New Haven. Nov. 15.-Yale and
Princeton battled to a football tie at
to 3 on Yale Field here this after
noon. and with dusk settling over the
much SCARED gridiron $1,000 men and
women relaxed and quietly faced the

many it was moral victory, an awak-

Harvard. The Princeton men drifted
quickly and quietly out Of the stands.
To them it was n grievous disappoint-

Toward the middle OF the second pc

Returning to the present and the

Yale was the stronger to-day. Not
