YALE AND PRINCETON
HOW THE GREAT GAME WAS
PLAYED.
The Sons of Eli Were Fit in Their
Training and Matchless in Their
Team Work.

In the Yale-Princeton game aside
from the general excellence of the Yale
team, the feature of the play was to be
found in the entire absence of unfair
tatics. During the game lasting near
ly two hours including the intermission
and the time taken out by delays re-
suting from injuries, two penalties
were imposed, the rival teams being
equally guilty.
The game was won by Yale as a re-
suit of the simplest kind of old-fashion-
ed football, rendered effective by entire
consistency in team play and physi-
cal condition which enabled the Sons of
Eli to last through grueling contest.
Princeton, on the other hand, displayed
a tendency to go to pieces at times, and
throughout the game her men required
frequent nursing. Yale played through
out the 10 minutes of actual time with a
single change. Princeton found it
necessary to call upon seven substitutes
and the introduction of these half-doZen
fresh men enabled her to make a superb
finish of a contest which had been al
together uphill. Yale's goal line was
never in danger Indeed, the Princeton
players never reached a point nearer
Yale's goal than the 30-yard line. Yale
scored two touch-downs, one in each
half and each of these scores was con-
verified cleverly into a goal by Olcott.
Yale's tOuchdoWns came as result of
a superbly developed system of line
plungng. The famous tackles back for
nations in all their variations Melted
the greatest gains. Yale's backs, as
sisted by as sprightly a set of forwards
as could be asked for, found holes in
the Princeton line which enabled them
to make gains when they once found
their pace, and touchdowns were in
eVitable with the magnificent team
work displayed by Yale. Yale's first
touchdown was made after about 10
minutes of play. A tumble by Prince
ton at the center of the field gave Yale
her chance, and, seizing the ball on
Princeton's 50-yard line, the Yale men
in 10 plays forced the ball over for the
first score.
Yale required about 20 minutes of play
in the second half to score the second
touchdown. This score, like its prede-
cessor, came as a result of straight foot
ball, made possible by great strength
and superior team play Honors We're
evenly divided as to kicking. DeSaulles
the little Yale quarterback, holding his
own amazingly well with Dewitt. In
the handling of kicks, Princeton eX-
celled a trifle. In the matter of scrim-
images, however, Yale's play was i'm
pressively 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 game Yale
did not let up until the first touchdown
had been made. Then she resorted 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 chung to the ball amazingly
and confined the play to the Tigers
territory until another six points and
been added to the Yale score.
When the score was IL to against
then, the Prncetons disclosed that
'never-say-die" spirit which so often
has won great victories in the past and
gave superb exhibition of "last-ditch"
