roy's greatest strength is in defensive
play, for while he isn't any deer he is
generally iii the neighborhood of any
impending attack He was in the right
PLACE at the right time for Buel's pass,
and as he took the ball out of the
windy atm osphere and raced along the
sioe,llnes ne had clear field until Nc
Comber caught him from behind. This
turned the situation upside down.
IN place of Farvard attacking in
frinceton territory, Princeton was now
planning an assault in Harvard terri
tory, ana when Lourie pr 7mptly COL
iected IL yards on the first play there
meant serious business. The two next
plays led up to Harvard's famous de-
tense of her gt% line. one of the big
spots of the day from the Crimson
viewpoint, for there are few forward
walls that can hold Hank Garrity's
crlvlng power in three straight plunges
with hardly more than stride to go.
Rare Play IS Upset
Harrvard's brace here put new life
| into her machine. She kicked out of
danger with the wind st her back, but
as the whistle had blown for the end
| e the third period she sas forced to
kick again into the wind from the
other end of . the field. 1t was here
mat one Of the queerest plays of the
game came up. The pass to Fits was
bad. He fumbled and in trying to rim
the ball out was thrown back of his
line. The Tiger stand was cheering
| over the safety when it was found that
| Princeton had been offside, 50 tie
safety didn't go, and $4,000 persons
were prevented from seeing one OF the
rarest plays of the modern game. Har-
verd was soon upon the offensive
the old forward pass com bination from
Buell. TO Fits was no longer working
/ with its early smoothness. Princeton
was breaking it up in far better shape
Owens's fine drop kick gave Harvard
/ the big bulge, but 7 went to seed when
the Tiger suddenly adopted his man
eating ways. ard Gilroy, of Haverhill,
decided it was time to run an.uck again
on his long trek across the field. It
was one of the queer pranhs of fate
tt at the longest runs of the day fell to
! the lot OF a backfeld star who had
earned all his glory as defensive won
der, leaving Garrity and Lourie the ap-
plause that comes from carrying the
ball. Giiroy isn't as fast as either Of his
| mates, but his alerrness to-day left him
in the right place, and in his second
! chance he ran with greater speed than
he had ever shown. His team was be-
hind him, and fare 0. desper rate cour.
age added swiftness to his normal gait,
and SO brought victory from defeat.
Rewarded for Long Wait
stirring dash o. sixty-fve yards Prince
have broken the two-year tie and fol-
lowed up Sam Whites victory over
Harvard ten years ago. Ten years a
long. long time to wait, but the della.
was we'll worth while to Princeton men,
as Gilroy finally left his last Harvard
tackler behind and passed across the
line.
The two lines, as far as one co,,d
Judge. lad an even battle through out
day were George Owen and Ralph Gil
roy. Owen vas an unending menace,
driving force tAat refused to bn
checked as he continued to hammer
his way forward. He was eqra.ly nne
III defensive play, giving one Of tNose
great two-man power exhibitions that
only an outstanding star can offer.
[ ed win owen is the name of
Ralph Gilroy, who continued his great
contributed the one big offensive y av
of the afternoon. wien re worked his
way for more than half the length OF
tae field, where at any moment it
looked as if he might be spilled. He
carried unusually strong interference
in this dash, but hi sown headwork III
kirting the lines and then working
his way out of threatened danger was
no small factor in tie 6nal turn.
Buell. and Tltrs Star
For Harvard, the passing game OF
Buell. and Fits, as we'll as their ALL
round play, was something we'll worth
the trip to Princeton, which so many
thousands took in spite of the whistling
out. Coupled with these are Garrity,
Cleaves and Lonrie. although the lat
ter was not quite UP to his top form
fur natural causes that come from any
such absence as he has known.
The kicking upon both sides was ex-
ceedingly good in spite OF the fact that
various tempts at goal for the first
three quarters we're very poor The
outstanding Princeton feature was that
Princeton kept eleven men on the field
throughout the game, and these eleven
finis. ed keen and strong, as if just
warm ing up to the work at hand.
Su,, condition is great tribute to
the Roper-F Fitzpatrick combination for
the game. while clean, was bitterly
fought throughout with few moments
of rest from trouble. The play Of Nc
Comber, Crccker, Stinson and Snively

Tiger in Whirlwind Rally
Princeton won because at the finish
the Tiger had more stuff in reserve
than Harvard had and was better fixed
for whirlwind rally. Gilroy's lorg
run would never have come off without
perfect interference. When the big
moment came to strike the Tiger ma
chine had enough men ready and wait
ing to carry out great play which
no team in depressed frame OF mind
could have carried through.
Harvard's field goal advantage had
failedgto break down Nassau's spirit or
stop her hard fighting to the end of
things. 1t was this great firi h'~g
spirit which brought about the big
Tiger snake dance up and down the
field, the first one with silent Har
