Princeton's team Of destiny tricked

just the margin Of one field goal. Ken
Smith kicked this goal from the ID
yard line after tho second half had
gone only few minutes.
The field goal was merely anal
gesture. What really won for the
Tigers vas thirty-four yard run
made by Bob Beattie second string
man who was sent into replace Crurn,
the regular halfback. He tore through
the entire mass OF blue perseys from
near midheld to tho Yale lS yard line,
haulin gand hurting to one side the
secondary defense with stiH jolts from
a strong right arm.
Beattie ia a sophomore. who learned
the rudiments OF the game at tho
Manual Training High School in New
York city. He stands SIX feet two
without his football cleats and was
regarded as q coming line plunger
rather than a runner. But It was the
speed rather than the bulk Of this
young giant in black that paved the
way for the celebration that is going
on at Princeton tonight.

where the secondary defense rushed af
him. Twisting and whirling. he swept
inside then, seeing the way clear. shot
ahead directly for the Yale goal. Bench
flung himself at him. but Beatte
thrust his powerful arm out. and Bench
rolled spinning on his shoulder from
the force of the Jolt. This was the last
barrier. and Beattie ran straight for
the goal line. But then came Neidlin-
ger. the Yale quarter. cutting across
the field and fofced him out OF bounds
on tho Bulldogs thirteen yard line.
Here the blue jerseys presented an
impenetra bic wall, and on the fourth
down Smith dropped back for the drop
kick. The ball cleared the bar easily.

that Princeton vas playing mainly
defensive game. Yet this Orange ana
Black paradox has gone undefeatea
through this season and. for the frst
time since 1911 a Princeton team mas

your correspondent II seems about time
10 admit that Princeton has Won most
OF tho victories through It's own merlts
rather than through the defects OF ts
adversaries.
To amend the napoleonic epigran re-
earding the deity and the artillery IL
might be said that destiny usually SIDES
