II Yale Field, New Haven, Nov. l6-The
Yale spirit still lives. The ancient tradi-
tons of Old Eli have been upheld. Buff
feted about over half the season by the
and openly derided by the strong. the
gridiron grapplers of the Blue fought an
old-time Yale fight here this afternoon
and held Princeton to a to tie.
Again the football dope has wandered
far astray. 1t. was Eaid. and generally
believed. that the Tigers would crush
the Bulldog with ease Princeton men
and could find few takers for their liberal
odds 1t was q game that was counted
as a foregone conclusion, so far as the
result was concerned and that Is ever
the time when Yale Is most dangerous.
Out OF the comparative obscurity OF
the sub line sprang a youth by the name
Of Guernsey this afternon with a SEN
sational drop kick that put Yale in the
way of a prospective victory over the
team that held the champion Crimson to
three points a week ago, but the Tiger
was saved from defeat by a marvellous
boot that carried the ball across 40 yards
of Yale territory by Hobey Baker, the
little blonde captain OF the Jersey band
Again wild dash for 90 yards by AIMS
worth, the Yale back, followed by a driv-
ing attack by Wilson and Dunn against
the Tiger line. carried the ball inches
OF the Princeton goal, where the Jersey
men stiffened and fought with mighty
fury. Yale took desperate chance and
launched a forward pass and had the
man on the receiving end held the bali
the Blue would have had a touchdown
and victory. That was indeed a narrow
squeak for the Tiger.
"Buxx' Law Punts.
The second period was about half gone
when "Buzz'' Law, the slashing back
of the Tigers, raised a twisting punt high
in the air. Ainsworth, Of Yale, had his
arms uplifted for the occasion, but even
as he reached for the descending ball.
a burly wearer of the Orange and Black
, crashed into him, and the ball skipped
uncertainty about the field, only to be
recovered by Yale man.
Princeton was penalized for interference
and this gave the ball to Yale on the
S2-yard line. Dunn the big full back
for the Blue. crashed through center for
yards, and Atnsworth carried the ball
to Princeton's 22-yard lire Yale lacked
few feet of having first down and Dunn
quickly made this up. Knowles failed
to a try around left end but Wilson
picked up yards and placed the ball
on the Tiger 19-yard mark.
Suddenly the spectators saw a big fel-
low leap from the Yale bench where a
long line of subs were sitting. Those
wise in football caught the significance
of the play.
'Tt is Pumpellyv' some one yelled as
the big fellow tossed aside his blanket
and began prancing up ana down on the
side line with that curious string halt
movement that football players use in
warming up when called upon to replace
a man on the field at short notice. II
was not Pumpelly. however. 1t was
Guernsey. and there was q stir through
out the Yale tier, and a general craning
Of necks as he limbered up his stiffened
leg A hopeful murmur followed him as
he finally dashed out on the field. where
the battle lines waited his coming He
passed the man he was 10 relieve, and
he outran Knowles, the big back. who
had been quite conscious throughout the
game on the Yale attack.
Quickly the fighting fronts reformed
upon the arrival of the kicker. Princeton
drew up with their backs to their goal.
and the big Blue line massed in front OF
Guernsey as he coolly took his place on
the 2-yard line. He Is mighty business
like young fellow, this new hero Of the
booted ball. He went about the JOB OF
kicking as quietly as II he were only
about to peel a peach. A great hush fell
over the mighty crowd, with here and
there a voice from the Princeton side
block that kick" The pail came hop
ping upward and backward OUT Of the
mass of men with startling accuracy
Guernsey stood with his body bent to
almost a crouch. but he was upright the
instant the Ball touched his fingers. Then
he let 1t fall, seemingly as lightly as
feather, 10 the ground, and as it rebound
ed once his toe hit resounding smack.
High and far that smzsn carried, ana
the ball passed squarely over the Tiger
goal posts, though yards above them
The Blue banners rolled over the Yale
side like q mighty wash of sea water, and
boom of voices swept over the field as
the followers OF Eli jubilated-
Baker Comes Through.
No less spectacular. however. was the
boot Of Hobey Baker in the third period,
which put the score even. Baker had not
done much during the game; in fact he
had been quite disappointing to his most
ardent admirers. HeraIded as q marvel
GUS man at carrying the ball through a
broken field. he had been stopped time
and time again before he could even get
started. Then at a moment when II was
least expected, and when he seemed to
| be taking a hopeless chance. Baker
dropped the ball to his toe on YaIe,s
4e-yard line, and cracked Il across the
| Blue posts. The spectators gasped In
amazement as the little blonde leader OF
the Jungleers cut loose his leg and q
second later even the Yale rooters had
to join in the outburst from sheer ad-
miration.
