LIE Gore Takes Shot at Princeton
Goal Posts, but Fails to Score

Three rushes and q forward pass
that grounded gained nothing for Yale,
and lie Gore tried field goal, which
failed, and Princeton took the ball on
the 25-yard line.
A few moments later Yale had its
first chance TO strike. Three plunges
into the Yale line gained six yards for
Princeton and briggs punted. His eff
fort was weak indeed and went out Of
bounds on Princeton's 30-yard line. A
forward pass was grounded, and after
La Roche was stopped in a plunge
through the centre lie Gore tried an
other pass, which was broken up.
lie Gore took another shot at the
Princeton goal posts, but Nourse broke
through and blocked the drop kick, TAX
ing out lie Gore, while Wilson grabbed
the ball, and ran TO Princeton's 46-yard
line. This play saved Princeton, mo-
mentarily, at least. Eddy circled Nose
ley's station for nine yards, and was
clear when Neville stopped him, just as
the period ended.
SECOND PERIOD
Princeton started the second period
with a first down, Brown plunging the
necessary yard to make the distance,
and the bali was on Princeton's 44-yard
line. Gennert's pass to Eddy was poor
on the next play and loss Of fourteen
wards resulted. briggs was stopped on
the next play, hut Yale was off-side and
paid a fve-yard penalty. Eddy and
briggs then hammered the Blue line
and gained seventeen yards in four
PUSHES, using the end out feint to good
advantage.
Another smash at the Yale line put
the ball on Yale's 24-yard line. Moore
was substituted for Ames at this juno
ture, and then Eddy tried forward
pass. lie Gore intercepted it, making
the catch on Yale's l5-yard line.
The Princeton line stood firm under
a hammering, and lie Gore punted to
Eddy on Princeton's 40-yard line,
Comerford making the tackle. One for
ward pass play went wrong. and briggs
hunted to La Roche on Yale's 15-yard
line, Mclean making the tackle. Four
dashes into the Princeton line Melted a
arst down, and then the Blue attack
was halted. lie Gore punted to Eddy
on Princeton's 40-yard line. The Tigers
cut loose a forward pass, and Wilson
took a beautiful throw from briggs for
a gain OF thirty yards, putting the
leather on Yale's 34-yard line. Three
trials at the line gained nine yards,
with Moore carrying the ball, and Dave
Tibbott, he Of the cunning toe, was put
in to try q field goal. He replaced
Wilson.
Tibbott dropped back to make his
trial, and silence, oppressive In IT'S
tenseness, fell over the crowd. Back
came the ball, but faster than the per-
feet pass sped Moseley, the Yale end.
He blocked the kick and LIE Gore re-
covered il, racing TO Ysle's 35-yard line
before he was hurled under a pile OF
tacklers. jacques failed TO bulge Cen
merit more than yard. and after a
lateral pass, La Roche to lie Gore, failed
lie Gore punted 10 Eddy, who proceed
ed TO make 3 mess Of his catch, and
Moseley set the west stands cheering
by falling on the ball on Princeton's
32-yard line.
Here was another chance for Yale to
strike, and Tad Jones rushed Braden
into the game, replacing Jacques.
Braden attempted field goal, but Nc
Lean ripped through and blocked the
kick and then recovered the ball. run
ming to Princeton's 46-yard line before
he was caught. briggs punted over the
goal line or the next play and the Pc
riod ended.
THIRD PERIOD
The good work that the Princeton
eleven did in the Arst half was in
TERED with its bones In the second.
Braden kicked OF for Yale, and the
ball fell to earth right in between
Eddy, briggs and Brown. None Of them
