CONDITION TELLS THE STORY.
Condition then seems to have had much TO do
pisa Yale's success as it has done many and
many times before; for the second half had not
been long IN progress before It became apparent
tha; the Orange and Black had shot its bolt in
The first half. and had not another in its locker.
Slowly, little by little, one could see the sands
Of the Tigers strength run out and fall un-
Needed, spent and useless on the checkered turf
One by one. the first string men played out and
were succeeded by substitutes T1a Princeton
attack grew weaker and weaker, their defence
more and more unequal 10 the driving Diuuges
that Hutchinson directed upon It, and little by
ftte Yale's total mounted. While in the first
half Princeton had carried the war into Yale
territory, in the second the strife ragged two
thirds OF the time IN Prnceton's.
The second halfs first touchdown followed
closely on he heels of a brilliant performance
by Hutchinson, the Yale quarter. This slender,
towheaded youth caught a punt, eluded the
Tiger ends and ieaped clean over the head of a
Princeton back who hurled himself at him,
making total of thirty yards before he was
brought to earth Then the Yale backs and
tackles slowly fought their way across the COW
eted line.
HUTCHINSON'S BRILLIANT RUN.
But even this feat was not enough for Hutch
inson. He followed il up with an even more
spectacular performance not long afterward.
Princeton having the ball, Dillon got off quar-
terback kick across the field. Hutchinson
bounced upon the bounding leather and, aided

ness. ran and lodged sixty-five yards amid a
goglaGo OF cheers from the Yale stands The
oIiflculty Of this achievement, great enough in
any case, was vastly increased by the fact that
