New-York tribune., 1901-11-17

Yale's cheering leaders called for cheer for
Princeton, and it rang out over the field sharplS
and crisply as a succession of rifle shots.
Princeton was not to be outdone in courtesy
and Yale got three ''locomotives'' with the uh-
familiar word Yale attached thereto. what
the diplomatists call the entente cordiaie was
further increased when the Yale bang STUCK un
up the Princeton song. "IR Praise OF Old mas
sau My Boys" and the Ellis took it up and sang
it through with gusto 1t is a fine old song; ana
1t sounds pretty nearly as well from 1aie aS
from Princeton lips.
A brief cheer that went up and then stopped
as though somebody had turned II OH arose
when Princeton won the toss and Captain fel
chose the north goal. AS usual perfect quiet
reigned. and the referee spotted the bail at the
centre of the field. and the two elevens drew
up opposite each other for the first time Hoit
elected TO kick off for Yale.
THE GAME BEGINS.
He looked at the ball critically. approached
it. slowly at first and then with quickening
pace, and then lifted it with his toe 1t was
not good effort, for the pigskin went only
twenty yards before it landed in the arms OF
Dewitt, the big tackle.
Princetons confidence that Dewitt woud
outkck De Saulles. and her determination 10

made plain from her very first play. Al
the signal Dewitt fell back out of line ana
prepared to kick. He lifted the leather out OF
bounds at Yale's 42-yard line, and the two
teams were at last lined UP within arms length 4a

eastern stand flashed into blue in the sa'ilgnt'
and the 'Brek- -ek-ek-ek-coaN-coaX' rang out IN
good style, for il was a sensational gain WIN
which to start the ball a-rolling. Olcott crashed
through Dana for three yards. and Hart adaeo

plays were made in uproar that beggars de-

through for five yards and saved the distance
FIRST MAN INJURED
Here play was stopped for the first of Prince
tons many injuries. When the whistle blew
again Hart hit PeIl's position hard that he
got over but the little halfback dropped the ball
and il went to Princeton, on her 1l-yard line,
hugely to the delight of the Tiger .rooters'
who had begun to fear the worst. Princeton
tried fake punt, Dewitt passing the pan
to McCiave. who was, however, downed with no
gain. On the second down Dewitt went PACK
to punt He dropped the ball in De Sauiles
arms at the middle of the field, but the little
quarterback lodged cleverly that he landed
the leather on Princeton's 40-yard line again
before he thrown
Hart tried Henry's end. but the latter dropped
him promptly. and Pell followed suit on the
next attempt, and De Saulles tried a goal from ON
the field on the 40-yard line. The ball was ten
yards short and fell into McClaves arms, VINO
could only it hack five yards before the
Yale forwards were upon him. Dewitt STOOD
nor ,,Don the order of his punting, but punted
at once Here De Saues for once was at fault
for the ball bounded out of his arms ana ioiled
over toward the eastern boundary. The Prince
ron ends were after it. but little Hart made
circus dive over one of them and landed on the
leather just in time to save 1t for the Blue. II
was a clever and cool play, and merited the
perfect blast of cheers that it received
TIGERS BEGIN TO YIELD.
Again the Yal. backs began to hammer the
heavy but yielding line against them, and Chad
wick Weymouth and Hart plugged out each.
two. three and five yards apiece, despite all
Princeton could do to stop them. The Princeton
forwards were overmatched. despite their
weight by the fighting players in front OF theiIl'
and there was always hole of some size await
ing the Yale backs when they got there Thus
the ball was hammered back to the Tigers Do
yard mark when a tumble gave Princeton an
other chance. Foulke managed to get. through
H Ogan two yards, and then Dewitt punted
De SauHes did not muff thisstine, but Davis was
upon him like fash. and dropped him at ale S
Dewitt threw Chadwick for loss. and De
Saulles punted to Princeton's 4o-yards line the
poorest punt he made all day. Gould missed the
runner and McClave got the ball back ten yards
in consequence. A fake tackle back play profted
that cost the Tigers a touchdown in the end, for
Swan was on hand and kicked the pigskin down
the field, and. picking II up on the run, was
off for the goal Fouke caught him seventeen
yards therefrom. however. and Princeton
breathed again.
Yale lined up for business now, and did not
lose the ball again until she had landed il be-
hind Princeton's goal posts Plain. hard line
bucking did the trick. Hart failed to gain, but
De Saulles three yards on double pass.
On tackle back play Weymouth got as far as
the 12-yard line although the referee had to
measure the distance to make sure that 1t was
the first down. Chadwick banged into the line
for a total Of four yards and on the S-yard line
Foulke was hurt and the Tigers had breathing
spell.
YALE KICKS A GOAL.
Yale was not to be stopped, however. and the
hammerng kept up. Not more than two yards
were made in any play, but the total
enough. and despite the frantic efforts of the
Tigers Weymouth finally pushed over for
the touchdown. Before the goal kicked the
Yale cohorts went wild. as is their custom
such occasions, Of which there many, but
Princeton. though much concerned, did not give
up by any means, and the locomotives kept
on booming out from the west stand with
more vigor than before. Olcott kicked the goal,
which was not difficult one. and the "Boola'
song of triumph again rang out.
Yale played for time during the rest of the
half. De Witt kicked off Yale's goal line
and De Saulles punted from the 25-yard mark
back to the territory CT the Orange and Black
Then Pell made his first and only run of con-
sequence, landing the bali Yales 4S-yard line,
clean gain Of seventeen yards, feat which
brought out renewed salvo of locomotives"
The next play gained nothing, and De Witt
punted to the 1o-yard line which was the
nearest Princeton ever got to the Blues goal
DE Saulles caught the punt, but he was nailed
on the spot by Davis who was up the field like
q Shot. Yale did not punt until a double pass
had failed to gain. Then De SaulIes lifted the
leather to the centre Of the field. Foulke juggled
