boxed in and eluding the last TIGER
tackler. the star Yale quarter was
across the line before Princeton
knew the game was fully under
way.
This SCATTERING attack upon the
Tiger defense left the Orange and
Black sector silent and dazed as
the Blue. now looking for an old
fashioned romp. But Princeton's
veteran team had no thought of
giving in so quickly. A poor kick
by O'Hearn gave Princeton the
ball on Yale's 3S-yard line as the
first period closed. and when the
second period started, Bill Roper's
team was ready for its chance. \
forty-yard forward pass from
Snively 10 Lourie and a series of
line plays by Cleaves and Clarity
soon put the ball on Yale's 6-yard
line. II was here that Princeton
made her first big mistake in gen.
eralship. There were two downs
left, with two yards to-go for a
first down. And the Yale goal
only six yards away.
Princeton Loses Chance.
But in place Of driving away for
those two yards and a first down on
Yale's 4-yard line, that, or using
short pass. Princeton called on Snive'
ly for a ling pass over the goal
line, and the sailing bail fell far

to the 20-yard line, ran two plays
and then kicked. That forward pass

But this sudden upset at least paved
the way for Nassau to show her
dauntless courage. In place OF cas-
ing. down the Tiger went to work
again, and once more her fine pass

ball. put her in scoring distance. FL

Now the dope was In a snarl
again. Princeton, for a moment,
had been outclassed and now
Princeton had made two long
marches across the field. resulting
in a tie score. Snively's magni-
ficient passing had been a big fea-
ture Of this attack, and as the first
half ended, it was still nip and tuck
between the two teams, as evenly
matched as one could ever hope to
see.
Between halves Marshal Foch
crossed the field, leaving the Blue
for the Orange and Black. At that
moment no one thought to tell him
about IL, but he was leaving the
winning sector to sit among the
beaten. Again the highly pleased
marshal responded to the welcome
cheering with his best official sa-
lutes. and again turned his attention
back to the field
