Forty thousand cheering spectators
from all points of the compass filled
the great gay horseshoe with its in
Vulnerable tiers of seats. A warm
sun and an almost entire absence of

The contest opened with an exchange
of punts. Princeton soon found she could
make no progress either through the line
or around the ends and punted at every
opportunity Yale opened with assort

beautiful forward pass TO Ainsworth, who
ran more than 20 yards for a touchdown.
