Princeton, y. j., Nov. 1.-THE pen
picture of Yale's triumph over the
Princeton Tiger has been drawn else
where. but the cold facts of how the
victory was won remain 20 be told here
Never has there been a more sensa-
tional finish to a football game than
that which marked the defeat OF the
Princeton eleven by Yale by score oil
10 to IL.
For three periods the Yale team
played invincible football, but IN the
last quarter Yale found Tiger
aroused. and the defence which had
held off Princeton with ease IN the
early periods seemed to become disor-
gained and impotent TO ward OIL the
savagery of the Nassau attack. W lth
three touchdowns registered against
them, this regenerated Princeton team
fought back with wonderful ardor, and
came within "A touchdown OF tleing the
score in the last gruelling half hour oil
play.
First Period.
Princeton won the toss and elected
to defend the south goal and receive
the kickoff, thereby gaining the ad-
vantage of the wind. II was exactly
1859 when the preliminary whistle
sounded, and a minute later the tnou-
sands in the stands sat tense as Con
row set the ball and then sent II SPIN
ming down the gridiron into the wait
ing arms of +. Trenkmann on the
Tigers 3O-yard line. Trenkmann lodged
10 the side as "Red" Brann swooped
down on him, and, swerving past ha!t
dozen Yale tacklers, plunged to ms
own 36-yarI line before being brought
to earth byStilman.
Then it was that the battle began in
earnest. Princeton lined up for us
first test of the Yale line and Click,
taking the ball on the pass, attempted
to slice through the right side Of the
Blue defence line. He no sooner got
under way than Belts smeared him TO
earth and he fell just one yard nearer
the Yale goal. Ames tried the same
side of the line, but with little better
effect. for Stillman nailed him after he
had advanced two yards. Finding the
Yale line stanch, briggs punted and
the ball hoped along the ground,
Shenk falling on the ball on fale's
coward line. II was Yale's ball, how
ever. and the Blue got its first oppor-
tunity to disclose its power.
Knowles hit the heart OF the line,
but Click was on him and brought him
down before he gained an inch, and the
Blue without hesitation kicked, lie Gore
getting off Il tremendous punt which
Ames captured on his own 22-yard line,
where Captain Talbot bore him down
before he could stir in his tracks.
briggs, not desiring to waste strength
in his own territory, punted to lie Gore,
who fumbled the ball as a result Of in
reference, on Yale's 40-yard line,
Knowles recovering it on the 45-yard
mark. The Tigers were penalized ten
yards.
Yale now showed the expectant
throng the much heralded double and
triple passes. The first exhibitions
were none to successful, for each cost
the Blue a yard, Click and Tibbott
smashing through and smearing the
runners by daring tackles. With the
ball on Princeton's 43-yard line, lie
Gore on the fourth down launched a
long forward pass down the field which
crossed the Princeton line. The Tigers
thereby got the ball on their own 45-
yard line.
Tibbott and Click could not gain, so
DTlggS DuQteQ, lie NOEt MAKING a ldlI
catch on his own 22-yard line. Aims
worth advanced three yards on a play
off Mclean, and +. Trenkmann smoth-
cred lie Gore for loss Of two yards
or a double lateral pass. Offside, how
ever, cost the Tigers five yards. and
Knowles made four on fake kick for
nation before Click and Mclean
smeared him. Highley spoiled another
double pass which the Blue attempted,
but offside cost the Tigers another five
yards and gave Yale first down on
its own i2-yard line.
Ainswo rth electrified the crowd by
slipping off Ballin's position for a
twenty run to the Tigers
3J-yard line, where Shea finally got
him. Yale had been finding things easy
on this side Of the Tiger line. and Shea
took to the side lines, while Brown
pranced out TO the scrimmage. There
was no stopping the Blue, and Knowles
bowled right through Gennert for eight
yards, while Ainsworth added another
ward through the same hole. Knowles
then sliced through off guard and made
it first down on Prlnceton's l8-yard
line.
Yale was shouting for a touchdown,
and Knowles responded by crushing
through Gennert for another five-yard
