Princeton, y. j.. Nov Everything
Is blue on old Nassau tonight. Yale
today administered the second defeat
Of the season 10 the Orange and Black,
u TO 0. II was the first time In the
history Of the two institutions that a
football championship was not at
stake; & was the first time that Yale
and Princeton had been beaten by
minor elevens before meeting in their
annual contest. And, strangely
enough, it was the lighting representa-
tives Of Uncle Sam WHO were respOn-
sible for both defeats. The Navy had
defeated Princeton and the Army Yale.
TOday'S game does not deserve a
niche in the nall of football fame, but
there were one or two individuals who
stand out prominently among their fell
lows. Princeton will forever blame the
elements for today's defeat. The in
termittent dOwnpOurs of Friday had
made the gridirOn soft and Shiny. and
the Orange and Black were the chief
sufferers. Their backs, reputed 10 be
the fastest in the country. could gain
no Roadway on the slippery field, and
their forwards, much lighter than
Yale, were unable TO brace themselves
for the fierce attack of the New Haven
boys.
1t would be an injustice 10 Yale 10
attempt TO detract from her glorious
victory, but there was surely an eie-
ment of luck in both touchdowus. On
the first score PrincetOn's over anxiety
was her undoing.
Three times early in the opening half
were the representatives Of Old Mas
sau penalized for Off-side play and onca
for holding distance of thirty
yards, a great advantage for a fierce

eleven In the same half Yale suffered
only once for a penalty. and at the
time the ball was SO far in PrincetOns
territory that the FIVE yards awaited
practically nothing. The game was
absolutely devoid of spectacular plays.
Each man on the Princeton eleven

IN a great measure 10 the individual
playing OF three men. Cooney. Foulke
and Miller. The former was 1sed as a
battering ram on the Yale line and
seldom failed TO gain his distance. and

on nearly every exchange. YaIe's goat
was never really in danger.
If Yale's men were in Door physical
condition it did not develop during the
game. Only one change was made in
the Blues lineup. while Princeton
sent in four new men.
1t was an ideal day for football.

Spectator and player alike. 1t is esti-

The bond Of friendship was beauti-
fully illustrated by Yale early in the
second half. when Captain Foulke OF
Princeton was led from the field by his
friends in a crippled condition. When
1t was seen that Foulke could no lon
ger continue, the leaders of the Yale
cheering gave the signal for a cheer
for FOulke, and the great amphitheatre
almost shuddered from the thousands
of voices.
