inc greater part of the game. No
scoring was done in the nrsl hale an,p
both combinations repeatedly tailed TO
advance or retain the ball at critical
moments. Protectors defense was
reasonably effective, but its attack =,
was tame, except in the last few mo- ::
mcnts of the game. when seventeen q
sensational forward passes netteu :
them gains OF rnorc than 100 y;,rds.f
Yale however. was always able to
intercept the ball when u touchdown
seemed imminent. Il

came down the field almost dire city

and then Quarter Back LaRoche. a see

vile to I-cGorc, over the right side OF
the Princeton line. The play was per
| fcctly made, and when the Tiger tack
