CHANCES THAT WERE LOST.
But enough OF the crowd. and the weather.
and the singing and the cheering. for something
more must be said of the game, 1t was full OF
what-might- ht-have- beens for both teams. but
more for Princeton than for Yale. the team
from New Haven accepted enough chances to
win, and that. for the moment, was all that was
necessary. Tibbott gave an indication Of what
might be expected OF him by receiving the ball
on the kickoff and running it back some forty
five yards to the centre of the field. lodging and
worming his way through almost the whole Yale
team Then followed a punting duel, In which
Coy. who dropped back from his position
the end-where, by the way, he played like q
man specially coached for the place-so far out
classed Read, Of Princeton, that there was little
comparison.
A brilliant forward pass from Read 10 Dillon
carried the ball eventually to Yae's 2S-yard
line. and Princeton's first chance for scoring had
come. On the third down. however this chance
was lost by using a forward pass that failed.
rather than a try at goal from the field and.
with quickness that was rather startling. the
fight was carried into Princeton territory. A
bad pass from MacFadyen to Read made ii i'm
possible to punt and Princeton lost the ball on
downs on her own 2S-yard line Here was Yale's
chance. but Bingham failed to profit by Prince
tons mistake, and called for a forward pass on
the third down instead OF drop kick. The play
went astray, and it was Princeton's ball on her
own 30-yard line.

may be said that Corey. who took BinghaIn's
place at quarter. made the most Of his oppor-
tunities. The sudden awakening OF the whole
Yale team and Coy's brilliant rushing swept the
Princeton men Of their feet and made another
Yale victory
GAME FREE FROM ROUGH WORK
IN spite Of the wet and slippery ball the game
was remarkably clean and entirely free from
that unnecessary roughness which brought it
into evil ways some four years ago. The umpire
was called on to infiict eight penalties against
Princeton for ofside play or holding. and four
against Yale, but none had any particular bear
ing on the result Two men were slightly in
jured, Johnson for Yale and Captain Dillon for
Princeton. Johnson was kicked on the mead
early in the first half, and forced to retire
In favor of Bingham, while Captain Dillon was
carried OF the field, fighting TO get back, toward
the end Of the game. when Yale was on the way
to her second touchdown.
The summary Of the game shows clearly how
Yale outclassed Princeton, especially in the sec
ond half, when 175 yards were gained by rush
ing to only So for Princeton. Coy averaged fully
fifty yards in pUnting to barely thirty five for
Reed Princeton used variation of the onside
kick that proved most effective. Tibbott would
draw the Yale players off to one side by starting
to run, and then quickly kick the ball to the
other side. where Princeton man was almost
always ready TO take it In this way the Tigers
gained some seventy-hve yards. This play was
not in Yale's repertory, TO ali appearances as
it was used only once. The forward pass was
almost neglected by both teams, although
Princeton worked 1t on one occasion for a clear
gain of thirty yards
Captain Dillon, of Princeton. who has been
of the game most of the season because of
q bad knee, played in something like his old
form and ran his team with excellent Judgment

his worth a field general Bingham took
his place early in the game But Yale need

Corey, who went in for Bingham early in the
second half, proved himself 10 a marked degree
He ran the team with remarkable speed and
shrewd judgment and. next to Coy, was largely
responsible for Yales victory.
Logan proved himself a stronger man than
Haines when he took the latter's place at left
end, while Hobbs played his way back TO the
good graces of the coaches, after going in for
Liliey, by his sharp breaking through and deadly
tackling- Bfddle played a remarkably strong
game at centre, as his passing was always ac-
curate. while he followed the ball closely in the
