there for Princeton to do but try an
other field goal?
That would have been the conveIl
tional thing to do. But this Tiger team
has ideas of its own. Then a5ain II
knew IL was against q team no marvel
of acumen. Keck fell back for the place
kick. Lourie dropped to his knee to hold
the ball for him, the Yale team surged
for Keck with no thought of guile by
the enemy. and the next moment they
were startled to see Lourie hurting
around their right flank with big Keck
bowling over a man or two. Lourie ran
for touchdown.
The second touchdown came a few
moments after the beginning Of the
second half Scheerer. who sends capa-
tultic spirals sky high and miles distant,
lifted fine one and Murphy endeavored
TO catch 1t. He missed, the only time
he did during the day. and such was
the harsh treatment fate melted out to
him that his one miss was fatal Mike
Callahan made n clean pick UP after
several men had missed the ball in the
scramble and rollicked few yards more
to touchdown.
Keck kicked the Tigers into their last
batch of points. After fair catch on
Yale's 35 yard line he booted a neat field
goal, and after that Princeton had moth
ing to worry about--if such a state of
mind ever existed.
The truth is, however, that Princeton
had some uneasy moments. These were
before there was any scoring. The
Tigers had the ball nearly all through
the first half. but with a lot of indiscrim-
mate forward passes, which Yale for
the most part had well guarded, and
line plays, they fought In and out in
Yale territory, but made no pronounced
Roadway. 1t looked as if Yale was
playing n waiting game, kicking often
on the first down, and would turn on
something later. The trouble was Yale
hadn't much to turn on, or turning 1t on,
met with defence far too agile and dis
corning for the attack to keep going.
These same plays, strong against other
teams. were flung at a foe which was
of different mettle than anything the
Ellis had faced.
Yale's best work on offence was done
in the second period and In the fourth.
The Ellis made right vigorous finish
and were the aggressors in the last
quarter. In the second quarter they
obtained the ball on their ~ yard line,
when Murrey made n poor punt, OF
which he made more than one.
From there Yale circled and cleaved
the Tiger line and disclosed a most
promising assault. At the "a yard line
1t lost its effectiveness and died away
but it was snappy. hard hitting as
sault while it lasted.
II was all Princeton then until the
final period, and in the final period the
Tigers had only TO play II safe. Yale's
brace In the fourth quarter was right
spirited. though the security of Prince
tons defence again made the 20 yard
zone inviolate domain.
So ended n game In which Princeton's
skill in field goals. the timely revival
of m old ruse and one originated by
Yale, and the ceaseless keenness of
Princeton to take advantage of the other
sides errors enabled Princeton to win
easily.
Yale had a line far too strong for
Princeton to carry the ball over by con-
tinuous plays. Princeton was similarly
fixed They broke through each other
hard and often and toppled each other
for numerous losses. Princeton. how
ever, made much surer job of tackling
after getting through and within strik-
ing distance of the runner.
Each gained much ground between the
90 yard dimes the gains for both be-
tween 20 yard lines and goal lines were
practically nil. Yale had forward
pass but not an effective one, and made
the mistake of hammering too much at
Princeton's centre instead of going aloft
or running more from kick formation
Two consistently strong centre trios
were seen, Yale's really the better of
the two on defence. The Blue outplayed
the Orange and Black bit there. Young
