Yale Used Twenty-six Men-A
GLORIOUS Defeat" for
Princeton.
CLICK AND MOORE STAR

EILTlQlS UEtEdLs IiiiittAbil llNlA ioON-
ball team enjoyed the distinction of
such a reversal on Saturday at the
hands of her old rival-the foaming
Yale bulldog from New Haven. Down
through the annals Of past Yale
Princeton battles there have been
blood-stirring climaXes. sensational
features and thrilling moments with
out number but the acme of per-
lection in this line was attained at
the Palmer Stadium in Princeton
when the Tiger and the Bulldog met
there Saturday
Swept off their feet early in the
game by an attack that made them
dizzy and netted three touchdowns,
the Tigers. with a humiliating de-
feat. by a score of 10 to 0. staring
them in the face, suddenly under
went complete change. The beaten
and covering jungle beast, in the
tHinkling of an eye, found itself, all
of the old fire and vim came back
and inch by inch the mighty Yale
machine was driven back-not once,
but twice. over its own goal line on
forced marches down the field that
made the Princeton combination look
like some mighty levethian suddenly
unIeashed where a few moments be-
fore there had been but a meek
little helpless lamb.
YaIe's Wonderful Attack.
Yale's wonderful open attack, the
most perfect under modern football,
completely baffled the Tiger defense
in the first three-quarters, netting
three touchdowns to the Blue. On
this combination only one field goal
was annexed. Yale's artists with the
educated toe were sadly inaccurate.
The Canadian Rugby style of foot
ball, introduced with such success
BY the Yale team this season, was
something the tawny Tiger had heard
much Of but though forewarned,
Princeton was not forearmed. No alb
solutely invulnerable defense has APP
parently been perfected against 1t.
The fact is that on the triple pass.
which the Yale backs worked so
frequently, none knows just who is
to receive the ball finally. and it is
extremely difficult to outguess an OPP
ponent who does not himself know
what he is going to do beyond hne
shadow outline.
Princeton's remarkable flash in the
last period showed the latent |
strength of the Tiger squad, that !
which the experts have talked about !
all season. Princeton had a veritable !
gold mine, but the gold was never |
brought to the surface until the last
few minutes of the 1914 season. Yale, !
for the first time in her history, was
compelled to use twenty-siX men !
stop Princeton in that last furious |
rush, and even then she would have
been unsuccessful had not the minute
hand of the clock come to her rescue
and licked off the death knel or !
Princeton hopes.
Moore and Click shine.

put up as they tore in time and again

Tigers Were Outplayed.
Aside from this surprising flash Of
offensive strength in the last quar-
ter, Princeton was as completely out
played by Yale as by Harvard a
week ago. 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 forward passes, APP

Tiger line and secondary defense just

Princeton was, furthermore, out

these gains had driven the Tigers
well into their own territory Yale
struck viciously and with a bewilder-
ing attack quickly carried the ball
over for score.
Tigers individual Stars Shine.
