PRINCETON. N. j., Nov. Is
Playing errattc but alert football Yale
trfumphed over Princeton in the an
nua1 game here today, by score of
ten to nothing. The result of the
contest which attracted the largest
gathering of spectators, that ever
thronged into the Palmer stadium
was not a disappointment to eager adj
herents. Errors of play and poor gen
eralship by the Orange and Black
team virtually presented opportuni-
ties for Eli scoring and the New FIav-
en- combination was quick to take adj
vantage of the openings with the re-
suit that the Blue won its third
straight victory from the Orange and
Black since 1914.
Poorly Played Game.
The contest fell far short of many
OF its predecessors in this, the most
ancient of all American football clas-
sic series. The play was slow and
uncertain for the greater part of the
game, and both combinations repeat
edly failed to advance or retain pos
session Of the ball at critical mo-
nents. Princeton showed the same
effective strength which has marked
its play against strong elevens all
fall. but little or no effective offense.
Yale with more erratic but better
balanced combination swung loose
after fair attack, when scoring APP
peared possible and with a field goal
and touchdown routed the Tigers for
the second time In the new Princeton
football arena. More than $4,000
spectators filled every seat and avail
able foot Of standing room in the
huge concrete horseshoe and the Yale
cohorts went wild when the Eli team
led by Black, emerged victorious In
a contest which was thought Yale
had but an outside chance Of winning.
QuarterbacI1s Use Bad Judgment.
The contest throughout the first
two periods showed little advantage
or strength either way. Both eleyens
had opportunities after periods OF
rushing and punting to kick field
goals from comparatively short dis
tances but in each case poor general
ship on the part Of the quarterbacks
in selecting preliminary plays and
the positions for the attempts pre-
vented scoring in this manner. Yale's
initial chance followed Immediately
after the kick off at the opening of
the third period. LeGore drove the
ball high to Princeton's twenty-yard
mark where the Princeton players
permitted it to strike the ground and
bound back into the arms or left
q Orange and Black goal. Itywas not
until Champion Hogg threw him with
vicious tackle, that a majority Of
the Princeton players realized that
the ball belonged to Yale. Several
protested to Referee Tufts, but he
waved them away.
Braden Kicks Field Goal.
After two line plunges which
proved that Yale could not penetrate
Princeton's defense at this period Of
the game, Braden dropped back and
kicked an easy field goal from the
twenty-slx-yardsl line.
IN the fourth period the Blue
clinched the game by adding q touch
down and goal from touchdown and
again Princeton made the score pos
sible By nisplay, following a punt
across the Princeton goal line for a
touchback, the Tigers put the ballain-
& to play on their twenty-yard line. In
the second plunge against the Yale
scrimmagess Brown dropped the ball
and Captain Black fell upon 1t for
Yale With atouchdown Just twenty
yards away the Eli eleven gathered
itself for a desperate charge. Twice
the Bulldog flung itself against the
Tiger line with little or no gain and
