The only new development in the trick
line was a blum forward pass by Har-
ward. in the manipulation of Which Bud
Smith. running from his position at end
on shift formation. took the hall and
tried to circle the other end. He took
it from a team mate who had drawn his
hand back as il about to make forward
pass. Once he was successful to the extent
Of big gain. but even this device was
readily diagnosed by the active minded
and active bodied denizens Of the Jungle.
One of the surprises Princeton had for
| the foe and for the general public was
the playing of Vaughan at fullback That
was plan matured in the secret practice.
II was supposed that Vaughan WAS to be
moulded into lineman. He was put back
OF the line because a good line breaker
was wanted What line breaking he did
didn't jar Harvard to any noticeable
extent, but he did play capably on the
defence.
Princeton's line defence proved to
be quite adaptable. II stiffened near
the goal line and it closed in. concertina-
like. with good results. In the narrow
width Of its lateral scope IL suggested
line distributed for offence. Emphasis
has been laid here on Princeton's line
defence because IL was so much better
than was expected by the outside public
and perhaps by the Princeton students
who were not in the know. Both sides
were fully up TO requirements in line
defence. The Harvard forwards got
through on many plays, but didn't nail
opposing backs for loss as often as
Princeton did
Both lines were better on defence
than on offence but on the whole the
Harvard line was outplayed. The Prince
ton ends turned out TO be a surprise party
by holding their own with tGe gifted
Harvard pair. Smith and O'Brien. The
latter two were all that could be asked
in scrimmage and their ends were next

Hart Active and strong.
Capt. Hart OF Princeton outplayed the
two tackles opposite him. Gardiner and
Jenckes. Gardiner was in the game such
short while that he really didn have a
chance to prove his worth Hart was too
strong and active for Jenckes. breaking
through on the defence and mailing thrl

The Harvard centre was steadi.r at re-

The three Princeton middle men covered
wider range. In other respects there
was no material advantage one way or the
other. II chanced that Bluethenthal was

There was no great amount OF speed
