WEATHER

Observations Of the United
States weather bureau taken at
8 p. NJ. yesterday follow:
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1913-11-17

because of a. tumble when a touchdown
hung on the catching of the ball.
Despite the overwhelming superior
fty In ~all-around team play Yale could
only win the credit for tying Prince
ton In the yearly gridiron battle. Err
rors Of Judgment and individual slips
at critical points robbed the team of
much Of it's effectiveness and left the
Blue with a still greater problem to
face in the Harvard game next Satur-
day. This, in part, was due to the
fact. that Wilson, formerly a fullback,
shifted to quarterback. less than
two weeks ago and is still more or
less unfamiliar with the possibilities
Of the position.
To this and other recent changes In
the Yale line, Princeton owes her es-
from defeat, for brilliant streaks
of play which advanced the ball to
goal line went for naught, when some
individual players slip would nulltfy
the work of the eleven as a whole.
A Sample Of YaIe's Poor Luck,
The most striking example came
late In the final period, when after a.
series Of punts the ball fell into Yale's
possession on Prtnceton's 40-yard linz.
Alnsworth behind splendid interfer-
ence, cjrcled Hammond and raced
down the field to within 6 yards of
the Tigers line before he was thrown
by Captain Baker.
It appeared as if Yale was to score
its first touchdown against Princeton
since 1910 and her adherents, 20, 900,
were cheering and shrieking cou
agement. The Tiger team, desperate,
blocked two line plunges that carried
the ball to the extreme right side of
the field. A third attempt put the bali
we'll inside the Princeton 5-yard line,
but SO far to the right Of the posts
that a field goal was virtually impos-
sfhle. -
With about two yards to gain. will
son made a.sperfect forward pass to
Carter, who had slipped across. the
goal line. but the Yale right end fun
bled and then dropped the ball in his
excitement and went out of the game
crying like. a child a. few moments
later,
One Effort Blocked,
Twice during the closing period
Guernsey attempted to duplicate his
earlier field goal, each time within
Princeton's S5-yard line, but failed,
Once Balm charged through the Yale
line and blocked the rising ball, and
in the other effort the ball sailed full
ly five yards to the left of the goal
posts. There were conspicuous ex-
amples Of the lapses in the Yale play.
The other and brighter side was
the revival Of the real Yale fighting
spirit and promise on better and more
finished football in the game against
Harvard.
