PRINCETON, N. j., Nov. IA
Princeton today closed ar inglorious
football season by a defeat at the
hands of Yale by the score OF II to 6.
Outplayed in the first half and with
q score of 6 to 0 against them, the
Yale eleven came back determined
for the second half and simply carried
Princeton of its feet. Working like.
a piece of machinery in the opening
half, the Orange and Black returned
for the second session to show only
spasmodic flashes Of the brilliancy dis
played earlier in the day. With Yale
1t was a different story. There was no
anxiety in the Yale camp as to the
outcome Of the game today but as
the contest progressed. the work OF
Yale improved and eventually burst
upon the tired and weakened Prince.

flood, I,
Princeton fought bitterly to avoid
the impending disaster but the flesh
was weak. When, near the end Of the
second halt, Captain Dillon, Prince.
TOMS great little leader, was carried
from the field fighting and crying like
a child, the heart seemed to be taken
out Of his followers. One by one
they weakened and the battered
Orange and Black warriors were re.
placed by freshmen until seven sub
~stitutes had been brought into the
game.
Probably not in the history of the
games between these two great uni.
versities have two men shone so bril-
1iantly on their respective sides as did
Coy OF Yale and Tibbott of Princeton
today. Tfbbott by his brilliant runs

in open field made possible Prince.
