YALE, II; PRINCETON, 10.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 16.-Again
the Princeton tiger found the Yale bull
dog more than his match. In one of the
sensational last-ditch fights for watch
Old Ellis sons are famed. Yale pulled
herself together In the last half of a
brilliant gridiron duel here this after
noon and won by p 10 10
The victory was not chalked up until
Princeton had played Yale to a stand
still and Tup up a 10 10 score in the
first half. until the Blues migaty line
had been humbled by lighter opponents:
until the mighty Mccormick had torn
great holes in the Wanted Yale defense
or to / had said good-by to their
money. There have been more spec
taeular contests in the East during the
football season than that witnessed here
ately fought.
No game of the Eastern season has
resulted In such big surprises as the
two dealt out today. one TO Yale in the
first lalf. and another to Princeton in
the second half. In the first period It
was Princeton from whistle 70 whistle.
Yale was completely ouC2layed. and on
the defensive throughout. Half a dozen
times her goal was threatened, and had
Princeton possessed a Poe or Il Dewitt
the tale told and field goals scored
would have been different Harlan, on
whom the Tigers relied for their kick
ing stunts, was decidedly of on his
form, AID but one Of his attempts from
the field crossed the bar. Princeton's
backs were marveIs of speed and
strength. Harlan and Tibbott were sent
scurrying around the ends for long
gains, and Mccormick plowed through
Yale's husky Hnemen as though they
had been nigh school lads.
Booth Makes Touchdown.
The touchdown which gave the Tigers
first blood was scored by Booth after
brilliant seventy-five-yard run, which
set the 200 spectators wild
Coy, whose kicking had been the main
stay Of Yale's defense up 10 this stage,
was a bit slow getting of a punt The
kick was blocked and Booth, charging
down the field, took the oval on the
bound. Tucking 1t under his arm and
shaking off three would-be tacklers by
lodging and twisting. he had an open
course by the time he reached mid-held.
With two men at his heels he sprinted
across the goal line.
From what looked like sure defea. in
the first half, the Yale players came
forth for the second like lot Of wild
men. They wanted to fight. They
waded right in. caught the Tigers by
the neck. belted them around the field
right and left, walloped them over the
chalk lines, and marched them down
the turf until they lay in battered heaps
beyond the Princeton goal posts.
Full of Ginger.
It was wonderful game, fun of rip
and zip, dash and ginger. and never viii
the 5000 spectators forget the headlong
plunges OF Coy, the Tapid-fire cunning
OF Dillon. the tackling of Wister and
Jones, ana the superb ail-di oulu WOIk OF
Tibbot and Mccormick.
The PrincetOnians played rings around
Yale during the first half. They threw
the Blues into the air and kept them
there until the whistle blew. They were
so fast and tricky that Yale couldn't
keep up with them.
IN the second half conditions were re-
versed. YaIe's beef began to tell. The
Bulldog unlocked a few tricks, and had
Princeton guessing until the game ended
In the Tigers defeat.
The day was ideal for football, clear
and beautiful, and just cool enough to
flush the cheeks and make purple the
noses OF poFtly old alumni.
