Tide Turns Against Tiger
From the start in this third period,
although favored by the wind, Prince
ton couldn't get going. The Yale de-
fense was breaking up every play. The
tide of battle turned against the Tigers
early in this period, when Charlie
O'Hearn, from forty-eight yards away,
kicked out of bounds on Princeton's
three-yard line. Caught in this death
trap, Lourie was forced to kick out of
danger. A moment later, on another
delayed pass from center, Aldrich ran
seventeen yards to Princeton's 2O-yard
line, and two plays later lifted his drop
by the sod upon the 30-yard line.
Yale was in the lead again, getting
stronger every play, with Nassau fac
ing forlorn hope. Through this third
quarter Princeton had not made first
down Of any sort. Her attack was
badly throttled by superior line play
and the fine work of Sturm and Hull
man. There was no opening of any
sort through which the Tiger could es-
cape from the big Blue cage built
around him. Yale was on her way from
the wilderness at last, and every Yale
man in the Bowl understood that only
a raw break of fortune could tear away
victory from the stronger machine,
Aldrich Scores Another Kick
The fourth period was hardly more
than a photograph of the third, with
Princeton making one lone, desperate
onslaught for thirty-five yards through
the Yale defense. When Aldrich, in
the wake Of another fine Yale drive,
had scored his second drop kick from
the. 15-yard line. only a touchdown
could now lift Princeton out of the
hole and give her the chance to break a
fifty-year record by beating Yale three
games in row.
But the Tiger now was the grogey
one, with three or four good men out,
as Yale up to the last few minutes
worked the same eleven that started
the game.
Princeton's last bold bid came with
only two minutes to play. Standing on
his own 10-yard line, Whoops Snively
threw fifty-yard pass far down the
field. Gilroy was waiting his chance
to be another Sam White. He was
waiting for the ball with an open field
beyond him and only Sturm, of Yale,
laundering along five yards away. Gill
ed again for glory, but the alert Sturm
was on top of him with a game-saving
tackle. AS they crashed together the
ball bounded out of Gilroy's hands and
Princeton's closing hope had passed.
The erratic dope had indicated that
Princeton's greater experience and the
impetus of her Harvard victory would
be too much for Yale to meet upon
even terms. But in place of this, Yale's
young team, with only two or three
veterans, had too much speed and
power for an opponent that lacked the
physical finish Of the week before. The
Yale line, after short lapse in the
second period, had the better of the
forward duel, while Aldrich, O'Hearn
| Jordan and Mallory proved to be a
stronger, faster backfeld than Lourie
Garrity, Gilroy and Cleaves.
