Princeton dropped a beautiful field goal
from Yale's 45-yard line. 1t was an in
glorious ending for an otherwise bril-
liant season.
The score does not adequately show
YaIe's superiority oyer Princeton.
Princeton was really outclaSsed at all
points Of the game except In the KICK
ing department. Here Dewitt held the
honors, but his beautiful pUnting was
minimized by the very clever work OF
the Yale back field.

The Yale men played like fends incar-
nate and the Princeton players were
but a trihe less reckless. Early in the
second half. Yale secured the ball on
her 5o-yard line, and by hard. straight
foot bali carried it to within two feet OF
Princeton's goal. Here the orange and
black line held like a rock ana Yale lost
what looked like a sure touchdown.
Time and again Yaleis neavy forwards
would bend Princeton's line back before
the play was started and several times
Glass broke through Dewitt, Prince
tons star guard and tackled the Prince
ton runner back of the line. Yale's Of

crumbled before the crushing line plays
of Yale.
