won over no insignificant foe. Prince
ton actually gained more ground than
Yale in the first half and fourght like
tigers to the last ditch, but did not
have the scoring power. The score Of
% to 4 does not give Princeton credit
standard during most Of the game.
Tigers Are Worn Out,
AS the game wore on it was seen
that the tigers were less and less ready
to take advantage Of their opportuni-
ties and held Yale more and more
feebly. Their strength as well as their
material gave out and Yale swept them
from the field victor, scoring once
in the first half when the tigers were
fresh, and three times in the second
half when they were tired out.
1t was a game that will be long re-
membered in Yale and Princeton, and
1t was spectacular from start to finish,
full of brilliant individual plays and
features. 1t was one of the fastest
and the cleanest. But the relentless
scoring machine that Yale let loose
on the tigers could not be stopped, pos
sibly no team in the country could stop
it.
Has One Consolation.
Princeton's 8 one consolation was that
She was the first team to score on Yale
this year, and that by drop kick
from the 45-yard line, a sensational
end to a sensational game. Tooker,
who did the trick, following in the foot
steps of Dewitt and Poe, had been
looked to by the tigers to score, but
had failed in his first trial. With the
score % too against his team, Tenny
caught kickout at the Yale 45-vard

Referee McCracken sent the Yale team

Deliberately he measured the dis
tance and then, with one short step
forward, toed the sphere, soaring
straight up in the air and directly over
the Yale goal post, as true goal as as
was ever made by Princeton toe.
Yale was astonished and Princeton iu-
bllant. If the tigers could not win
they could score and mar Yale's hith-
ertO unscOred-on record.
