last glimpse they TO have or the pleasures OF
football life this season. Score-1a'e' D. rriice-

on the gridiron probably fifty times in the course
Of the game. and Dashiel was like sleuth on
/ his trail every time.
When McCord got his breath MATHS punted hneiy

Yale men rushed the play to midheld where Hall

ton until stilIman broke through with rush
and stopped Mattis's kick.
A CHANCE TO SCORE LOST.
That curious and terrible mechanism OF peer ana
skill was started up once again by captain Brown
and it landed the ball in jiffy on the Tiger 2I-
ward line Stillman and Hale did most Of the rush
ing each gaining at a whack anywhere from -FOUR
to fourteen yards. But at this point the ever
vigilant Reiter got the ball Stiman fumbled It,

start the swift Coy of Yale. and Fncke. who

little way beyond midfeld. The Princeton chance
for spectacular score gone.
THE BLUES STEADY WORK.
But the Jersey eleven useless the attack,
and Watts punted again. this time to Yale's
1o-yard line Fincke was waiting for the ball. and
although a half dozen Tigers almost had him in
their claws. he euded them all and dashed away
for a good fifteen yards. Here began again the
irresistible Yale attack that ground 5-yard
gains like clockwork. Finck and Chadwick both
made good dashes through the line and then Hale,
sttIlman and Bloomer took turns rushing. At
Princetons 5o-yard line Yale got offsde and lost
ten yards. But a whit daunted Hale put on
extra burst Of speed and in bull rush made
up the forfeit. Quarterback Wear kept the play at
a fast clip and Yale went down the field II she
had only wooden men TO oppose her Most of the
attacks were directed against Captain Peu. whose

thankfulness for even this negative blessing ran
through the Princeton men. The score stood,
Yale IL Princeton. 3, but it perfectly evident
that Yale had cinch on the game.
There were no changes in the teams when they
lined up for the second half. which began at 405
p. m. But, while the Princeton men looked jaded
and worn. the Yale players lively crickets.
And this despite the fact that they had thrice
