twenty years that neither eleven has
! scored The wearers of the orange and

best product, and so hopeful were they NJ
success that odds Of : to were freely
accepted just prior to the game, that Yale
would be defeated. But the Princeton
eleven Of today was disappointment, thc
lightning-like plays which the coaches
/ had been depending on to confound the
Yale boys were lacking and r. Dillon, the
7 wonderful little quarter back, upon whom
such high hopes had been built. fumbled
miseraby. This was especially the case

a run of fortv-nve yards. his dropping of
punts would have resulted disastrously to

work Of Whistler Princeton's left end

| his running down under kicks was little
short of marvellous.
Princeton lacked n diversity of attack
It could not gain on fakes, neither could
1t pierce the Yale line with any degree OF
success. Yale, on the other hand. was
able to make a consistent game against

stuck TO straight foot ball instead of at
tempting fancy plays

not get close enough to goal to try his

Several penalties were inflicted by the OIL
