the Victory.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Novem-
Der l5.-Rising Phoenix-like from
the ashes of a disastrous pre-
liminary foot bali season, the Yale
eleven won from Princeton here
this afternoon, IS to 7. No grid
iron classic of recent years has
furnished greater thrills, individ-
ual playing prowess or form up
set than this most surprising
triumph of the Blue over the
Grange and Black.
1t was case of a powerful foot
bail combination just beginning
to find itself, overwhelming by
brute strength an eleven far more
finished in playing tactics, but
lacking the ability to cope with a
Yale eleven fighting desperately.
AS team, the Princeton machine
was superior to the Blue, but the
smooth Tiger juggernaut was
ripped apart by bulldog. squad
gone berserk.
Gridiron heroes rose and fell during
the struggle. but none reached the
heights attained by Otis l. Guernsey.
whose clever field goal kicking, paved
the way for Yale victory. Twice In
the second period Guernsey drove the
ball through the Tiger goal posts when
Capt. Wilson OF the Yale team found
that the eleven as a whole was un-
equal to the task of taking the spheroid
across the opponents line. Both drop
kicks were made from near midheld
and the performance of the Green
wich. Conn.,, player won him a place
among the kicking stars of foot ball.
pie Way, pitcher of the Blue base
ball team, shared the glory of the VIC
tory with Guernsey. for it was his Tor
tune to scoop up a fumbled punt by
Tibbott and race across the goal line
for Yale's only touchdown of the game,
and the first that the Ellis have made
in the past two contests ways run
was one of the most spectacular fea-
lures of struggle that bristled with
startling plays, and tonight Guernsey,
Way, Capt. Wilson and Emergency
Coach Tom Shevlin are the heroes OF
both town and gown. For Princeton
nothing remains but the memory of a
season that started in blaze of glory
and closed in the bitterness OF unex-
pected defeat by both Yale and Har-
ward.
Nearly 90, 900 Present.
Close to $4,000 spectators thronged
into the Yale foot ball arena, filing the
circular tiers of seats until only one
or two small bare spots showed in the
great gray amphitheater. The weather
and the gridiron conditions were per-
feet
From the opening of, the game it
was seen that the Ellis had been keyed
up to the do or die stage of foot ball,
and they assailed the Princeton war
riors like wild men, making up in in
d:vidual power and briiliancy what
they lacked in teamwork. and strategic
ally it was this fighting spirit aided
by the breaks in the luck of the game
and errors contributed by Princeton
which swung the pendulum OF victory
to the Blue.
The ball was carried or kicked up and
down the gridiron throughout the first
qua rter without decided advantage for
either team. although Yale showed
confidence af:l increased the longer she
held Princeton scoreless. With the be-
ginning of the second period, the Ellis
tried a sustained attack, and carried
ing.
Shifting TO a forward pass advance,
they found the Tiger unawed By the
move. and. after the bail had been
grounded without gain, Guernsey kick
ed his first field goal OF the day from
his own -f6-yard line. For the full 81
yards the spheroid sailed straight and
true for the Princeton goal, and il
went over the bar, in one of the longest
kicks in the history Of foot bail be-
tween Yale and Princeton, the Blue CO.
horts rose and waved their coiors
Almost Immediately Guernsey dupli-
Gated the feat. the second field goal
coming SO quickly that it left the
Nassau contingent smarting by its
suddenness. On PTinceton's kick of.
Capt. Wilson had run the bail back to
midfield, and four more rushes through
the demorAlized opponents pl,ced the
hail inside princeton's 30-yard line.
Here the Tigers set themselves and
held Yale. SO that again Capt. Wilson
was forced to call on Guernsey for
drop kick. and the latter. standing on
the 3e-yard line. hoisted the ball be-
tween the goal bars.
