sistent sI1ilful and powerful attack, and once.
when Yale had forced her to the last ditch, the
same being her own 2-yard line, she braced des-
perately and brought the entire Princeton stand

and taking the leather on downs. There were.
100 htful flashes Of brilliancy the part of the
TIGERS offence. but on the whole. YaIe's attack
was decidedly the better organized. and exc
cuted. and to this is owing the victory of the
Blue.
Both OF Yale's touchdoWns were made by Cap
tain Chadwick on long runs which followed a
successful attack on Princeton's line. The run
ner's interference started for Princeton's left
end as II TO circle it, and Princeton's men
massed at that point TO pile up the attack. Sud
denly Chadwick. accompanied by one man not
in the original formation. left the interference
and plunged through between Princeton's left
tackle and end On the first occasion Chadwick
got by everybody but Pearson, and then succeed

should have brought him down. After that
there was nobody TO stop him. and the run OF
forty yards was easy. The second touchdown
was made in almost identically the same way.
Yale's variable tandem had been repeatedly
worked with great success, and then the revOlv-
ing play called in. that the Princeton de-
fence WAS somewhat disorganized and bewil-

Then Chadwick flashed out. Both Pearson and
Henry plunged for him, but lie eluded both and

DE WITS PHENOMENAL GOAL.
De Wits goal from the field was worth COM

within the first ten minutes of play. and when
the big guard lifted the ball he was fifty yards
away from Ysle's goal posts, between which the
pigsldn sailed. a few minutes before De Witt
made similar attempt and missed by a margin
so narrow that the ball grazed the wrong side
of one OF the posts st fell. In the second
half the Tigers lost another chance for a goal
from the held by waiting for the third down
before giving De Witt a chance. for the
second down Yale got the ball for holding in
the line, and after that the opportunity did
not return.
