TIGERS SHUT OUT
BY CREW OF YALE
Princeton Defeated in Annual
Battle With Ellis by Ten
to Nothing.
POOR PLAY IN FIRST HALF


in the Palmer stadium today by a
score of 10 to 0. A field goal by
Braden, touchdown by Legore, and
goal from touchdown by Comerford
represents Yale's ten points. The
first two periods OF the game was
poorly played, each team missing
chances TO score on drop kicks, In
the last two periods Yale showed that
il had the power The largest crowd
that ever saw a game in Princeton
witnessed the contest
Throws Are Successful.
With the score 10 to 0 against
Princeton. the Tigers uncovered a
sensational forward passing game
which, for short time, threatened
to make the Orange and Black factors
in the final minutes OF the contest
Throw after throw was successfully
made and caught and quick marches
for more than half the length OF the
field resulted. But in every case Yale's
secondary defense knocked down OF
intercepted the thrown ball when a
touchdown seemed imminent and
kicked out of danger.
This overhead attack was the hes,
feature Of Princcton's play today, but
came too late to offset defeat
Decisive Punch Lacking.
In rushing and first downs Prince.
ton made more ground than Yale but
could not carry theattack through
with the decisive punch that the Ellis
showed when til opportunity pre-.
scented. OF the seventeen passes
flung by the Tigers seven were com.
pleted for gain of more than 10(
yards, or the length of the field ant
had they been consecutively manip
ulated might have changed the result
In individual play as well as team
work Princeton earned the greater
honors. The Tiger ends tackled ant
covered punts in splendid form, while
the backheld afforded excellent inter
ference for the wide swinging runs o.
Briggs. Nourse and Mclean fire.
quently broke through and smashed
plays i'll the Yale backheld, but thu
right side of Princeton's line wa:
weak and it was through this poin
that most Of the rushing gains anc
the touchdown were made
Stars of Yale.
For Yale. Cautain Black, Fox ant
Moseley played the strongest gam,
on the line Legore, with his forwar,
q, passing, line bucking and end skirtine
was the only individual star of tn
contest, although Laroehe came in TO
much praise for the manner in whicl
he filled Smiths place at quartefbacl
at the eleventh hour.
The play was generally slow, how
t ever, which was surprising in view o
the perfect weather and field cond
tons. The turf was dry and firm
permitting sprinting and zig-zag run
without the probability of slipping.
: An autumn sun took just enoug
. chill out of the atmosphere to PERM
the players to do their best. A stronl
wind which eddied about the stadium
, seriously interfered with the handlin,
. and kicking of punts during the frs
/ two periods, but died to a gent
, breeze as thesun sank toward tn
horizon.
Yale Wins Toss.
