Hold Dance of Victory.

The achievement of Scheerer. and
Princeton's success, were witnessed
by a crowd that lined the Yale bowl
in numbers that ran between 10000
and $4,000. A third of these, it SEEM
ed, poured out of their seats after the
game. and took part in a serpentine
dance of victory which was carried
through the goal post and for five
miles into the town. a band blaring
the sounds of celebration as it went.
For the Princeton team the triumph
over Yale came as the joyful climax of

foot ball year. Princeton had gained
an early advantage when, advancing
into Yale territory by forward passes,
Strubing was placed in position to
score for the Tigers by field goal in
the first period He kicked from the
s0-yard line. The Nassau eleven
stopped Yale's rushing attack after
the Blues had gained thirty yards in
the second period. but was unable to
advance its own offenSe.
The third period found Yale, spurred
by the coaches comment between
halves. pressing it's attack by rushing
and kicking. with the result that the
Blue, went into the lead. The boot of

one from the 90 and the other from
the 25 yard line.
The first of these scores was made
possible when Walker blocked and
Reirhardt recovered Trimble's punt
On Princeton's 17-yard line. Yale was
ahead. and it's followers in the stands

heavier Yale line.
But with Trimble's interception of a
Yale forward pass, Princeton stock
advanced in the fourth period. For
ward passes again were the Tiger
resort for gain, and the ball was
forced along to Yale's 25-yard line.
From the side lines, Murray. Nassau

The Tiger host broke into an uproar

Neville and Kempton attempted the

the turn OF events. Substitutes were

Tigers Aerial Work Fine.
Except for the deciding play by
Scheerer. Princeton's offense today
was largely through the air. The
Tigers brought to the Yale bowl a
forward passing bag of tricks which
only at times. and which served as an
effective substitute for the rush
formation attack which Princeton
teams Of other years have relied on
notable exposition of the open style
of play seen in any game between the
big three" of Princeton, Yale and
Harvard. Supplemented by Tri,nble's
occasional long-gaining dashes, and
Gar:ity's shorter punches, the for
ward pass brought Princeton to the
tie which Scheerer's individual play
made a victory.
Yale's blacksmith Braden rushing
like bull. Neville knitting his way
through the Tiger line and KemDton
contributing advances by run backs OF
punts and surprise dashes around an
end-were greater ground gamers by
the old-style methods. But the method
proved wearing. and Braden was or
dered to try drop kicks from long dis
tances, failing from the 46-yard line
In the second period and from the As
yard line in the third quarter.
