Subiinemen Fail.

But what seemed to upset the situa-
ton was the substitution of two-thlrds
of the line. swung in suddenly within
a few minutes. and tempting Prince
ton to feel out that new line with a
running game which had been stopped
by Yale's first line in the early periods
of the game Once finding that line
yielding, Princeton gathered heart and
courage. until the contract between
the two teams in the last period would
have almost convinced any one coming
late to the game that the scoreboard
must lie wrong. for all during the final
period Princeton was the aSgressor
and Yale painfully on the defense. The
game proved what has almost inNari-
ably been true of Sale-Princeton con-
tests, that no matter how the teams
were rated previous to the game. there
are plenty of thrills furnished in the
two hours of any afternoon when the
Bulldog and the Tiger meet on the
gridirOn.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PRINCETON. n. J., Novem-
Der I4.-"What happened: That
is the question forty thousand
people were asking when they
filed out of the Princeton stadium
here today. The end OF the first
half Yale had scored practically
enough to make the game safe
and vet for the last few minutes
oi the final period there were a
great many white and anxious
faces on the Yale side after
Princeton had gotten its second
goal and the score stood: Yale.
10: Princeton. II. and only the
possibility of another touchdown
standing in the way OF Princeton
converting what for more than
half the game had looked like a
hopeless rout into final victory
for the Tigers.
What did happen:
From a foot ball standpoint there
were two reasons for this sudden
change of aspect. In the first place.
throughout three-quarters of the game
Princeton had let Yale have the ball
almost all the time, and while kicking
in ones own territory and saving a
team is good generalship if the other
team has such a varied attack that
it is eating up ground all the time on
you, you must perforce keep the Dali
out of it's possession more. The sec
ond reason, and one that obtains IN all
athletic sports, is the transfer OF CON-
fidence. Princeton was in hopeless de-
jection,-- and it was not until Yale
threw in substitutes by the wholesale
that the detection was enlightened.
When, however, Princeton found that
spirits rose tremendously. confidence
returned and fired their attack with
steam and energy, and that confidence
kept growing every second. Mean
while Yale, not greatly alarmed at the
first touchdown, was seized with al
most a panic as Princeton proceeded
steadily down the field toward sec
ond, and by the time that second
touchdown had been registered fa,e
had put back practically all her first
team and was fighting for her very
life
The substitution of Guernsey for Lee
Gore was a wise move. as Yale will
need LeGore next Saturday. and 1t was
foolish to take any chance with MIN
after the score had been ]? to o. es-
pecially when Guernsey's punts were
good, and Yale had enough strength
in the backfeld with Scovill and
Ainsworth for q running game at any
time.

Danny Coogan, who formerly had
charge of the Cornell University team

is to get together with Captain FeinIe
preparatory to calling out the candi-

NFeinle is expected to be again the
box mainstay, while Ed Kelly, who
las made good at football and basket
ball so far this season, is expected to
shine in the box. Tyson, a known prod
uct; Schwegler, the old Tech player;
and Garvey are to start in as pitchers.
Among the catchers, Dawlor, Corkins,
Weems, Welch, Lynch, and NeUbauer
are available.
In the outfield. Shugrue, Mccarthy,
Tormey. Ryan. Barron. and CaInan are
