Vaughan to fullback. The team that
meets Yale next Saturday will be Of
quite a different construction.
Dartmouth has n great team. II ran
through its plays with m~achine.iike ac-
curacy and great speed. Its defense

Tiger line at times leaked like Q sieve.

Whatever Is under cover for Yale has
been reserved carefully through the last
three hard games.
nRINCETON's single score, . feld
goal by DE Witt In the fourth
quarter. was SO much a fuke that
svsa the Princeton players didn't want
70 accept 1t. The ball went low. rico
chetttnY along close 10 the ground. and
just In front Of the goal posts suddenly
bounded straight up and sailed over the
bar. Referee Langford OF Trinity de-
cided that the result was a legitimate
Held goal under the rules. According tv
the wording OF the rule. Kicking the
ball from the field Of play over the cross

Geld goal.
It seems logical that the intent Of the
rule II TO provide that the ball must be
kicked directly over the cross bar. In
this case the ball wasn't Kicked directly
over. but wen over after reboupdins
from the ground. When the Rules Com
mittes meets again II will probably
amend this rule 50 that a luke" score
viii be impossible.
The reluctance of the Princeton play

In our colleges. After the game l heard
