PRINCETON, n. J., Nov 13.-The
Princeton football eleven have lost an
opportunity of a lifetime, an oppor-
tunity to go through the football sea-
son Of 1910 without defeat and posi-
bly, without being scored upon, but
they lacked aggressiveness, a charac-
teristic so pronounced in previous
Tiger elevens.
Princeton has no excuse to offer.
The team was outplayed in every de-
VelOpment of the game with the posi-
bic exception Of kicking, BaIlou's high
spirals carrying further than those of
Howe. the Yale star.
Princeton was fortunate to score.
Had IL not been FOR the fumbling Of
DAILY in the first period the home
eleven would have been unable to get
close enough for Pendleton to try for
goal from placement
Pendleton was the disappointment OF
the game. The Yale players had been
instructed TO pay particular attention
10 this young man and to nip any of
his attempted end runs How well
they succeeded is a matter of record.
But the failure of Pendleton to shine
was no fault Of the Tiger halfbeck.
Compared with Yales interference,
Princeton was infantile
The Yale ends broke through the
Princeton line time and time again and
threw the fieet-fOOted Pendleton before
ne could get started. On the other hand,
Yale's line was her strongest point.
The fact that Howe, who stood close
to the line to do his kicking, was able
TO get OF his punts without being hur-
ried shows the strength of Yale's sup
posedly weak point Princetons line, on
the other hand, was weak several OF
Ballou's kicks being blocked YaIe's
only score being indirectly due 10 one
Of Ballou's failures.
Straight Football.
Neither eleven showed anything out Of
the ordinary. Aside from the forward
pass, there were no new football evoIu-
tions. Yale's best ground gamer was
the fake kick. Howe would drop back
apparently waiting for the ball and
either Kistler or Daily would take the
pass and plow through the Princeton
tackle or between tackle and end.
The forward pass, which enabled Yale
20 turn the tide of defeat into a wave
OF victory, was beautifully executed.
Yale had worked the ball we'll down
the field, the advantage being partly
due 20 a famble.
When within twenty yards of the
Princeton goal on the extreme east side
OF the field, Howe dropped to one side and
sent the ball directly into Fitzpatrick 5
hands
All the latter had to do was to touch
the ground, as he was standing on the
PrincetOn's goal line. The touchdown
vas made at the corner and the kick
out at a bad angle was missed.
Five Points Enough.
Those five points, however, were suf-
icient to win and during the remainder
of the game Yale played safe In the
last period the two teams kicked re-
peatedly. Princeton in the hope of a
Yale back fumbling, and Yale in an ef-
fort to keep the dangerous Tiger from
within striking distance OF her goal.
PendletOn was unable 10 make his way
down the field with a punt.
II was brains, strategy Of the finest
sort. that won for Yale. Yale took a
chance, and won. Yale fought hard, and
won. Every man that wore the blue
was out for blood
That IS not TO say Mat Princeton did
not fight The Tigers were outweighed.
10 be sure, about five pounds 10 the
man. Yale showed strength that was
entirely unexpected.
