period showed the better offensive and
defensive play.
Princeton's one hope lay in the better
punting ability of Law. Although he
out-distanced Hardwick with his kicks
he also over reached his ends. who
could not cover ground on the slippery
field fast enough to prevent safe
catches by the Harvard back field Hard
wick's punts, although short, were high
and his wing men were down on the
catcher with the BAH. The Crimson
grew strong as the game drew TO 4
close. In all Princeton scored seven
first downs to Harvard's five. This atl-
vantage was offset to some extent by
the penalties imposed. for offside play.
Each team tried the forward pass
three times. Princeton completing two
of the trio while Harvard made good
but once. Baker attempted five field
goals while Brickley scored one of his
three tries.
Harvard. as soon as it had scored
three points, proceeded to play con-
servatively, covering the Princeton at i.
tack either through the line, around
the ends or by forward pass.
Princeton Outshone
From standpoint of team play Har-
ward outshone Princeton: the line
charged lower and faster than the
Tiger forwards after the first few mo-
ments of play and the interference ac-
corded the crimson runner was far SUI
perior TO that given the Princeton ball
carrier. Harvards secondary defense
was also better than that of the Tigers
When the whistle blew there. was
great cheering in the Harvard stands.
Enthusiastic Harvard rooters carried
several of the players from the field
while others formed a parade and
marched out of the grounds and up to
the Princeton campus cheering and
singing they proceeded. The crowd
of Princeton students remained in the
stands and cheered the Tiger squad
and sang "Old Nassau"
The crowd was not as large as had been
expected, due to the rain. Princeton stu
dents wore bright yellow oilskins and
slickers. Other spectators who had failed
to bring umbrellas resorted to blankets
and large sheets of oil cloth purchased
before the game began.

Nashville, November s.-Outrushing the
Commodores and playing them to a stand

Princeton, n. j., November s.-Harvard
shattered an ancient football tradition
here this afternoon by defeating Prince
ton on her own ground by score of to
o. The credit for the victory goes in great
part to Charles Brickley, whose solitary
goal from the field gave the Cambridge
eleven the points scored in the game
and solved a football problem for Harvard
which the mud and rain would otherwise
have baffled.
Played on q field inches deep in mud
and as slippery as creased glass, the finer
points of football were absolutely lost,
and the rival teams wallowed and slid
about the gridiron waiting for an error
10 give them opportunity TO score. Har-
wards chance came In the second period
when during a punting duel Law, who
did the kicking for the Tigers, had one OF
his low drives blocked by Gilman, the
Crimson right tackle. The ball, rolling
backward toward the Princeton goal line,
WAS followed by a slipping, scrambling
mass of players. They dove repeatedly for
the spheroid which evaded them like
creased pig. When the ball was finally
corralled it was in a pair of mud covered
Crimson arms, and the doom was sealed.
With the ball on Princeton's 12-yard line,
Harvard tried two line plunges. The
Orange and Black forwards held firm,
and it was evident that il the Crimson
was TO score it must be by Brickley's
educated toe.
Brickley Wins Game
Never was the benefit of his long period
OF practice shown to better advantage. for
despite the short distance that stretched
away to the goal bar the conditions were
such that q failure would have been en-
tirely excusable. But Brickley. stepping
back to the 20-yard line, carefully wiped
the mud from his famous propelling boot
and settled himself in the mud Back
came the spheroid true from the hands of
Soucy. Almost instantly 1t was sailing
aeross the Princeton goal bar for the
score that sent Harvard home from
Princeton with the first victory that the
Crimson has achieved in Jungletown in
q generation.
Although Brickleys winning field goal
will go down in football history as a
puny affair of just about 90 yards, the
fact that it was the only successful one
of several tries by Brickley and Cap
tein Baker of Princeton demonstrates the
degree of difficulty and handicap under
which the feat was accomplished. Every
other time the water soaked ball refused
70 answer TO either direction or power,
and swung lop-sidedly through the air or
rolled along in the mud until pounced
upon by some mud-smeared player and
put into play again in the usual manner.
Worse conditions under foot and over
head for football game would be hard
to imagine
