PRINCETON FAILS
At CRITICAL MOMENT,
SAYS WALTER CAMP
Giving Harvard Wind in
Third Period Is Begin
ming of End.
By WALTER CAMP,
(Member Of the Football Rules Com
mittee and Advisory Coach at Yale)

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 3.-Thc turn
ing point Of the Harvard Princeton
game came at the beginning Of the third
period. when the two teams came out
after the tifteen- minute intermission.
Princeton had already scored n touch
down. which they failed to convert into
goal. while Harvard had a drop kick
TO her credit. Thus the score stood
6 to In P-inceton'a favor.
The wind was blowing from the open
end OF the stadium and Princeton. hav-
Ing lost the toss originally, had the
choice of taking the wind and letting
Harvard kick OFF. or OF giving Harvard
the wind and Princeton Kicking off.
There IL no question that for two rea-
sons Princeton should have taken the
wind.
In the frat place. her forward passes
were far more easily executed with
that wind. and besides this they had
already demonstrated by the score OF
three OF these that they had force of
the wind properly gauged. and could GO
on with It, In the second place, Bar-
ward was naturally depressed at hav-
failed to diagnose and prevent these
passes.
Now, II Princeton had given Har.
ward time to recover. the Crimson would
was by no means lost. and as Prince.
ton was fumbling kicks there was
every chance OF Harvard recovering the
ball
Now what happened? The two teams
came out on the field and as they be.
gan to take their places II was evident
that Princeton was about to give Har'
ward the wind and take the KICKOFF.
Just az the players were about to take
their places, the Princeton coach rar
up to Captain Pendleton. who was play
ing right end. and asked him why HI
did not take the wind. The Princeton
, captain replied that they thought thu
wind was pretty light and they haC
better have II in the fourth quarter
The coach looked very doubtful but die
not press the point, and right there dis
I appeared Princeton's chance, for th'
wind under Felton's high punts sailet
the ball down into Princeton's territory
almost at once.
1t only took this fifteen minute periot
, TO determine the issue OF the fight ant
by the time Princeton had the advan
| tage of the wind in the last period. mo-
only was il light, but the Princeton
! team was exhausted with its efforts u
play against that wind during the thirt
| period.
! This Is no disparagement of Harvard!

that they could hardly stand during the
final period, while the Tiger backs were
manhHndled no fcrcely that their speed
had vanished. The famous line shift Of
Princeton was futile, the Crimson
t-cklcs spelling 1t every time II was
tliCd. DeWitts punts began to fail
shorter and shorter until Iiardwick
managed to Intercept "a forward pass on
PIinceton's D-yard line.
Immediately the powerful Harvard
attack got under wuy Brickley car
ricd the bah again and again, tearing
his wa through tho line like an ava
lanchc. Nearer and nearer came the
goal posts and shorter and shorter were
the gains OF the Crimson star halfback
On the 4-yard line the Tigers rose as
one man and stopped Brickley with II
2-yard gain. The effort had sapped
every bit Of strength from the great
halfback. Quickly came the signals
and. when the Tigers pounced upon
Tlrlckley. HardWiCk took the ball and
shot across tn" goal line for touch
down. Bricklcy was picked up thor
uuEhly exhausted and taken to the side
lines. while the closely packed stands

Captain Wendell. of whom much was
