Osborne Field, Princeton, n. j.,
Nov 4.-Thirty thousand clamorous
rooters gathered here this afternoon
to cheer on the Princeton and Har-
ward gridiron gladiators in their
first clash on a football field in Is
years. The weather was perfect,
with a bracing atmosphere to spur
the pigskin kickers on to their best
efforts and add zest and pep" to
the game. In spite of the enormous
attendance, thousands were turned
away in disappointment at the gates.
Much money was wagered on the
outcome. Neither team had been
beaten this year, although Lehigh
University and the Naval Academy
both held Princeton to a tie.
The first quarter opened with much
kicking, the ball see-sawing from one
side to the other on the frequent
punts. The ball was seldom lost on
downs.
Princeton had the better of these
exchanges, the ball coming danger
ously near Harvard's 10-yard line on
several occasions but each time the
Crimson punted out of danger. Two
attempted fake kick plays by Prince
on were neatly broken up by Har-
ward without gains for the Tigers,
and the period ended with the tables
reversed, the ball being on Prince
toms 25-yard line in possession of
the Orange and Black athletes.
Harvard scored touchdown.
At the beginning of the second
period, Aviator Oscar Brindley, with
Jimmy Hare, a photographer, as pas
senger, circled the field, taking pic
lures of the struggle beneath.
Princeton started the second period
with snappy, aggressive rushes,
which bored holes in tn Harvard
line and brought the ball half the
length of the field to within q yards
of the Harvard goal. Here Christie
attempted a drop kick but Wendell
broke through the Tiger line and
blocked the kick, extricating his team
mates from a critical position.
Wendell then carried the ball in a
brilliant run to Princeton's 92-yard
line, where Mulholland failed to kick
a field goal for the crimson. The
ball see-sawed, Princeton kicking out
of danger when Harvard rushed the
ball to their 14-yard line.
In another run Wendell brought
the pigskn back to the Tiger 17-yard
line. Harvard failed to score,
Princeton recovering the ball.
Their possession of the ball was
short lived, however, and soon the in
domitable Wendell was tearing holes
in the Orange line, or plunging
around end for substantial gains,
