Tibbott's end running brilliant. He kept NJ,

pionship match His work was Hrarred BY two
fumbIes but to neither of these can Yale scor,
be attributed directly He also did excellent WORK
in onside kicking, and his defensive work was
good the whole
Coys work was necessarily not as spectacular
as Tfbbott's His play as defensive end would be
hard TO improve on. His punting proved a biz
factor in YaIe's victory. and his work offensive

the most brilliant that has been seen IN any cham
pionship match in years In fact the Tigers found

OF the lineup for most Of the season, he ran bix
team with that precision and effectiveness which
have nearly always characterized his work In
catching Princeton's one long forward pass Dillon
made a brilliant and at the time seemingly i'm
possible play. Again he recovered an onside kick
by sliding under Andrus just as he about to
fall on the ball Twice Dillon stopped Coy when
he stood aI1ne between the Yale star and touch
down Considering his crippled condition. D1lon's
play was little short Of brilliant. All honor the
Tiser captain and may the gridiron see many

menace to the Princeton team on the offence
Biddle at centre. also played better than any ons
expected. He made YaIe's second touchdown pos

elected last night
Waller did fine tackli1g, and until late IN

C+oabel proved himself a worthy running mate of
Andr,ls In fact. the Yale guards undeniaoy out
