semblance of the attack that swept COL

hacks get together though the line was

In ALL likelihood the trouble rested with
the delav In the Blue backield over the
question of signals.
Every few plays there was long and
animated discussion as to what would
hammer next. which dragged the offence
So much that Princeton was always
ready with a stout defence when faie
started.
There were several weaknesses IN iaie
attack. One was the fact that Guernsey
always carried the ball in the wrong arm
when running Princeton's right end and
another was the failure 10 take Prince

nc though the Yale back would get loose.
The interference, however, failed utterly
to discard the Tiger ends, except In the
one case when Ainsworth made his long
run 10 the Tigers 5-yard line.
On the other hand, the Tigers had no
attack worthy Of the name. Once CLICK

with this exception there was nothing,

the story of the game.
Had Yales backs been up to the stan
dard set by the forwards there would
have been some reason in the ELS song,
which ended with the words: Good

ory only, for the two men had few
chances to measure strength in actual
conflict in the line.
Talbot rose to great heights by his
play in this game, which was even supe-
rior to his work against Colgate. His de-
fence was impregnable, but best OF all
was his brilliant work down the field on
punts At this he led all of the twenty

fcient TO make Talbot rank with BALM
as one of the great tackles Of the year.
And now another word for BALM, the
man who has played so magnifcently for
Princeton all of this season. He was
present to-day, and all Yale men well
know It. with the dash and pound as OF
old. Time and again he was under the
Yale attack; time and again he was
pounding into the Yale backs when they
caught punts. and most remarkable of
all was his rare ability TO get those Yale
runners from the rear when they attacked
the opposite side Of the line.
Yale found him impregnable, and there
after adopted the wise course OF attack
ing the other side OF the Tiger line. 1t Is
a pleasure indeed TO see men OF the type
of Talbot and Balm play football, for
they set an example that gives to the
game its great grip on the American
