II for Yale on Princeton's &o-yard line.
Philbin, who had been substituted for
Dunn, hit the line for ten yards. but Duff
and Bluethenthal stopped him at his next
attempt, while Hammond, who had gone
to right end for Princeton in Dunlsp's
place diagnosed double pass and tackled
Spalding for 4-yard loss.
Howe then made another poor attempt at
drop kick, De Wit recovering the ball
and punting il out of danger. Howe dashed
back ten yards after making the catch, and
when Spaldng found a hole for seven
Yards and Phlbin added one the ball rested
on Princetons 25-yard line. Howe was in
scoring distance again, and. with the
Princeton defence so compact, dropped
back once more for drop kick, and once
more failed Princeton was penalized ten
yards, however, for interference in the
neutral zone, which gave Yale the ball and
Howe another chance, a chance he made
the most OF by sending the ball spinning
over the bar and between the posts. This
set the Yale camp to cheering, although
Princeton still held a lead OF three points.
Two plays later the half ended
While the players We're putting on dry
togs and getting no end of advice. the
rival camps entertained the crowd with
their favorite songs. and the time passed
quickly before the battle was renewed.
The third period was a repetition OF the
second. and in measure showed the Yale
team at its best, although II did not prove
fruitful The Tigers were on the defensive
and fighting back in their own territory
most of the time, but Ysle's attack was
not equal TO the demand. and Captain
Howe failed in three tries at goals from
the field.
On the third play Camp ran twenty-five
yards on fake kick formation behind
wonderful interference, and placed the bal
on Princeton's 30-yard line before Duff laid
him low. Philbin could not fight his way
past Duff and Bluethenthal. and when
Camp also fell victim 10 Duff's deadly
tackling without gaining an inch Howe
accepted the last resort Of present-day foot
ball and tried another goal from the field.
Il was a poor effort; the ball was partly
blocked and once more White recovered ii

The fourth and final period was little
more than punt, punt punt. The Tigers
realized that all they had to do was 10
fight Yale off. and they did this so sue
cnssfully that the home players could not

The result was that Camp was forced 10

that a tumble might occur and give the
