Princeton won because they out.
guessed their opponents. Harvard
was watching Lourie all afternoon
and thinking of no one else. AS a
result, the brainy Princeton quarter
back crossed them and won the game,
though he seldom ran with the ball
himself
Whenever the Princeton team would
take a passing formation, the cry
would go up from the Harvard back
field to watch Lourie, with very little
attention TO the ends and the other
backs. -
At the very start of the game three
Harvard backs chased Lourie to the
side lines, while Snively threw n
beautiful forward pass to Ed Stinson
which would have been a score. except
for the fact that Stinson hit the goal
post as he fell across the line. The
impact of the collision knocked the
ball from his hands
Buell. Made Mistake.
Harvard had a good team and
played football. / think Buell. made
the mistake, however, OF OVERRIDING
Z the forward pass and as a result, fiur'
wards strongest offensive weapon De
came the weakest as the game pro-
gressed. Buell. completed good many
passes in his own territory but as
each minute of the game went on
the Princeton backs and Al Wittmer
diagnosed the play with more cer'
tainty.
Before the game was half over Buell.
had tried every imaginable combina-
tion and the Princeton backs, when
Harvard would take a kick formation
were pretty sure what was coming.
The tide Of the game really turned
when Gilroy intercepted Harvard
pass In the third quarter and ran 10
The 25-yard line.
From this point Harvard lost con-
fidence in their forward passing
attack and had niue OF no.nins "a
fall back on. The Princeton backfield
from then on played with even more
certainty, and if Harvard competed
any passes the receiver was down In
his tracks. l looked for Princeton
score late in the third quarter ana
must congratulate Harvard on its won
derful stand on the 3-yard line.
Did the Expected.
Harvard's chance to win the game
came a few minutes later when Bue'i
made a fair catch on his own 55-yard
line. 1t looked like an impossiple
kick against the wind when he electeo

fore the play was made.
was very fearful of an on-side
Kick. as the whole Harvard line was on
side. The Harvard kicker did just
what 7 thought he would do, and sent
the ball about thirty yards down the
field to the left with the whole Har.
ward team charging in the direction OIL
the ball.
II looked as if the kick was going
out of bounds, but 1t bumped arouhu
three or four Yards from the sidelines
and was recovered by a man on the
extreme left of the Harvard line. A

ting his team in the LEAD with eAa'tiy
seven minutes to play.
1t was right here that the Princeton
eleven showed it's magnificent grit ana
determinati ton. Everything had gone
against them, as far as the breaks Oh
the game are concerned. They had
lost a touchdown in the first six min
utes of play: they had been held on
the 3.yard line in the third quarter.
These two reverses would have been
enough to have shattered the conf
dence of nearly any combination in
the country, but the Princeton team
never faltered or wavered.
Keck Acts Wisely.
Captain Keck wisely elected to re-
ceive the kick off. Jack Cleares
brought the ball past the 40-yard line,
and minute afterward "WhoopS
Snlvely shot forward pass into Gilt
rows hands. Gill is a fast runner, but
] have never seen him run as he aid
when he caught that ball, and | don Z
believe he will ever run that waV
again.
The Harvard backfield was tearing
down the field after Lourie until they
sensed the play. They were too late,
however, to recover themselves. Two
or three Princeton men took out any
Harvard men who had chance TO
TACKLE him, and Gilroy raced sixty
Yards for touchdown in the most
spectacular play of the game.
After the touchdown, Princeton was
coming faster and harder than at any
time during the game. The Harvard
coaches rushed Churchhill into the
play in an eleventh.hour attempt to
pull out the game, but the Tigers
played him safe on every play. Shortly
afterward Hawk" Garrity made a
fair catch on Harvard's 42-yard line.
Stan keCk is always sure of coal
from placement inside the 45.yard line,
and he didn't disappoint my expeota-
tions. Keene Fitzpatrick turned to me
