Defence About Equal.
Yale's running attack was not. SO
AIRED and hardly so well sustained as
that Of Princeton. but defensively there
vss little to choose In fact, the Blue
line was the stronger, if anything, ana
more impregnable than Harvards
week ago against any plays aimed De-
tween tackle and tackle. There was
certain looseness brought about oy
Prnes.on's wide end runs from the
dangerous fake kick formation, so that
Tibboa. briggs and Moore got away al
tine, for dashing runs of from twenty
10 twenty-five yards, but these runs
were scattered.
Yale had more chances TO score than
Princeton, and on the whole gave the
Impression Of carrying the fght TO
hsr opponents. Guernsey was robbed
u another goal from the field In the
bird period because of holding in the
hre, 80 that Yale not only lost three
rsints but fifteen yards as well. he
| ,sd two other shots at the goal posts,
10Th Of which missed by narrow
rsrgins.
The first came before the game was
no minutes old, and the opportunity
sne because Shea fumbled punt and
Aub Sheldon, who started the game at
tt tackle instead Of Gates, fell on the
AL for Yale.
Dave Tibbo.., on the other hand, had
icly one chance 20 try his specially,
-. because Prir ceton did not get
v,hin striking distance three or four
srss, but because Princeton was al
ryt confronted with the need OF

.sdly more than q foot, and IL came
tse7i In much the same way as Guern-
syi first chance was offered. In
