Score: Yale, O; Princeton, 0.
The play during the first two pc
! RODS was loose and cratic. Yale
| showed the stronger attacking power
| while the defensive team work of
princeton was better than that of the
Ellis.
Neither eleven played; hard, con-
sistent football a
Both the teams lost what was ap-
parently good opportunities for field
goals due to bad judgment in the Sc
lection Of preceding plays which
would bring the ball directly in
front of the goal posts. The unusual
spectacle of five field goals ATTEMPTED
Of which four were blocked and one
barely cleared the line of scrimmage
was witnessed in thirty minutes Of
play.
The one outstanding feature of the
Princeton offensive was the perfect
| 30-yard forward pass of briggs to
Wilson while Yale's best ero,.,d
gaining was done by Legore in line
punches, and end runs.
