NEW HAVEN, Conn. November ID
Gathering Princeton to pieces by superior
strength and foot ball knowledge. Yale
won today's big gridiron battle by q
score Of Il to o. More than $4,000 men
and women saw the Jersey men fight to
the last ditch. though hopelessly out
classed. From the moment the leather
boom through space at the kickoff Yale's
supremacy was apparent and as the
struggle progressed 1t seemed to be only
question Of how great the New Haven
teams score should be.
1t was q smoothly played game, free
from serious accidents, with the utmost
good feeling prevailing at all times and
the great crowd wild with enthusiasm
over the simplest plays. The day was
perfect for the spectator. but entirely too
warm for the players. and as the contest
grew to a close some of the kickers. over
come by the high temperature. were
forced to give way to subs.
Within five minutes after the game be-
gan Yale's machine-like attack tore
Princeton's defense to pieces and the ball
was rushed by main force to the Tigers
30-yard line, where. because of an error
by the Yale quarterback. Coy of Yale
trle0 a gOal from the NelO, winch missed
its mark by a dozen yards.
Capt. Coy, by his wonderful playing
from start to finish, made the persons
who circulated the story that he had
water on the knee declare that somebody
had fooled them. From outward appear
ance, Coy was never in better physical
trim. and the fact that he refused to give
way to a substitute and played the string
out to the finish showed that he
possessed all the strength and speed
which have made him one of the greatest
foot ball players in America.
Always Coy.
It was Coy's superb ground gaining
which helped Yale TO advance until the
Tigers were forced back to the 4-yard
line. This was near the middle of the
first half, and as Mccormick, standing
behind the goal line. tried to punt the ball
out of danger, Hobbs. the Yale tackle,
blocked the kick and a scramble for the
possession of the leather followed.
Mccormick picked ii up and dropped il
half dozen times, as it twisted around
and around. and finally just as Cooney of
Yale made a dive for the ball Hart fell
on 1t. still behind Princeton's goal line.
1t was a safety and counted two points
for Yale
Ii was also Coy's magnificent puntins
which enabled the New Haven team to
make ground several exchanges until

Tigers were caught in another fix. Agar,
Mccormick tried to punt the ball away
from danger, only to have Liliey block IL.
and Vaughan, who was after the leather
like a panther, made the first touchdown,
from which Hobbs kicked the goal and
increased the score to TO o.
Those were the figures at the end of the
first half, and they indicated clearly that
Yale had the game well in hand. Soon
after the second period was under way

order that he kicked an accurate goal
from the field on the 25-yard line and
boosted the score to IL to q.
Murphy This Time.
Not long after. following a brilliant 40
yard run by Murphy, Coy literally tore
the Tiger defense to tatters and battered
his way across the magic chalk line for
Yales second touchdown, from which
Hobbs kicked another goal. That in
creased the Blue eleven's total to seven
teen points. The Princeton men could
make practically no impression upon their
antagonists. They never had a chance to
threaten the Blue goal line, and the only
opportunity afforded was when Cunning
ham, the much-talked-of drop-kicker
tried a goal from the 45-yard line i'm the
second half. The ball fell short of the
target.
Yale was penalized frequently for in
roughing and no unsportsmanlike tactics
There was holding and off-side play,
probably due to overanxiety. but on the
whole Yale played powerful. aggressive.
overwhelming kind Of foot ball that made
the followers of Yale roar with enthu-
siasm and doubled their confidence in the
outcome of the great battle at CAM
bridge next week.
Possibly no Yale ends. barring Tom
Shelvin and Frank Hinkey ever gave
such a whirlwind exhibition as did Kill
patrick. With speed and deadly tack
ling. he was down under Coy's kicks with
such effect that the midget Bergen, who
handled the long twisting drives, was
unable to move from his tracks time
after time. Vaughan. too, played a won
derful end, and on many occasions IT
was nip and tuck between him and Kill
patrick in a terrific sprint for the Prince
ton catchers.
