Season With Play Which

Princeton, N. j.. Nov. 1S.-Yale fin
fehed Princeton this afternoon. Go
ing into action against a Tiger team
that was touted the best Old Nassau
had produced in years, the Blue clad
warriors out-generaled, out gained and
out played the Orange and Black
When the annual football melee was
over New Haven celebrated q 10 to 0
victory-a victory which sunk deeper
into the hearts OF the followers of the
bulldog than any similar game has.
Princeton students will have for
many q long day glorious tale to
tell of the gallant fight carried out by
the Tigers during the first half of the
game. Also it will take long time to
erase the mistakes that married this
superb work. Jack Eddy, gritty, de-
termined, willing, crowned seasons
effort with a play in the second period
that probably contributed more to the
defeat of Princeton than anything dur
ing the game. Crushing, tearing, bat
tering the Yale line until it seemed it
could not hold, the Orange and Black
clad back field drove as far as the rs
yard line. Then they called for for
ward pass. If the breaks had been
with them, everything would have
been fine. But fate ruled against them
and LeGore snatched the ball from
the turf, SKINNED q few yards and
then was tackled. LeGore then kicked
and the chance to score was gone.
1T WAS ALL YALE.
After that it was all Yale. When
the third period opened 1t was only a
matter of moments until Yale had
worked the ball close to the Princeton
goal after a Tiger tumble and Braden
used his toe to put over the first three
points from the 2S-yard line. LeGore
added a touchdown to this and Conner
ford came through with a goal after
ward.
A more perfect setting for Prince
tons annual football classic could not
have been claimed. Yale doesn't make
an annual pilgrimage to jungletown
but Harvard fills in the open places,
and 1t is the big spot for Princeton
Today the weather was perfect. A few
clouds flecked the skies shortly before
the game, but by the time the stage
was cleared for action the sun was
beaming bright and there was only a
trace of a northwest wind.
Special trains ran into Princeton
from New York and other nearby cities
with such regularity that nearly 10000
persons had been deposited long be-
fore noon. These added to the crowd
that reached Princeton by other means
and backed by the usual student con
tingent, crowded Palmer stadium with
nearly 10000 bowling, cheering persons
On the east side of the monster en-
closure sat the Yale crowd. Struggled
up close to the cheer leaders was a
white bull dog. Across the field waved
an Orange and Black mass that shout
ed and cheered and sang. There was
no leashed tiger to match the white
bull dog but there was pep" and 1,
abounded just like it was the principal
thing they teach at Princeton.
VISITORS SWARM FIELD.
When 1t was all over and the Prince
ton players had taken their sobs out on
the shoulders of their comrades, the
Yale visitors swarmed into the field
and. dancing behind band that ap-
parently was playing, they went
through the time honored custom Of
hanging their hats on the Princeton
goal posts.
Behind the scenes was another pic
tuie. Down in the shadow of a goal
pootS at icdsA Two princeton players
were lying. both with their heads bur-
rowed in their arms. Each was Sob
bing. Walking sorrowfully from the
field, they follow ed the others.
1t is blow for team that has had
the advance notice of Princeton to fall
before Yale. 1t has been years since
the Tiger has had bite of the bull dog
and it meant something to win. Hence
there were tears in abundance when
the head timekeeper ended the con-
test.
AS the game ended 1t became appar-
emit that Princeton had followed the
wrong tactics. Long forward passes by
briggs began to liven the contest just
when 1t would do the least good. The
Princeton team started down the field
with real abject in view, but the old
fumbling fault made itself apparent
and the efferts went for naught.
YALE-HARvARp NEXT.
Princeton has now been counted out
and Yale and Harvard stand at the
head of the big three" list. Harvard
