his first punt OF the game. 1t wasn't much of a
punt and when Shevin had downed Ritter the
little halfback was lying about in the centre
of the field and Princeton had made a good gain
on the exchange Of kicks.
But the Tigers in vain assaulted the Yale line.
and Miller punted perforce. the ball going out of
bounds at the 30-yard line Then Bloomer be-
gan his great series of gains. a series that set
the Yale stand frantic with JOY and noise. He
ripped his way through the fighting line for
fifteen yards .efore the entire Princeton team
succeeded IN hauling him down.
ROCKWELL MAKES POOR PASS.
Then followed about the only really sovenly
bit Of play Of which Yale guilty the whole
afternoon. Rockwell. on the pass, threw the
ball clean over Leavenworths head. but Hoyt
saved the leather by prompt work. and then
punted II was short punt. at best, and, as
Cooney got through Hogan just in time to touch
IT with the tips of his fingers, the ball went down
for Princeton just inside of Yale's territory.
Princeton then began string of short but
useful gains that hattered her friends into tho
belief that they were the beginning Of great
end. Ritter "akinned the right tackle for five
yards by fast running twice in succession. and
Stanard plunged through Hogan for three, but
the umpire saw Tiger holding In the line. and
discouraged the practice by setting the Orange
and Black fifteen long yards back and 1t was all
to do again.
Miller fell back as If TO punt. but instead.
only to be hauled down by Neal after a vigorous
progress of three little yards Next time he
punted m good earnest to Hoyt Burke was up
under the kick as if he were playing end, and
brought Hoyt down with the cleverest tackle
of the game. 1t was too vicious, however-so
much that Burke was knocked senseless for
a few seconds-and Hoyt. wriggiing out of his
nerveless clutch got back fifteen yards before
he could be stopped.
When the two teams next lined I'D Il was a
repetition of the story: Yale's ball on her 35-
yard line. Then came play that electifed the
multitude, and was. in fact, about the most SEN
sationai single play of the game. When the
ball was snapped Shevlin, Hoyt and Owsley
started at breakneck speed as IL to skirt the
riO and
tore off TO stop them. But Rockwell held the
ball and gave it TO Leavenworth. who easily
down the field with save little Ritter TO
stop him. The halfback was equal to the emer-
covered thirty-hve yards that Leavenworth was
doWned-
YALE PLOUGHS THROUGH CENTRE
This was the entering wedge for Yale and
from that moment she put forth all the her
cuean efforts OF her herculean team to hammer
the ball the line Boomer. Owsley.
Leavenworth and Bloomer again was the or
der. Strive she would. Princeton could not
check that attack Almost every drive was made
at practically the centre Of the line and Rora-
back, Kinney and Trip opened up the way for
the onslaushts OF the giant tackle and the slip
perry halfback.
Once Yale got a present OF five yards for
offside play, and once the Tigers hurled Ho-
gan back for no gain But then the inVinclols
Bloomer took UP the tale again and on went
the ball. Twice, too Yale Just barely made her
first down. but enough good q feast.
On rent the triumphant march in short sharp,
desperate progression. and at last Boomer. OF
the broken shoulder. shot through. and. the
Tigers went down in their last ditch.
It would be difficult to tell without the use
OF "noiseometer" If there is such thing,
whether the Yale or the Princeton cohorts made
former by way of jubiIation and the latter in
encouragement to their team. Anyhow. the re-
suit of their combined efforts was something to
be remembered
Hoyt kicked an easy goal and Yale was in the
lead. TO o. But Princeton was by no means
discoura ged. It had been expected that If Yale
scored at all It would be in the early part OF the
struggle. before her battered warriors began to
tire. Now" said the Princeton rooters, you
just watch EN-. watch EN- They'll show you"
But they didn't.
Miller kicked off to sheviin. who was downed
on his 35-yard line. Hoyt was slow in starting
and failed to gain through the line. He re-
deemed his error, however, by running eight
yards on fake kick Immediately thereafter
around lockers END. Leavenworth got between
Cooney and Dillon for five yards in that curious
snakelike way of his. but two more attempts
were not fruitful. and Hoyt punted. Somebody
held in the line, however, and the umpire called
the play back and gave Princeton fifteen yards.
TENNErs CLEVER DoDGING RUN.
Hoyt promptly punted again to Tenney. who
had taken Burkes place and the sub quarter
then gave the prettiest exhibition of running
back punt shown in the entire game
He lodged Neal as clean a whistle, COM
pletely hurdled another Yale rusher. who lunged
at him, and ran thirty yards before he
dragged to the mud. Cheer on cheer from all
four sides of the arena sauted this achieve
rnent
say, after the giant Stanard had grubbed
through the line for three yards. Tenney start
ed on quarterback run around the right end.
Experts started to see that the little quarter
was allowed to without vestige of inter-
ference TO help him. OF course he was thrown
by Shevlin for loss Of something like ten
yards.
This bad mess was followed up by the series
OF misplays already referred to. They made the
Tigers very weary. butcher thought he was
trying to catch man at the home plate and
heaved the ball over Miers head when the
latter went back to punt. OF course, a Yale
forward got it and. as before described. the Ellis
bucked &c UP TO the 1O-yard line only to lose
1t on a tumble. Immediately Miller let his
punt get blocked. and when Hoyt kicked the
goa! from Rockwefs punt-out Yale had rolled
her total up to u to O. where 1t stayed to the
bitter end.
The rest Of this half was given up to unavail-
ing attempts by each side to break the others
line, after which punt would follow. In tho
exchange of kicks Miller invariably got the bet
ter Of I1oyt once booting the ball for a total of
more through the line TO Just about offset this
advantage, so that when the half ended the bell
was In midfield in Princeton's possession
YALE's LINEUP UNCHANGED.
There was some surprise when the elevens ap-
peared for the second half, after an intermission
that the spectators enlivened with little more
than the customary outbreak Of institutional
songs and cheers. when It was observed that
Yale had made change In her lineup, even the
battered Boomer Cbroken shoulder and alb once
moro being included. though he had done his
work.
Yale's play from the very start made It plain
that she believed she had the match won and
had determined to play an extensively defensive
game from that time on Sometimes she punted
on the second down and her ATTEMPTS at gain
