faced by determined defense
to drop kick the three points v
ton and defeat for Yale.
Glorious Climax for Princeton.
1t was n glorious climax to a
glorious season for Princeton. n sea-
son in which green team was car
rled through ali manner OF trials
and tribulations on the strength Of
its'own purpose. The defeat Of Yale
was only one of many scored by
Princeton this year. others being
scored over Chicago and Harvard,
while not an opponent was able to
reverse the verdict against the
Tigers. Princeton has been called a
team OF destiny and In view OF what
II did today against Yale, no other
term could adequately describe II.
Outplayed. though II may have
been in the matter OF yards gained
from scrimmage. IL turned on It's
rival whom threatened and COM
pleteiy smothered the Yale attack
at all critical moments
Yaic's Chance Came Early.
Aa early as the first five minutes
OF the game, Yale faced its big mo-
ment. running with The ball deep In
his own territory. Cleaves fumbled
on his own 3b-yard line and when
Denver recovered the ball for Yale
II looked as though Princeton's ca
pacity for running n loose bail to
earth was about to turn against H..
In quick succession. Neale, Jordan
aud Scott reeled off successive first
downs, bringing the ball TO the w.
ward line. However, on the fourth
down Yale was still one yard from
the goal and II is matter OF record
that It remained there, for Jordan
smashing into the center OF the line:
found three llneal descendants OF
Stonewali Jackson awaiting him
and the ball changsG hands.
O'Hcnrne Fails To Tie Score.
Late In the game Yale had sew
eral opportunities to score but could
not take advantage of them and the
celebrated Charley O'Hearne was
rushed into the game In the fourth
period and proceeded to essay four
field goals, none of which succeeded,
Two of them were attempted from
as far back as the 55-yard line. Tho
last OF these gave the Princeton
stands a bad attack of chills and
fever as the bali winged Its way
toward the distant goal and Mt tho
last moment barely dropped under
meath the crossbar.
Another Princeton Hero.
The name OF Kenneth Smith, the
Tigers right end. who drop kicked
the field goal that let Princeton win,
viii go down In Prlnceton's plgskln
history with those of the famous
Poes, John Dewitt, Sam white, and
others, who with sterling gridiron
seeds, have scored winning points
for their alma mater
All season Princeton coaches have
been drilling Smith IN the art OF
drop Kicking ag some years ago
Harvard developed Charley Brtkley.
Today their task brought ample re
ward. The Newark lad, scarcely out
of his teens, standing on Yale's Is
yard line, calmly lifted the BAH over
the goal bar, and this feat, not par
ticularly impressive at the time,
spelled victory In huge letters late In
tho twilight when the rival teams
left the field without further scor-
ing.
The story OF the play which gave
princeton another victory In the ser
les which reached the forty-slxth
game today, can be told In few
words.
The Winning Play.
Following an exchange OF punts,
Princeton received the ban near
mid-field. on the first lineup, the
Tiger crossed the Bulldog with a
forward pass thrown by Cleaves and
caught by Treat for an ll-yard gam
on the next lineup, Cleaves sprinted
and side-stepped his way through
Yale's left wing between tackle and
guard for a seven-yard gain Beatue,
10 IaV na4lF
dashed around Yale's right end, 20
the ELS i3-yard line. Caldwell
gained four yards on triple pass
and here Princoton's offense was
checked. Yale's powerful line
refused 10 yield another inch
and after two attempts 70 pass.
Smiths signal for drop
kick was called. Standing within
easy distance Of his detectives. and
the Princeton line holding the saw
age Yale chargers Ike a stone wall,
he calmly dropped the ban - nc
ground and booted 1t on the rebound
neatly and completely over the bar
for a field goal, which ultimately
won the game.
The feat In Itself was nothing eX-
traordinary from a football stand
point IL rounded out and Complct-
ed, however, one of the most re-

the Tigers grid!Tun clcyeus, 1t add

Oldest and dearest rival as the eli

which both the University OF Chicago
and Harvard bowed In defeat before
Nassau's great combination,
Teams Lack Punch.
Considered as a whole, the teams
appeared more or less evenly
matched and each seemed 20 lack
the finishing punch TO put over
scores when opportunities and tx-
cellent plays had brought the ball
well within the scoring zone.
