fantly executed line plunges and short
runs just outside tackle. Until Harvard
was forced to within 20 yards of her
goal posts, the Crimson line and sec
ondary defense appeared unable either
to diagnose or check the Orange and
Black advance.
With a touchdown in sight, Princeton
suddenly discovered that the Harvard
vulnerable line, while the ends and sec
ond line of defense swept up to block
even the slightest suggestion of an
opening. Three times Shea and Click
plunged against this stone wall, to be
thrown without gain, and it was Tib-
pott that finally turned the march up
Held into score by dropkicking the
ball over the goal bar from the 2S-yard
line.
Princeton's second field goal was
made under almost identical conditions
In the third period. The only difference
was that the Tigers at was longer
sustained and gained ME ground. In
the end, however, Coach Rush,s team
found itself up against the same i'm
penetrable line and again it was Tib-
Dott who added three more points to
the Tigers score.
Harvard's Superior Play.
During the contest Harvard outkick-i
ed and outrushed Princeton, suffered
less penalties for violations of the play
Ing code, gained more ground with for
ward passes, and, in fact, generally
outplayed the Tigers. Harvard gained
$50 yards to Princeon's Alb in ten kicks,
made 174 yards in forty-seven rushes to
Princeton's 141 yards in forty-six
rusnes. and lost 36 yards as the result
Of four penalties imposed to Princeton's
35 yards in six penalties Harvard
gained 35 yards with three completed
forward passes, while the Tigers failed
to gain in this manner, although achiev-
= ing 5 yards as the result of one sue
cessful lateral pass Princeton gained
nine first downs to Harvards seven
The Princeton line played higher than
the Harvard forwards, where Harvard
was quicker in getting, under the
Orange and Black forwards, frequently
finging them back both when Prince
ton had the ball and when it was in
Crimson possession. The Harvard in
reference was better timed and more
cohesive than Princeton's. and the offen-
sive plays selected with better judgment.
Harvard appeared to have difficulty in
absorbing the signals, said to be due to
an eleventh hour shift in the code
Toward the end of the game the
Princseon cheering squads lost patience

was heard
Not in several years has poorer tac-
king been witnessed in big eastern
foot ball game. The players of both
eievens frequently missed their oppo-
nent completely, and at other times
tried to bring him to the ground with
neck holds The puzzling line shifts
adopted by Harvard also threw the
Tigers wing-tip players out of position
at times, and sometimes put them
ccrpletely out of the play.
Capt Ned Mahan was the Individual
star of the game, due to his lodging
rms, punting and goal kicking ability
He was aided far more by the Harvard
linesmen and hac,Sfield than were Tfb-
hott, briggs or Click, all OF whom play
ed o brilliant individual game for the
Tigers. Soucy and Lamberton had a
great duel for their end positions. both
making spectacular stops not only in
their own positions. but in other play
efs' territory The Harvard left end
was the better player on defense, how
ever. while he continued in the game
Gilman, at left tackle for the Crimson,
also starred at frequent intervals, while

backs in the handling of the ball was,
