out Of gear. and the Harvard chorus
was bowling the names of Owen,
Buell. and Fits in a thunder Of &C.
claim.
Princeton men once more began
to wear a worried, harrassed look
as the charging Owen ripped off I5
yards in two plays and drove his
way forward for another first down
only 6 yards from the Tiger line.
But on this play he was tackled
and thrown with such heavy force
by Wittmer that he was forced to
seek the resting shelter Of the side
lines as Jenkins took his place. Har-
ward was now threatening in dead
earnest. The Crimson attack had
shown its power to crunch and crack
through the Tiger line, and with
only 6 yards to go the Harvard
outlook was as bright as its big
standard over the field catching the
light of the sun. With a great
chance in sight, Fits fumbled as
Hooper nailed him, and with the
yard loss which followed this play
only the forward pass route was
left. Keck half blocked the first
shot, and the next one over the line
failed to find a receiver.
Tigers Do Most Rushing.
For the remainder of the first half
the battle moved along on even
terms. Princeton did most of the
rushing with 100 yards gained
against IS. but Harvard more than
onset this advantage with seven
completed passes for a total gain
OF IS yards against ~ for Princeton.
All this, while one had the idea in
mind that while Princeton\was po-
tentially the stronger, betteS team,
Harvard was playing slightly more
effectivet ball, due, in the main, to
the rare skill of Buell. and Fits at
the passing game. Lourie was find-
ing 1t nard to get started. the Icing
layoff had affected his old-time form
Here and there he swept along
with flashes of his best work, but
he lacked the consistency Of Gar
rity and Cleaves. He was kicking
beautifully, but his running game
was not getting expected results.
GiIroy Intercepts Pass.
when the third period opened
Harvard had the gale at her back
Her outlook was bright early in
the period until Ralph Gilroy, the
noted son of Haverhill. Mass. a
graduate of Exeter. decided that
Fits had caught a sufficient nub-
Der of Buell's passes. Gilroy's great
est strength is In defensive play.
For, while he isn't any deer. he Is
generally in the neighborhood OF
any impending attack He was In
the right place at the right time for
Buell's pass and, as he took the ball
out of the windy atmosphere and
raced along the sfdelines he had a
clear field until McComber caught
him from behind.
This. turned the situation upside
down. In place of Harvard attack
ing in Princeton territory. Princeton
was now planning an assault In Har-
ward territory, and when Lourie
promptly collected eleven yards Oh the
first play, there was no question but
that Princeton meant serious BUSH
ness. The next two plays led up
TO Harvard's famous defense of her
goal line, one Of the big spots OF
the day from the Crimson view
point. for there are few forward walls
that can hold Hank Garrity's driv-
ing power In three straight plunges
with hardly more than a stride to
go. Harvard's brace here put new
life back into her machine; she kick
ed out OF danger with the wind at
her back. but as the whistle had
blown for the end Of the third Pc
Rod, she was forced to kick again
into the wind from the other end
Of the field.

1t was here that one OF the queer
est plays of >the game came up.
