Between halves the rival partisans took ac-
count of stock They concluded that the chances
favored Yale. They could not foresee that the
strength of the giants in blue would wahe az

what had become of all the new plays that hao
ben promised by the coaches OF both eieVehs:
Not one Of them had appeared and not one OF
them did appear the whole game long, though
the bulldog mascot barked savagely from the
sidelines.
DE WITT RUNS BACK KICKOFF.
The two armies faced each other when the
whistle blew again exactly they had started
the game. Mitchell kicked off to De Witt, VINO
stood under his own goal when the ball settled
into his capacious embrace. The big guard is
hard man TO stop when he gets under way, ana
he ran twenty-five yards before he was dragged
down. Dillon and Miller added short gains
through the centre of the line. after which DE
Witt thought it wise to punt. Farmer muffed
the ball and here the Princeton ends missed
great chance for they too slow to prevent
the fuIback from redeeming his error.
Mitchell punted back at once TO Hart and
Shevlin and RaT erty hurled themselves upon
him in concert before he had time to move an
inch. Kafer here retired in favor OF King. VINO
signalized his appearance by two brilliant ten
yard runs around Rafertys end, the Yale cap
tain being shut up like a j2ckknife by the able
Henry.
Metcalf juggled De Wits punt. and Mitchell
returned ii to Princeton's 20-yard boundary,
Netterlein being ineXcuSably SLOW, so SLOW tnat
Shevlin threw him back a yard or two. De Witt
punted to the middle of the field, and Farmer
obligingly dropped the ball. Davis was Johnny

ingly. Vetterlein reflected on Rockwells sue
ces, and tried the quarterback run himself but
Mitchell got through like an arrow. and threw
him for Vineyard loss. De Witt ran on fake
kick. but Hogan hard after him. and ne
made gain, whereupon he punted out of
bounds, and Yale had the ball thiLty-five yards
away from danger.
Kinney hit the Princeton line and rebounded
hard. and Henry stopped Metcalf in his tracks,
so that Mitchell had TO punt again. Hart was
the nluffer this time. but Vetterlein saved the
ball. Another tumble gave it to Yale. however.
and Mitchell got around Daviss end for
smashing gain OF twenty yards. bringing the
ball to Princeton's 15-yard line. The Tigers were
in imminent peril now. for the tandem was
working again. But Hogan and Kinney were
not what they once were, and Miller mad sue
ceeded the groggy Blooner. Wherefore the va
liant Jerseymen held like the rock Of Gibraltar
and snatched the ball from their enemies on the
third down. It a thrilling rally and un-
6oubtedy saved the game right then and there.
DE WITT PUNTS OUT OF DANGER.
De Witt lost no seconds in punting out OF
danger, but the ball went out of bound again at
the 35-yard line so that his kick netted only
twenty yaTos But Princeton's forwards were
strengthening every moment and Metcalf,
Farmer and the redoubtabe Hogan failed in
succession to move them, and the Tigers got the
ball Owsley came in for Farmer and De Witt
punted full sixty yards, only to have Metcalf
wriggle back TO the centre Of the field. Rock
well tried the criss-cross with Mitchell and the
hawk-eyed Henry threw him for 4 loss of ten
yards. After an exchange Of punts and a FUN
bic by Rockwell the Yale quarterback tried the
quarterback kick successfully that Yale made
fifteen yards IL and had the ball twenty
three yards from the Tiger goal Holding set
Yale back twenty yards, however and Mitchell
stood on the 45-yard line to make desperate
try for goal Roraback made fzzle of his
pass and Yales last chance to score passed
away. Followed exchange of punts and
great flying tackle of Vetterlein by RAFFERTY,
Two punts saw gain of thirty-hve yards
for De Wits massive leg. Yale tried in vain
to pierce Frincetons line. The Blue grew
weaker every moment. Then came Metcalfs
fatal muff Of De Wits punt, and Henry had
the ball for Princeton. Though De Witt kicked
so low his try for a goal from the 45-yard
line that a Yale forward half stopped the ball,
Bowman. who had stepped into Mitchers place,
had to stand behind his own goal line and forty
two yards the best he could do.
Vetterlein had his brilliant inspiration. and
heeled his catch. Then. indeed De Witt wrote
his name in shining characters on the page
of Princeton football history. Clean and true
he sent the oval flying between Yale's goal
posts, and the game was won.
