- a. hard TO win AS that one be-
.ssss - although Yale couldn't score
Il "a ia unbeatable Tigers, there have
4 ssen few games in which one football
3 sisssa was as often and so seriously
Il ss,s.teued as Princeton was this af-
,srnsen and yet won the game.
In The matter of analysis Yale had

I'D mos' things as well if not better,

ems all year.
4 Breaks Did Not Decide Issue
i In to-day's tilt of Ro touchdowns /,
4 sssn't that the Nassau men got the
4 sresks that they won. No dispense
4 ions of good luck came to their aid
4 TsIe was not unlucky on the field to.
4 H. The Ellis had their bad luck be.
j s.e the game in having O'Hearn and
4 sillory on the injured list and in hav-
4 Il Wight, their best forward passer
4 q kicker, hurt at the eleventh hour
q 81 that was hard luck enough with
3 II. any further visitation to-day.
d 10, Yale did not suffer in that way
Il ihe actual grapple; in fact, Eli had
d Iaighty good break early in the fray,
4 il one of the best chances any team
i asr had to win game was frustrated
Princeton's superb defense on the
4 gsrd line; and later, in the fourth
Z srod, good chances to tie the game
field goal were frustrated by
lais's own mismanagement of plays
81 5ggned to put Eli in an advantageous
81 xstion for field goal.
Il The Princetonians had two great mo-
& rsats and rose to them. Yale had op-
& psunities even more alluring and did
81 III rise. So the Princeton victory was
a A.pgether deserved. Yale, in the first
B wiod, had the ball on Princeton's
"a i5afd line, and there the ball STAYED.
Il i that particular scrimmage the Tiger
81 Inc "licked" the Yale line. In that
& asnent the Tiger line rose to great
# nss, albeit, the game in its entirety
a snsdered, the Yale line was the bet
8 sr one and outplayed its opposites.
81 ihneeton had another big moment and
a uaIlt performed brilliantly. This op-
q ,artunity was the sequence of a poor
n ltkof by Scott, of Yale, at the be-
! rhaing Of the second half. The ball
vns only short distance and was
n IN back far enough toward the center
r. the field for the Tigers to be in a
4 yssion to make the most of several
a Tee flung runs.

b Yle's 9-yard line, or thereabouts,
n mA Aere Yale flung back Princeton as
n fAe latter were straw. Then Smith
4 hsssd an easy drop kick goal and won
n Ae game for the Orange and Black.
A Yale could have kicked goal just as
EASILY in the first period, and would
4 Lave had Ellie been blessed with super
II iuman foresight. No fault can be
n tsuna with Yale's judgment in trying
d taa touchdown at that particular first
A period moment, but what was poor
4 football by the Blue was wasting
H tasuces in the last period to kick for
Il goal when the situation was best for
4 that purpose. +
4 Yale had chance soon after the
H opening Kickoff to win the game. A
4 tumble by Crum gave the ball 30 Eli
\ on Princeton's 30-yard line, and Yale,
4 eilng double pass we'll, advanced to
\ ihe lryard line and there was held.
\ There was one of the big moments
\ q hercely fought, but not spectacu-
4 lar, game. Yale's poor kickoff in the
second half was another vital mo-
hent Princeton's wide running at
4 ,acs In the next few moments a third;
a Ialss threatening gestures toward
q nlnceton's goal in the fourth period
we're the fourth of the outstanding
3iestures of the battle.
It dld not take long to demonstrate
faat Yale had a better running game
Eaaa Princeton. There was more to
because it gained through the line
vel as around the ends Prince
'oas did not gain much through the
ene. Yale's line defense was better
