frsm saas sns,

che game Crum, of Princeton, had
fumbled on his own 82-yard line, and q
Yale man fell upon the mistake. Jor-
dan, Neale and Scott then got under
way for two first downs In succession,
rushing the bali 10 pYinceton's 1t-yard
line. With enough Blue racket rend-
ing the air to jar down concrete
bridge, big Jordan crashed through FOR
four yards more, Scott got three and
Neale then carried the ball on the third
down to Princeto1l's f-yard line with
q single Yateful opportunity left. On
this last play Yale discarded all decep-
sion, as Ncidlinger sent Jordan ham
mering away ut the Tiger line, which,
on this most vital occasion, refused to
yield one inch of precious soil. Jordan
struck with full force, only TO fall
huddled where he first went in, and IN
this magnificent display of defensive
strength the Tiger showed the quality
Of fighting he intended to do before
the day was over, before any hostile
invader penetrated the receeses of his
guarded jungle home. That mighty
stand upon the 1-yard line turned back
the tide of battle and took from Yale
the finest chance the Blue could ever
hope for later on. IL wac the shortest
putt for victory that either team had
where straightaway hammering mad too
much in front Of it TO break through.
There were more sensations 60 fol-
low, however, more Yaie~chances to lift
their heads like blue flowers above the
dark weeds later on. Shortly sitter
Ken Smiths successful drop kicking
gave Princeton her three points In the
third quarter Yale opened another
merry march with Neale and Jordan,
the two finest backs on the field, using
double passes and straight plunges for
crashing thrusts at the Tiger defense.
Second Big Drive Fails
Starting from the Blues forty-yard
line, Jordan and Neale together dashed
blithely along until they came TO
Princeton's thirty-Gve-yard line. Here
Neale again with fine speed slipped
through for eleven yards TO the Tigers
twenty-three yard line. This march
had come long, long way against a
still hard fighting Tiger defense that
for moment or so seemed TO be swept
completely off its feet by the fierce
ness and power Of the Yale drive. But
it came to sudden halt when Yale's
forward pass was nabbed by the ever
alert Caldwell, OF. Princeton's sixteen
yard line, and moment later, when
Neidlinger fuynbled Cleaves's punt
around midfleld with Treat diving 4of
the ball, all Yale's struggling effort
had again gone completely to waste.
This quick change left Yale with
final period at hand in which TO save
the day. Up to this point the Blue had
made ten first downs to Princeton's
five, but for all that Princeton had ali
the points and the salvage and the
swag were hers alone. Starting again
from their own 8$-yard line, Neale and
Jordan, matchless pair Of running
backs, started once more in lion
hearted, deer-footed fashion to recover
all this lost yardage which g tumble
and an intercepted pass had taken
away. They had given-away q world OF
stamina in this first onslaught, but
they were still ready for more A
reries Of first downs rushed the ball to
Princeton's 34-yaYd line which held
here, and Tad Jones sent In Charley
O'Hesrn to supplant Neidlinger in case
the occasion For drop kick fell due.
O'Hearn tried from the 35-yard line
but failed. Il was plain TO see that the
long aiege OF injuries had taken away
his old effectiveness, and this was even
more apparent when Princeton punted
and O'Hearn beyond midAeid called
for fair catch in lis dire extremity
for the Blue. He had evidently been
ordered to take no chances with his in
jured ankle and where, with good
start, he might have returned the bali
many needed yards, this chance had
to be thrown aside, for outside of
O'Hearn, with Ted Wight also Grip
pied, Yale had no drop kicker left.
After OfRearn's failure there was
