| PRINCETON, n. j., Nov. 13.-The
Princeton football eleven to-day pre-
scented an almost perfect combination
Of power, precision, speed and courage. !
| Yale possessed power, precision and |
| courage, but in comparison with |
Princeton, lacking speed and versa |
tility, went down in defeat. The score
! was Princeton, 20; Yale. 0. This |
luminous legend, which will take its
place in the long file Of Princeton
Yale footbalt battles, represents two
! touchdowns, two goals following |
touchdowns, and two goals from the
| field.
This score ranks as the second |
largest score ever achieved by Prince
ton over Yale, being four points less
than the memorable figures of 1886, /
and nine more than the equally |
memorable figures of 1899 and 1908, |
with which three games the score of !
! 1920 must be compared The score /
will be doubly gratifying to all follow
ers Of Princeton, because it was made
against a first class Yale team. The
decisiveness of the score, however, is
attributable to the individual super
brilliance of Princeton's players, CO.
ordinated into perfect team play. ex-
ecuting highly ingenious tactics, and
directed by superior generalship.
Princeton's first score came on the
first play in the second quarter. 1t was
a drop kick from the 20 yard line at
wide and difficult angle shot between
| the bars by f. l.. Murrey. The Tigers |
! second score occurred !on the last play |
! in the second quarter, the time actually
expiring while the ball was in flight. |
! This score was a touchdown by d. Il.
Lourie who from fake kick formation.
with flashing speed raced around Yale's
right nd-Dlworth-thirty-f yards
and crossed the goal line
The second touchdown was achieved
in the seventh play in the third quar-
ter and very appropriately is to be cred
tied to Callahan. the Tiger captain On
the fourth play in this quarter Scheerer
had lifted mighty punt of fifty yards.
| Yale fumbed and Callahan, leading his
forwards down the field, picked up the
ball on Yale's 20 yard line and with IT
raced over the three remaining stripes
| for n touchdown Keck in each instance
kicked the goal. The fourth and final
score was achieved by Princeton on the
thirty-seventh play in this same quar-
ter. Scheerer of Princeton had placed
a punt squarely on Yale's 1 yard line.
From behind the goal line the Blue
punted out thirty-five yards. Princeton
made fair catch and Keck from the
35 yard line sent a place kick squarely
! between the bars.
SIX Princeton Drives.
| Princeton during the day executed six !
| tremendous drives down the field, each !
piercing the Blues 20 yard line. Yale
in similar drives thrice reached Prince |
tons 20 yard line. and once the latter's
10 yard line Four of Princetons drives
were stemmed by Yale. but two resulted !
in touchdowns. Princeton, on the other |
| hand. not only presented an impregna-
BILE barrier to Yale within the Orange !
and Blacks 20 yard zone. but actually |
/ in two instances drove Yale backward by |
sharp tackles. On the third assault by
/ Yale inside of Princeton's 25 yard line |
n drop kick failed.
The all round superiority of Prince |
ton over Yale Is borne out by the de-
! tailed analysis in every department of /
| the play. Princeton during the after |
| noon executed a total of ninety-two Of |
! fersive plays. which carried the ball for |
4 ward from the Orange and Black the |
highly credtable distance, AS football |
games go, OF 1920 yards. Yale during |
! the battle launched seventy-sIx different |
attacks by which the standard Of the |
Black traversed r. total of 1907 yards
These luminous figures. therefore. indi-
cate that Princeton not only was largely |
the aggressor but that It's efforts pro-
duced the tremendous prepondeEance of /
2s3 yards
Princeton during the game made sew
enteen mlsplays for total loss of
! elghty-seven yards, of which fifty were
due to penalties. Yale made only nine
misplays, but these entailed n loss of
eighty-six yards, in which was a FUN
bled punt which lost Yale fifty yards,
and which. being recovered by the
mighty Callahan of Princeton. was In
stantly converted into a touchdown.

thirty-six for Yale--but the results of
these assaults present the amazing con-
trast OF 2O4 Yards for Princeton and
only 102 yards for Yale. Prince ton
launched eleven forward passes. OF which
only three succeeded. the trio yielding
forty-flve yards. Yale hurled eight for
ward passes, OF which three also sue

seventeen yards
