Not the least surprising feature of game that
reeked with the unexpected was the poor kick
ing OF De Witt The giant guard is unQuestion-
ably when at hts best. the most powerful punter
and the most deadly drop kicker in the country.
He was far from being at his best Saturday.
He had three excellent chances to drop goals
from the field and two of them were the most
melancholy OF failures and the third not much
better In punting, too he badly of. He
lacked In distance; but the most serious fault
was the weird direction he managed 10 achieve.
About half of his punts went out Of bounds
before they had half completed their flight. and.
the ball being brought in where il went over the
boundary lire. many lost yards resulted. The
cause for this inferiority Of the Tiger captain
was easv to see. In no case did he drop back
far enough behind the line. Consequently he
was forced TO make haste in order 70 get the
ball away before the Yale forwards got through.
So near was the line that one Of his drop kicks
vrzs partially blocked. Of course IL so happened
that De Wits single perfect kick. the goal from
placement, won the game. but let not his ad-
rairers boast too much OF that He had several
OPPORTUNITIES To win the match before he finally
did and not only failed but failed rather dis
credftably

In view Of the fact that Yale was so much of

players must of necessity partake of unfairness.
Yet. al that the critic knows is what ne sees.

did not expect The end play Of the match has

say that the Princeton pair decidedly outpIayed
their adversaries. and to call attention 10 the
really brilliant work of Henry who covered the
right wing for Princeton. Henry is rugged
man. and fast one into the bargain The only
weakness he displayed was a tendency TO walt
for the back who had caught the punt. instead
Of throwing him backward. But when he got
within striking distance he was as inevitable
fate itself. and he got up under punts with the
speed OF the wind. Davis was only a trife less
effective. It will be a long time before any
team has such pair Of ends. Rafferty, had

h the opinion Of the writer, the changes In the
rules were justified by Saturdays game The
spectators saw more Of the play than they ever
did before There were fewer indistinguishaole
masses Of wriggling. showing humanity and
more plays that could be followed Moreover
despite the fact that several of the players par
ticularly Yale's men. entered the game hand1-
capped by serious injuries that had not been
allowed sufficient time to heal, not one man was
forced out Of the game by injuries. Bloomer got
groggy and had TO retire, and Bowman ana
Owsley were brought in because they were
fresh. while Burke and King got chances for
much the same reason. The human thunder
