Yale Displays F orm Reversal and
Scores Victory Over Princeton
Tigers Fail Show Usual Aggressven and Are Decidedly Weak
in Interference Is Blocked Every Turn

PRINCETON, N J., November 12.-
Yale, 8: Princeton, 3.
The Princeton foot ball eleven today
lost an opportunity Of a lifetime, an op-
portunity to go through the foot ball
season of 1910 without defeat and posi-
bly, without being scored upon, but 1t
lacked aggressiveness. a characteristic
so pronounced in previous Tiger elevens
Princeton has no excuse to offer. The
team was outplayed in every development
of the game. with the possible exception OF
kicking, Ballou's high spirais carrying
further than those of Howe. the Yale
crack Princeton was fortunate to score.
Had it 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 place
ment.
Pendleton was the disappointment OF
the game. The Yale players had been in
structed to pay particular attention to
this young man and nip any Of his at
tempted end runs.
How well they succeeded is matter of
record. But the failure of Pendleton to
shine was no fault Of the Tiger halfback.

Play Was Ordinary.
Neither eleven showed anything out of
the ordinary. Aside from the forward
pass there was no new loot ball evolu-
tons. Yale's best ground gamer was the
fake kick. Howe would drop back ap-
parently waiting for the ball and either
Kistler or DAILY would take the pass and
pillow through the Princeton tackle or
between tackle and end The forward
pass, which enabled Yale to turn the tide
of defeat into wave of victory, was
beautifully executed. Yale had worked
the ball well down the field, the adj
vantage being partly due to tumble.
When within 20 yards of the Prince
ton goal OH the extreme east side of the
field, Howe dropped to one side and sent
the ball directly into Kilpatrick's hands.
All the latter had to do was to touch
the ground, as he was standing on the
Princeton goal line. The touchdown was
made at the corner and the kick out at a
bad angle was missed. Those five points,
however, were sufficient to win. and dur
ing the remainder Of the game Yale play
ed safe. In the last period the two teams
kicked repeatedly, Princeton In the hope

effort to keep the dangerous Tiger from

Three times Pendleton tried to boot the
leather between the goal posts. It was
the last hope. The Tigers could not gain

and missed going over by about six
inches.

Princeton secured the ball within 20
yards Of the coveted goal After two
attempts to advance the ball on end
runs Pendleton dropped back for q try

rectly In front Of the posts, and the great
thrOng was hushed as Balbou knelt to
hold the ball. Ballou poised tho spherotd
and Pendlet0n sent IL straight and true
over the bar. The day was ideal for
foot ball. Aside from tho furry Of snow
from q passing cloud the sunshine was
continuous.

theatef 10 $1,000. Every seat was taken
and nearly 5000 persons were standing
within the Enclosure.
White. who played left end on the
Princeton eleven, played q remarkable
game. He was down under kicks Ike
lightning and his tackling was hard and
sure.
Howe ran the Yale team perfectly. On
the other hand. Ballou, after he had
failed to gain with Pendleton, seemed
puxxled. There was no variety Of plays
and Princeton apparently lost heart.
Yale, quite contrary. grew faster as
tho game progressed. and being able to
gain ground consistently. kept the Prince
ton eleven on the defensive until. near
the close Of the contest, when the Blue
was satisfied to play sure.
