The surprise, as anticipated in
these columns Saturday. came about
and Yale proved a more formidable
opponent against Princeton than the
followers of football dreamed Of.
The Ellis didn't win, but they didn't
lose, either, although that was the
program, according to past perform
ances. Out of the game, however,
the Bulldog, In way, came
triumphant. The score of 3 to 3
doesn't show at all the actual
strength of the teams as displayed
in the contest. Yale played the bet
ter game by long odds. Her improve
ment was marvellous. She came into
her own, as she generally does,
against Princeton, and she outplayed
Princeton in a manner that left no
doubt of her superiority. But she
didn't win, and thus the honor must
be divided, as last year, with Prince
ton.
As a result of the Princeton ale
game, the Ellis appear to have
more than look-in against
Harvard, although taking both
games, Princeton-Y Yale and Har-
vard-Princeton, the Crimson team
seems to stand out as the class.
Yale, now that she has shown some
ability will become cocky and conf
dent and she will show Improvement
with every fleeing moment. From
a hopeless case, she has reached a
place at the top that makes her con-
tender for the championship of the
year. That is sufficient incentive for
an extra effort and Yale never be-
grudges hard work when it brings
about football honors. To have beaten
Princeton would have been a delight
full task, but to beat Harvard is a
thousand times greater honor, the way
Yale figures it. Not that Princeton,
on the whole, and as a general thing,
is any less formidable than Harvard,
but because Yale-just for why no.
body knows-takes more pride in
beating Harvard 1t is the same way
with Harvard, so the game between
them is looked upon by them as the
big game of the year.

Yale played a grand game on Satur-
day and she should have won. just
at the most critical times she threw
away her chances by lack of general
ship. She had the team and the
strength, but she was lacking in man
agement. and it was good luck for
Princeton that such was the case.
Yale went into the fray not knowing,
apparently, just how really good she
was. Princeton. in her game against
Harvard, was known to be very
strong. Yet when the Bulldog and the
Tiger lined up the Ellis stood out in
many ways. That they didn't score
more points was their own fault. The
chances were there and the oppor-
tunities were there, but there was
something lacking. What it was
would be difficult to point out. All
one can say is that the judgment of
the Ellis was very, very poor
C
Although Guernsey, a substitute
made the score for Yale, and HOBBY
Baker toed the ball between the goal
posts for Princeton, the work of Will
son, of the Ellis, stood out in bold re-
lief as the best of the day. His work
in running back the great punts of
Law and Baker was brilliant indeed.
He saved Yale lot of ground, and
he made up a lot of ground that
should have belonged to Princeton as
a result of the kicking duels. But
while Wilson would come tearing
back with his well-handled punts
HOBBY Baker, as a general thing, was
downed in his tracks. Wilson was
the big man on the Yale team, and
but for his clever playing Princeton
would have shown to much greater
advantage. He was as sure as fate
and as steady as clock. He never
failed. On the other hand, Captain
