BY GRANTLAND RICE.

New Haven, Conn. Nov. l3.-There
was one play in the big game that no
Princeton man will ever forget. With
FIVE minutes remaining OF the closing
reriod, with Yale leading, 10 TO =
Guernsey punted badly. and Il was
Nassau's ball on Yale's 33-yard line.
Here was the big chance. series Of
steady marches drove the ball on yard
By yard until tho 7-yard line was
reached. Here Yale stopped the rush
Tor two plays. but on the next try
Princeton crossed the Yale defence.
Click started as IL to circle Ysle's
left end. and the entire Yale line was
drawn in and thrown his way. Then
Click suddenly passed the ball 70
Moore, who was ten yards out beyond
any Blue tackler. with only seven yards
20 20 and north wind az his back.
There was not a vestige OF human
vegetation between Moore and the Yale
goal All he had 20 do was hold the
ball which struck in his arms and then
make three unhampcred strides for a
certain touchdown. But the ball bound
ed from Moore's grip and rolled side
ways across the field. He still had a
chance 20 recover and fash across, but
in his overhaste tho ball continually
eluded MA grip and finally went 20 ale
out Of bounds. This was the last blow
that crumplod Princeton up.
Through tho game Coach Rush, Of
Princeton. sat with hardly change OF
expression. Ills emotions were won
dsrfuily masked. lie had done his
share and more than his share Of build
ing Tiger team. Tho rest of II vas

that defeat M Rush felt IL not so
much for himself az for hia players
and his university But no casual oh
server could have told that Rush was
more than mere spectator ~ tho
game.

The Exeter star, TO expedite some cN-
ira explaining, has been crippled most
Of the season. But against Prin. ston
he proved 10 be one of the best for
wards Of the year, vital power in
Yale's success.
At one stage of the battle white
dove flew across the field. But the
dove Of peace had no lure for Yale.
Il was n case of the Dogs of War
or you might say the bulldogs of war
for her-or total humiliation.
Over on the Tiger bench Ad Kelly
and Bill Edwards suffered the tortures
that Mr.. Dante 80 ably described in
his Summing trip through the Valley
of the Damned. When Princeton was
fighting her way to Yale's goal in the
second quarter Kelly was unable to
look toward the field. His entire sys-
TEN was racked with a nervous force
almost beyond control.
Princeton showed flashes OF strong
offence, but no consistent striking
power. Yet she had a stronger offence
than Yale by almost two to one.
II was n tough day for Dave Tibbott
Earlier in the season Tibbott had been
the bulk Of Princeton's scoring attack
To-day he missed fairly even try for
a drop kick and then gnve vent TO n
muf which Melted Yale seven points.
On at lest two occasions there
seemed to be palpable interference with
Princeton catchers handling the for
ward pass. On at least one of these
occasions the Tiger receiver was bndly
Joltcd just before he reached for the
ball. lie was rammed in the back, and
this Illegal interference cost Princeton
about fifteen yards. as no penalty was
called.
