Tooker But, after all. the Blue can
still point to a goal line that has not
been crossed by an opponent this sea-

The game was relieved from positive
dullness by Yale's adoption in the
second half of the much longed for
open play" when long runs around
the ends, much kicking, in which the
quarterbacks did their share, and two
brilliant dashes by Quarterback Hut
Crimson, of Yale, repeatedly brought
the 10000 spectators to their feet. TIE
singing at the game was inspiring, as
it always is, but Princeton had more
lung power AMI had the courage t0
hurl their catchy songs across the
field, Yale's reply becoming enfeebled
as interest in the game increased.
