Princeton, N. J., Nov. ~,
Princeton received a cruel body
blow to-day when Yale won the big
football game by the score of 5 to 8.
AS bolt of lightning from a clear
sky came this victory for the New
Haven eleven, just at a time when
old Nassau's sons were ready to
celebrate triumph.
Torn to tatters a week ago by
Brown University, Yale reorgan-
lied, and with characteristic pluck
went into to-day's battle with few
if any confident supporters. The
Tigers were regarded as certain;
winners, so that when the struggle
ended with the bulldogs on top a.
great crowd of Princeton men and
women filed out of the wooden
stadium with bowed heads and
broken hearts.
Yale's new lease of life devel-
oped SO Unexpectedly that old foot
ball men rubbed their eyes in as
tonishment. Within the short space
OF six days the eleven had been re-
nodded with apparent skill, and
from all accounts the credit for the
teams success belongs to the vet
eran Walter Camp and former
Capt. Tom Shevlin. Out of the
West came Sheylin recently with a
new style of attack, which the Yale
players perfected so we'll that
Princeton's defense crumbled be-
fore it again and again. This at
tack was a puzzling shifting of the
tackles from one side of the line TO
the other and a momentarv pause
by them, standing close together, be
fore they jumped into the line OF
scrimmage a fraction of a second
before the ball was put in play.

were sorely puzzled as 10 the direction
of Yale's attack, while the back field was
provided with sort of interference that
yielded much ground
But when il came down TO scoring. the
points made by both elevens were in
directly due to blunders. Capt. DAILY. OF
Yale, IN the first period rnuffed a punt
on his 2-yard line which turned the
ball over to Princeton, and enabled little
Pendleton TO kick a beautiful goal from
placement. The score remained to 0
until the third period, when PendIeton
Offset his achievement by dropping the
oval when tackled after a run diagonaIly
across the field, an error which put Yale

Then having worked the leather to
Princeton's 2S-yard line, Howe. the Yale
quarter back, made an accurate forward
pass squarely into the outstretched arms
Of the husky Fitzpatrick, who, shaking
of a taekler, rushed over the goal line
for a touchdown. The try for goal was
fizzle, inasmuch as the punt out received
so much momentum that 1t was impossi-
bic TO make a fair catch.
After this touchdown had been scored.
the Yale players showed supreme con-
fdence and held the detected Tigers safe
to the end. In fact, the last period
bristled with safety work by the New
Haven kickers. who seemed satisfied to
let well enough alone and simply to pre-
vent the Jerseymen from doing further
harm
Although the Tigers started of well by
taking advantage of Days muff, It was
soon apparent that Yale's team possessed
unexpected strength, although 1t could
not be said that the eleven displayed real
championship caliber. Still there was no
doubt that Yale Outclassed Princeton in
practically every department of the game.
a fact that dumfounded the army OF
Princetonians who had been led to be-
lieve that Old Eli was in for sound
thrashing.
