YALE And TIGERS
PLAY fIE GAME

ball appeared to roll on his foot. but
as f. rolled II began to rise and 10
the utter astonishnient OF all beholderz

nearly 50 yards, and the score g to- !
against Yale.
We purstfe the BAH stfli further II
rose. and rose and then began to unrise
as it neared the Tiger goal Then as
peacefully and quietly as anything II
passed across the bar. and nestled down
in the hard turf just beyond
Above the Wild. yells from the Yale
stands and even above tine heavy silence
which came from the Princeton side, we
could hear the murmur iof voices;
Just like Bill Shocks did in oughty-
naughty .naughtyr
And soon after the game came to an
end, with a new. and brilliant luminary,
shining over the football world. A quiet
youth by the name of Pumpelly has
come to take his place. among the gridi-
ron greats.
Baker Kicks, Too.
However. the feats. and also feet OF
Messrs. Hobart Baker and Lefty. Flynn.
aforesaid. must receive considerationN in
discussion to heroes Of the occasion. But
for Mr.. Bakers two field goals. Mr.. Flynn
would haYe defeated Princeton with a sin
gle boot.
A tumble by rStew'' Baker transpired
lin the first period. Mr.. Avery. of Yale,
fell upon the ball. and the Princeton
eleven fell upon Mr. Avery. Then Mr..
Flynn dropped back and booted q goal
from the 3o-yard line. giving Yale three
points.
In the second period a fumble by Mr..
Wheeler, OF Yale, gave Hobe Baker his
| first crack at the Blue goal from the g
yard line, and Hobart pushed the ball
over with a heavy kick, tying the score
subsequently thereto Flynn punted. out Of
| bounds, and-now for passing moment
We must enter the, realms OF experts
Said punt gave Princeton the bah on
YaIe's 3O-yard line. and Mr.. De Witt. OF
this city, hustled through the Yale line
by means Of a hastily punched hole for
some Is yards before Flynn could secure
hammerIock on him.
Twice again the energetic NDe Witt
carried the ball through the Blue de-
fense, finding his own orihces. and final
ly he paused on Yale's 10-yard line to
get a breath of air. Then stew Baker
lugged the burden a few feet farther
and De Witt relieved him and pushed 1t
an inch or two nearer. At this moment
the ball was handed over to Hobart,
who gently bumped II across the Yale
goal posts for three more large points.
Thereafter there was not much doing
save a few hundred plays OF one kind
and another. Tub" Waller, OF Prince
ton. n. J..-was noted leaping lightly
over the upturned countenance Of
Lefty Flynn as Mr. FLYNN lay prone
upon the earth staring at the sky, the
only trouble being that Waller just
barely failed 20 step clear over the OBJ
struction. His foot appeared to settle
right in Mr.. Flynn's face and the ofiiS
cials spoke to Mr. Waller with such ef-
feet that he left the game fat. They
call this ''roughing'' in football and we
understand it as assault and battery in
civil life,
Flynn Is Taken Out.
Flynn left the game before the end of
the first half. being relieved by Pum-
pelly, but returned before the opening
OF the second. which found Pumpeliy
back on the side lines. Some wise and
mysterious fate whispered into the ears
Of Yale Coaches that Pumpelly was too
valuable man TO be sitting huddled
up In gray bed clothes outside the line
scrimmage, apd 50 he was sent back TO
relieve Markle and to save the day for
the Blue.
Meantime Flynn had been trying a
few odds and ends in the way of shoots
at the Tiger goal but was having no
luck The Princeton team was supposed
TO be heavily outweighed BY the Yale
line but appeared in no wise distressed
by the fact Flynn could never really
{ get into his Stride galloping with the
ball before some Tiger cut him down.
This young man De Witt - quite fei-
low to have around in a bear fight. and
so is SpaIding, OF Yale. The latter could
drive drifts and tunnels through the
Tiger line almost any time he started.
There was an ample audience The
crowd numbered some 5000 people. 1t
Was a great crowd and a great day for
great game Of football, or anything
else, and up to late hour this even
ing most Of those present were reported
corivaiescing from the surprise and ex-
citement upon Mr.. Pumpelly,s unexpect-
ed boot 49, &. -
1t is said the New York boy-a great
old State, New -York-is by. nature, and
Eenvironrient, a fun back. but when you
find him in there kicking ield goals In
the capacity OF half hack, you can ap-
preciate his versatility. Markie. whom
PlImpeily replaced, had -reifyed Philbin.
II was, as we have intiinated great
game to watch. The old field goal from
a long distance In the last minute Of
play Is ever the home run In the ninth
inning with the bases full It Is not;
quite SO thrilling as the long run to "a.
touchdown, perhaps. but has its tingtes.
The crowd was so dumbfounded to-day
by Pumpellys boot that the game was.
over and they were fling out the exits
before they could find tongue to discuss
the matter. ~
That Princeton made special play for
Flynn there Is no doubt and with the
entire force Of Old Nassau directed
against him. the energies iof that Young
man were necessarily crahped and con
lined. Lineup and summary:
