Ten minutes before 2 o'clock the

Down on the green infield the little

After a little Legore punted to
Princeton's 40-y yard line. Now In an
instant came sudden sensation.
Driggs shot the ball In "A long for
ward pass Of 80 yards straight into
Wilson's hands. Wilson turned and
lcaped toward the Blue goal with
only one man In front OF him. The
one man was Laroche. lie brought
Wilson down with a swift rushing
attack. The Tigers took the ball to
Yale's ls-yard line. Tlbbott was
brought in 10 kick and Wilson went

blocked by Moseley. Princeton re-

Tibbott was taken right out again

bad knee. which kept him out OF tho
lineup for two weeks, had deprived
him OF II last chance for glory.
After two or three plays Legore
punted to Eddy on Princetons ga

recovered the ball. The Yale rooters
rose and yelled Jubilantly. Braden

was going to try for n little star field

even less successful than Tibbott.
His kick was blocked and the ball
went bounding back across the chalk

SECOND PERIOD.

Almost the hrst thing that hap
pened In the second period might
have been a great Princeton catas-
tropho. a bad pass by uennert sent
the ball beyond Eddys reach. He
turned and scrambled around after
II and managed 10 fall on Il. just be-
fore a rushing Yale end reached him.
Princeton began working back with
line smashes and long slanting runs
by briggs. Eddy made tho down on
Ynle's 35-yard line. Both teams
gathered for counsel over on the Gin
der path at one side Tibbott was
running up and down getting his

The Tigers were punching holes

then Brown shot through centre for

Yale held the next plunge solldly on
