kick that he scored five points. 1t
was in the last minute of play, with
the score 10 to in favor of Yale. The
ball was on the Ellis 35- yard line and
Princeton had almost a substitute
team in the field, nearly all the regular
men having been knocked out Poe,
who has never been known to kick
or even attempt to kick a field goal,
dropped back. Smiles of derision over
spread the faces of the Yale contingent
at this seemingly foolish play. but the
ball was snapped back and the little
end lifted it straight and square be-
tween the Yale goal posts, making the
score IL to 10 in Princeton's favor.
A few seconds later time was called.
In the first half Princeton scored her
touchdown on fine line plunging and
end running by her backs, Reiter in
particular playing a remarkable game
and making the longest runs of the
day. He it was who scored the touch
down and Wheeler kicked the goal.
Shortly after Brown, Yale's big
guard, blocked Full Back Wheeler's S
kick and, as the ball rolled back of the
Princeton goal Captain Mcbride, of
Yale, fell on it for the New Haven
boys first score. Brown missed a diff
ficult goal. Score, Princeton, 6; Yale, s..
Not long after this Yale had the
ball on Princeton's 45-yard line. Half
Back Sharpe fell back for a kick and
after he had received the ball from
Quarter Back Fincke made one of the
finest drop kicks in the annals of COL
legiate foot ball, the ball sailing clean
between the posts. Score, Yale, 10;
Princeton, 6.
Throughout the second half Yale
played a strictly defensive game, and
it looked as though she would win un-
til Poe's heart-breaking field goal
gave Princeton the game. The play
towards the finish of the contest was
terribly rough, eight Princeton players
being forced to leave the field. For
Princeton magnificent work was done
by Captain Edwards, at guard, Tackle
Hillebrand, Reiter, Hutchinson and her
two ends. Palmer and Poe, who out
classed their Yale opponents. On the
