Tibbott and Coy Were the
Real Heroes of Saturdays
Clash Between the Bull
dog and the Tiger.

THEY call Yale THE Bulldog"
because Yale athletes are
always doing just what the
Yale football team did at Princeton
Saturday afternoon. No matter what
the game ii seems to be Yale's Gus
tom to make driving finish-all the
harder when it seems sure that Yale
is defeated.
Princeton played magnificent game.
The first half was all Irincetoa's. lib
bott's lightning fast running resulted in
touchdown and a score OF 60 in favor
of Princeton at the end of the half.
Princeton had few novelties to spring
The game was half played before be-
wildered Yale learned how to offset the
Princeton onside kick. This was a neat
trick. Instead OF being kicked to the
ends OF the line as usual the ball was
booted straight over Yale's centre. Mac
Fadyen, Princeton centre. would break
through to get it. The Yale halfbacks
were wide spread TO watch Tibbott and
incidentally be ready for the regulation
onside kicks. AS a natural result Mac
Fadyen had things all TO himself for a
few seconds. La or in the game Yale's
centre came back with him and killed
the play.
The whole contest was practically a
two-man game. Tibbott did most OF the
shining for Princeton. and Coy did it Il
Tor ale late in the second half and just
In time to save the Bulldog from defeat
Coy Changes Game.
Princeton started the second half with
apparently VI ired speed and power
For little while the Tiger pushed and
pounded the Bulldog back steadily. Then
something happened. In an instant the
whole complexion OF the game changed.
Coy dropped back and began to run the
team from MS old position. In AN in
slant his white bandaged head began to
show IN the thick OF every mix-up
His very first plunge with the ball
shattered the Princeton line, and every
succeeding headlong dive helped to dis
organize and shatter the Princeton de-
tense. Yale beat Princeton back TO
within three yards OF her goal line.
The Tiger rooters rose and sang the
ancient ra!!yinS song, but every spec
tator IN that thlrty-two thousand knew
that Yale could not be stopped. Again
Coy was the battering ram, and When
the Yale forwards surSed along with
hin they nearly knocked down the goal
posts. Princeton held for moment,
but only moment-then broke like a
mud dyke in freshet ii was d touch
down. Goal was kicked.
Through Tigers Line.
And after that evening of the score
there was only one player on the Held.
Al least the spectators saw only one.
Yale had at last pounded the speed
and wiry strength out of Tibbott, and
his sudden spurts no longer SHOW ed.
10 himself The rest of the Yale team
buckled down 10 the task OF backing
Coy up. score OF times the Agnt-
haired giant smashed straight through
Princeton's weary line. The Tigers
fought with terrible, grim fury. Their
tackling was savage. SO was Yales
for that matter. 1t was rough football
but within the rules. Lmping and
staggering players appeared after The
serimmages. Battered men were hug-
tied on and fresh ones took their places
NOW Coy tore erea; hole through
Tiger goal posts Two Yale heavywaigrts
interfering for him. In three success
sive seconds three Princeton tacklers
were spun on their heads, tossed aside
as suddenly as If they had been struck
down by automobiles. There was only
one left-the little Princeton quarter
back, Eddie Dillon, lgttest man on
the field. And for % second there were
two men in the game. TWO men IN the
eyes OF the spectators.
DiIon's Hard Play.
Dillon saw the others crushed dawn
and thrown aside. There was only ono
thing 20 do. II was about on n par
with trying 10 hutt locomotive on
the track but there was d possible
chance of success, and Dillon took tie
