sustained attack and carried the ball
across midfeld BY line plunging.
Shifting to forward pass advance,
they found the Tiger unawed, and. after
the ball had been grounded without
gain, Guernsey kicked his first field
goal OF tho day from his own forty-six-
yard line. II was one of the longest

Here Captain Wilson was forced again
TO call on Guernsey. who. standing on
tho thirty -siN-yard line. hoisted the
ball between the goal bars.
Princeton turned and carried tho
pigsllin to inside the Yale ten-yard
line. Foot by foot the Tigers fought
their way into the Blue defense and

Tufts untangled the mess of players
and awarded a touchdown TO Prince

ball clutched in his arms. an inch or
two over the line. Tinbott quickly con-
verted the touchdown into a goal, and
Prnceton's scoring for 1915 was com
pleted.
YALE COHORTS GO WILD
WHEN LEAD is RECLAIMED
After fifteen minutes rest, Yale set
out TO regain the lead. Parisette
Kicked off for Princeton. and on the
first lineup he punted to the Tigers
twenty -tive-yard line, where Tibbott
dropped the ball. after fierce tackle
by Wilson and Church. Way. who was
on their heels. scooped up the bounding
ball and raced over the line for a
touchdown. Guernsey kicked goal. and
the Yale cohorts went wild.
Princeton returned to the attack
with another burst Of speed and omen
play, which they maintained through
the rest of the period and the final
quarter. In one way or another, the
Ellis stayed each attack when within
the shadow OF their own goal and the
final whistle found them exhausted and
tottering. but with the ball safe in
their possession near midfeld
