centre of the field, and even into Har-
wards territory. with Baker making
two long shots for goal by drop kicks
before the first period was half over
The play on the whole, however. was
between the two 25-yard lines. with the
chief advantage for the Tigers lying
in Laws punting.
The second period began with
Princeton pressing closely and Harvard
finally taking the ball on downs. Then
came more punting and the blocked
kick by Captain Storer which gave
Brickley his chance for a goal from the
! field. 1t was in this period also that
Mahan broke loose for a run Of fifty
five yards, which gave Brickley another
chance for a goal, which he missed.
There was little to choose in the third
period. as neither team could get within
| what might be called easy scoring dis
tance although Baker tried one goal
| from placement after fair catch on
Harvard's 47-yard line.
The critical point in the struggle
really came early in the last period,
when poor punting by Harvard twice
gave Baker the chance to drop a goal
| from the field. Then. as II by magic,
the tide Of battle suddenly turned when
Brickley broke away for his run Of
sixty yards. Thereafter the Tigers
were on the defensive and fighting hard
| for some off chance opening which
might make 1t possible to turn impend-
ing defeat into victory.
Harvard in Snake Dance.
When the end came the Harvard un-
dergraduates stormed down to the
mud-scarred field for the time honored
snake dance, but somehow or other
their enthusiasm was not rampant. II
seemed to be one almost OF thankful
ness rather than Of rejoicing, and they
quickly showed their good feeling Of a
respected foe by making the dance
short and sweet and then gathering In
a body to cheer before the Princeton
stands, from which the strains of "Old
Nassau" were drifting.
The summary Of the game, which Is
appended, shows that Princeton gained
more ground by straight rushing in the
first period than Harvard and about
held it's own in the second. outside CT
Brickley's run for sixty yards. The
| Crimson backs excelled in running back
punts, gaining 1853 yards in this way to
81 for the Tigers. In punting. how
ever, Law averaged better than Hard
wick and Mahan, not counting the one
that was blocked.
In spite Of the wet, slippery ball,
fumbles were few and far between. and
in every case no damage resulted. This
is unusual considering the conditions
and speaks well for the players Of both
teams. The forward pass was little
used-only six times in all, three by
| each team. The Tigers used one on
kick formation which Melted fourteen
yards, but it came at a time when Ii
did the least good, as the second period
was just bout over.
| AS said before, both quarterbacks
used excellent judgment, although 1t
seems as If Click ruthlessly wasted one
running play in both chances the
| Tigers had to strike early In the fourth
period, when Baker was called on to
try drop kicks on the third down. 1t
looked as If a forward pass or even a
running play from fake drop-kick for
nation should have been tried.
1t seems to be the feeling here to-
night that the Princeton team did its
| full part to-day and that there was
honor even in defeat. The undergradu-
ates instead Of being depressed or dis
| appointed are almost in the mood for
celebrating, and are looking forward
with keen anticipation to the Yale
game next Saturday.
