waiting arms of Jones, Yale's 20-yard line
He ran It back twenty yards before he was
brought TO EARTH and the game was on. Veeder
punted on the first down for Yale, and 1t was
plain even at such an early stage that the game
would be open enough to satisfy the most exact
ing exponent OF the new code
For the first ten fifteen minutes Princeton
forced the fighting in Yale territory, but the bail

tell where the strength lay. Under the condi-

possible that some brilliant run or fatal tumble
might lead to early score. The play was
