0. The score, according to the
experts who witnessed the game, repre-
sents accurately the superiority OF the
sons of Eli. Aside from the general ex-
cellence of the Yale -eam the feature OK
the play was to be found in the enllre
absence OF unfair tactics. During the
game, lasting nearly two hours including
the intermission and the time taken out
by delays resulting from injuries, put
two penalties were imposed, the rival
teams being equally guilty.
On two occasions players were warned
by the umpire for tactics unnecessarily
rough, but on these occasions, as in the
instances of offside play, the dishonors
were even.
The game was won by Yale as result
of the simplest kind of old-fashioned foot
ball, rendered effective by entire con-
sistency in team play and physical con-
dition which enabled the sons OF Ell 10
'1ast" through a gruellng contest. Prince

dency to go to pieces at times, ana
throughout the game her men REQUIRED

the seventy minutes Of actual play with
a single accident, when captain hunzlg
of the varsity boat crew took the place
of Goss at left tackle. Princeton 1ouno

tutes, and the Introduction of these hal1-

Honors Divided as to Kicking.
Honors were evenly divided as to kick
ing, De .SaulIes, the little Yale quarter
back, holding his own amazingly well
with De Witt In the handling Of kicks
Princeton excelled tri1e. In the matter
of scrimmages, however, Yale's play was
impressively cleaner, Princeton time and
again losing the ball on deplorable FUN
bles Throughout the game the play was
largely in Princeton's territory
From the Kickoff at the start of the
game Yale did not let up until the first
| touchdown had been made Then she re-
sorted to the kicking game and the
scrimmages were confined to the middle
of the field. So, too, in the second half
the New Haven boys clung to the ball
amazingly. and confined the play to the
Tigers territory until another six points
| had been added to the Yale score.
| When the score was twelve to nothing
| against them the Princetons disclosed
| that neversay-die spirit, which so often
| has won great victories in the past and
| gave a superb exhibition of ''last-ditch''
