Periods, Princeton Tore Loose
Smashing Attack.
PLAY LIKE NEW COMBINATION

Coach, but Onslaught Con-
tinues With Fury.

PRINCETON. y. j., November IA
Yale defeated Princeton, 10 to IA. to-
day In football game which for
thrilling climax rivaled modern stage
craft at its best. Beaten back and
scored upon with apparent ease during
the first three periods, the Tigers tore
loose with smashing attack in the
final fifteen minutes, and fairly riddled
the Els line
Twice the Orange and Black swept
across the Blue Il n line. and when
time was called were fighting desper-
ately for third touchdown and
victory,
No similar situation has developed IN
many years in the ANIMAL game between
these two universities. With LIS thrill
ing moments of spectacular play and
gripping uncertainty. the contest
formed most fitting dedication OF
Princeton's new Palmer Memorial
Stadium. Forty thousand cheering
spectators filed the great gay horse
shoe. warm sun and an almost en-
tire absence OF wind made playing
conditions perfect.
Tigers Take the Defensive.
During three-quarters Of the game
there was nothing to indicate the SEN
sational climax with which Princeton
was to make memorable the dedication
of it's new football arena. Forced to
take the defensive from the very be-
, strength at any time. They seemed
TO be completely puzzled By the wide
open attack In which the Blue back
| field passed the ball from player to
player In runs around the end. and
then suddenly switched to long for
ward passes
However, the Orange and Black
played like new combination in the
final quarter when Blue substitutes
had been sent to tho field. Yale's first
string men were quickly put back into
play. but once the Tigers got going,
they were not to be stopped Two
| touchdowns were scored, ana with
less than five minutes of play, Prince
ton started for another touchdown.
Captain Talbot frantically urged his
players TO make last stand, and they
responded nably Princeton found it's
gains cut down from yards to feet and
| resorted to forward passes, but they
were broken up by the Blues alert
backfeld, and when the game ended
the ball was in midileld.
