goal He ran back twenty yards before Dillon
dropped him. Farmer dropped Lack as IL to
punt and then ran ten yards through a hole
that Bloomer opened up. Rockwell mixed his
signals SO that Mitchell made no gain on his
attempt and punted for the first time Princeton
taking the hall for the first 'ccasion on her own
50-yard line.
Things opened UP with rush for the Tigers,
and their friends on the benches grew fairly
delirious. Kafer leaped at once into prominence.
Keeling Off gain after gain. Five yards and six
yards he ploughed along between Kinney and
Rafferty,. putting the climax his work by
circlng Ranerty's end for twenty yards, the
Tiger interference completely boxing up the Yale
captain. After De Witt and Miller had each
added short gains. the ball was en- Yale's %
yard line. and the Tigers were all roofing for a
touchdown. Here Vetterlein made a bad blum
der. Now. IL ever, the time for De Wits
goal from the field. Yet the Princeton quarter
back elected to keep on plunging. De Witt
bluffed at opening up a hole and Kafer tried to
get around Rafferty, again. He ran out of
bounds instead, before making first down and
the bah went to Yale. 1t was a golden oppor-
tunity and the wearers of the chrysanthemum
groaned when they realized what they had
missed.
Then began some loose playing Mitchell
punted and Vetterlein, severely tackled by Shev-
lin, dropped the ball for Bloomer to fall on at
Princeton's 45-yard mark. Yale was frantic
with Joy, well she might be. Right here Yale
did the best work of the day. 1t was a first
class exhibition Of logged line bucking, and if
Yale could have kept it UP she would have won
an Overwhelming victory. Hogan's bull rush
yielded ten yards only to lose twenty yards for
holding. Mitchell punted from the centre of the
field, and De Witt lost no time in returning the
compliment.
YALE RUsHEs ARE IRRESISTIBLE.
Then followed a series of irresistible Yale
rushes that gave the Blue its only touchdown.
Hogan and Bloomer were the principal heroes
Of the charge. The burly tackle gave an exhi-

The final and crowning achievement came
when Yale the 15-yard line. Bloome~
opened up a hole fit to drive a coach and four

There was no denying that at this point things
looked particularly blue. with a capital B. If
Yale could keep up that pace the Tigers might
as well get back to Jersey without further ado
The Yale attack was simply irresistible and quite
in the style Of 1902. Unfortunately for the New
Haven contingent it was too good to last. 1t

But De Wits men. nothing daunted returned
TO the fray, De Witt kicking off over the goal
line Mitchell punted out from the 25-yard
mark TO Kafer at the centre of the gridirOn, and
the little flyer ran back ten yards. off side play
gave the Tigers five yards. and then five yards
again, Kafer sandwichng in a Vineyard scram-
bic through Kinneys position. Boomer and
Hogan were both too anxious. After Miller had
hit the centre and bounded off De Witt dropped
back for his first Try at a goal. He stood on the
45-yard line, but Princeton remembered 1902
and hoped hard. But the Tiger chieftain made
what the golf players call foozle. and the ball
was Yale's her 15-yard mark.
Mitchell and De Witt then got into punting
contest. The Yale man, to the dismay of the
Tigers. got the better of the argument and Yale
finished with the ball hers in the middle OF the
fed. Shortly afterward Mitchell made a low
punt and De Witt got through in time to block
it so that 1t rolled back twenty-five yards and
Princeton had the ball forty-five yards away
from her objective point
AGAIN DE WITT FAILS AT GOAL.
Again De Witt tried for a goal from the A.
yard line and again ne failed miserably, though
he got enough distance into his kick. Mitchell
punted out again and the battle waged up and
down the centre. of the field for some minutes
with no perceptible advantage either side.
Mitchell punted to Vetterlein on Princeton's
