Hon Harvard and Tigers
BQttled on the GridlrOn

Cambridge, Mass, Nov Harvard
won the toss and decided 20 defend the
south goal, with light wind 10 and
in punting. briggs kicked of to Lo-
gan. who fumbled, but recovered, ana
ran the ball back ten yards 70 his own
35-vard line before being turned over
by BALM. Following lIaughton's usual
custom. one rushing play was tired
which gained a sean. yard, before Ma
han punted 70 Pr.nceton's 2J-yard line
and ;hus almost Immediately trans
ferred the night 20 the territory Of the
Tigers. as briggs almost fooled his
first punt, which covered barely twenty
yards.
Francke. much TO the surprise Of
the crowd, punted on the first down
for Harvard, and shout went up from
the Princeton stands, when, on return
by briggs, Logan fumbled and Nc
Lean fell on the ball for the Tigers at
the centre OF the field.
Princeton then tested out the Har-
ward defence with a running attack,
but briggs lost yard at the centre
and Click could barely gain it back
OF tackle, so that briggs punted to 10
gan. who was down in his tracks by
Shea and Eddie Trcnkman on his own
j. vurd line.
II looked for a moment at this point
as D.. .u- .Gvautage lay with Princeton,
as Mahan puutei only twenty
yards. which gave the ball 10 the Tigers
in their opponents territory, but Tib-
bolt fumbled q high pass on the frs;
play and Parson recovered the ball for
Harvard on Princeton's 40-yard line.
This change in the fortunes encour-
aged the Crimson eleven, and the FRS;
OF the many running attacks, which
later proved so effective, was launched
for an advance of fifteen yards when
Mahan had tried a drop kick which
failed only by foot or two.
briggs punted out from his own 20
yard line. but again the punt was so
poor that Harvard took the ball on
Princeton's 39yard line and advanced
il close enough in five plays for Ma
han TO kick pretty goal from the
field when standing on the 33-yard
line.
briggs kicked off for Princeton, and
Shenk tackled Hardwick so hard as he
came rushing back that the ball was
fumbled, and Highley fell on it for
Princeton on Harvard's 30-yard line
Again, however, a glowing chance was
lost to the Tigers as Click fumbled
on the first play. Mahan recovered
for Harvard, and quickly punted deer
into Princeton territory. The period
ended two or three minutes later with
the Tigers being gradually forced
back.
Second Period.
The second period began with the
ball in Harvard's possession on
Princeton's 30-yard line. and after
Bradlee had gained two yards Tibbott
spoiled a forward pass from Mahsn
to Coolidge, and Logan called on Ma
han for another try at goal, which
failed. Two or three exchanges OF
punts followed, with the advantage
lying with Harv. I'd, so that the ball
finally vas secured on Princeton's So
yard line. From this point the Grim
son cut loose with dashes Off tackle
or through the centre. until the Tigers
we're driven back 20 their own 6-yard
line, where they held so strongly that
Mahan dropped back and kicked an
easy goal from the 15-yard line.
This was the beginning Of the end.
The Tigers seemed TO lose heart, while
the Crimson team awoke TO its full
Dower. briggs kicked off for Prince
ton, and Francke charged back % yards
before he was laid low on his own 81
yard line. On the first lineup Logan
dashed around Princeton's right end
for IS yards before he was stopped by
