from the efforts Of the Blue. ii can be
said that Princeton Was as much re-
sponSible for its own defeat as was its
successful rival.
Yale played hard but ragged foot
ball. and the one outstanding feature of
the Ellis game WAS the al.rtncss of the
New Haven players and their ability to
take advantage OF an opening when
the opportunity presented. Given the
ball by their opponents twice on the
twenty-yard line. Yale was enabled
quickly to convert the errors into

offensive play.

aside. since ONLY two of the players who
faced Princeton opened the contest
against tho Providence eleven. That
the Crimson varsity might have been
defeated by the splendid Brown ma

score would have been far less one

not repel. Pennsylvania was victori-

tho final minute of play.
Both the Army and Navy teams
which meet in their annual battle Sat

with victories. but the Cadets again
showed signs OF the slump that has
married their recent work. while the
