Teams Evenly Matched.
Considered as whole. the teams
appeared more or less evenly matched,
and each seemed TO lack the RnishInE
punch to put over scores when on

brought the ball we'll within the
scoring zone.
Outstanding In Princcton's defen-
sive play was the brilliant work OF
tackles Treat and Baker, Captain
Dickinson at guard and Gray at end.
Treat especially shone on the defen-
sive, several times breaking through
the Vale line to throw the runners
for hiy losses. He also was on the
receiving end of Princeton's most
brilliant aerial play, receiving n pass
from Clcavcs for. gain of twenty
five yards.
Failure to sustain its running at
tack cost Yale its golden opportun-
lily in the first period. This lack OF
punch also was sadly lacking In the
second half. when the Blue had at
least two good chances TO score. Yale
had no effective aerial game 10 fall

defense smashed Its rushing tactics.
