All Dope Must Be Left Behind
When Bulldog GrabbleS Tiger

How is it, one might ask II one had
nothing better 20 do, that r team can
gain two yards 10 one and still get
beaten 10 20 O.
The correct answer Is practically this
one Of the teams was Princeton-and
he other team was Yale. No other an
Iver fits as we'll.
When these two elevens meet, ground
gained and such other details have
toihing 10 DO with the score. Princeton
lost no chance 20 make her mistakes at
critical moments And Yale, after a
bad start, made no mistakes that
counted
mere glance at the elements and
Incidents leading up 70 both Yale scores
IS quite enough. Through the first
quarter and part Of the second, both
teams wore the game slick by handing
i back and forth 10 a vain effort to
blow. Drop kicks were thumped into
he line one after another. Fumbl les
resulted, and freak tactics ruled the
cay. But after the first two quarters
Yale decided 20 play some football. while
Princeton persisted IN her first and only
'ytnm o. playing ballyel.
The elements referred to are BIS fol-
lows; Opening the third quarter Yale
teked OF. On a kickoff the only peo-
PIE not onside are the coaches, the sub
sututes anc the spectators. IL was
tnybodys ball upon the field, yet
Princeton permitted the kick 20 bound
'tiily along until Moseley, dashing for
ward, covered the ball for Yale Oh the
myers 20-ysrd line.
That play Was the beginning Of q SOM
ofs end for Princeton, the beginning OF
ne end OF a most imperfect day. IL
sa' another evidence of Princeton's
nentsl and physical sluggishness that
oossnt show in the full box score. That
pay pat Braden In the way for his field
goal, which followed udily about two
1inu.es later on.
II was Princeton's wandering atar
MO the poppy fields Of dreSmland, plus
iA!ss alertness, that brought in the
trSt score. The kickoff was q poor
one and but for Princeton's dumbness
