New-York tribune., 1919-11-16

Yale Callahan was in greater number
of plays, but so far as the center play
went there was little to choose
The one man who loomed above the
field to-day was Maury Trimble, the
ever-elusive Tiger back. 1t was Trim
ble's mighty punting-those long, twist
ing spirals with and against the wind
that kept the Blue fighting defensive
fight so much of the day. 1t was
Trimble's fake end runs that gained
much valuable ground from time to
time. 1t was Trimble's accurate for
ward passing that kept the Yale defense
worried, and after this it was Trimble
who intercepted the long Yale pass in
from dangerous soil. On top of all
this it was Trimble, again, who, fol-
lowing the ball, bumped Kempton out
of the play when Scheerer recovered
the lateral pass.
For all-around effectiveness, both
upon attack and defense, Trimble gave
an exhibition that has been rarely
equaled. His work was magnificent at
all times, the outstanding feature
that gave the crowd of $4,000 souls the
majority of their thrills.
Play Old-Fashioned Game
For Yale the play of Braden was the
crowning achievement. This burly
back tore into the line with the We
hemence of an enraged buffalo. He was
Yale's greatest ground-gainer, her
hardest worker, and when the Yale
attack was stopped in Tiger territory
it was Braden's toe that scored all six
points.
For the first three-quarters the battle
was singuarly soggy, insipid and un-
inspired. The only modern football
shown was produced by Princeton.
One might have been looking into
Yale team from 1896, so far as any
modern m display was concerned. Whether
Yale did not have the plays, or whether
Yale had them and refused to use them.
is beside the question. The cold and
callous fact is Yale used very httle
beyond the oldfashioned battering ram
stuff that is all very we'll at mid
iield, but of no possible use against q
formidable opponent in the scoring
zone.
Yale looked as Harvard looked until
Eddie Casey ran amuck in the fourth
quarter week ago, big, slow,
Houndering eleven in any open field
work or in any work that called for
Casey to rally her bewildered people
and save the day. When Braden was
stopped Yale was through, in spite of
her big, powerful line and her husky
looking backs
Kempton failed to gain any ground
to speak of. He had the fatal fault of
delaying his drive or else circling
backward, where on one play Bigler, Of
Princeton, dived five feet in a spec
tacular tackle to throw him heavily for
loss.
Peculiar Play Beats Eli
The play that beat Yale was
peculiar one. Starting from her own
territory the Blue swung into attack.
Neville took the ball in both hands
and began swinging it from side to
side, thereby tipping off pass. At
one time he had chance to break
through for a neat gain, but he con-
tinued to swing wide until he was
l tackled. At this point he chucked the
ball in the general direction of Kemp
ton, who was waiting for the pass
The ball struck in back of Kempton,
who was promptly bowled over by
Trlmble as Scheerer dashed through
picked up the oval and strolled on
across the line.
Yale had great chance to score in
the third quarter when Walker blocked
Trim ble's punt and Reinhardt fell on
the ball on Princeton's 17-yard line
But even here Yale. with the Tiger
attack fighting hard. had no plan of
battle to advance the ball beyond
Braden's bull-like rushes.
This game should go down as one
of the greatest victories that Prince
ton has ever won, for it was victory
of brain over Drawn, the victory of q
lighter, faster, better coached team
over one that had the margin in physi-
cal power but had nothing else.
Dickens, the big Yale tackle, played
extremely we'll. There were other Yale
individuals who tackled fercely and
with effect, but as machine of the
modern vintage Yale simply didn't be-
long.

College won. 1t is easier to see to.

afternoon.
The Tiger line deserves great credit
And one will have to go quite way
to find better attacking combination
