opposite end.
The Yale team lived to regret the
incident exceedingly. Beattie 10
about as graceful as a sacred OK,
and just as forceful. Swinging
wide in an ambling gallop, his inter-
ference blazed the trail beyond the
young man to his own devices.
These were emphatic, if not pretty.
Ten yards down the field he
was challenged by Jordan. A
straight arm that was more like a
poke from a mallet Influenced the
Yale captain to sit right down and
think il over. Some fifteen yards
further on. Neale stepped along to
be run down and over as though
he didn't exist.
Finally, in desperation, It was
Neidlinger, the last defender, who
rose to the emergency and forced
Beattie to step out of bounds on
the 12-yard line after a run Of
thirty-four yards, the longest run
of the game. The Princeton stands
were clamoring for a touchdown,
but ii was not to be.
FIELD GOAL COMES SOON.
Beattie tried the line. Nothing
stirring. Caldwell sought to do
business with the right end after
a double pass from Gormsl and
Cleaves. Two yards only. Cleaves
essayed a dash around left end for
purposes of strategy which called
for Princeton to get the ball in
front of the goal posts.
This done, the team lined up and
the biggest field goal of the East
tern district was kicked for the
smallest distance. the effort being
negotiated from the 15-yard line.
A youth by the prosaic name Of
Smith made the winning points. but
that was a mere nothing. His name
only an incident. What was one
child of fortune among so many?
The surprising thing about the
Princeton victory, as ever, was the
fact that the Tigers were outplayed
to the last sour statistic, the only
exception being the more or loss
important figures on the score
board.
Between it's own 20-yard line and
Princeton's 35-yard line, Yale was
a team of rampaging fools. who
tole the Princeton line to human
shreds. It had an irresistible run

inept, impotent, almost foolish In
it's attempts to advance the ball.
Yale Looked Good.
In the matter Of first down. Yale
outscored Princeton by mere mat
ter of 13 to s, to say nothing Of un-
told ground in actual yardage.
But 1t was like a great, shaggy
buffalo, beseiged and beset by a
cunning wolf. 1t was an unequal
struggle from the standpoint of
finesse and strategy, for Yale had
the Drawn and not the initiative,
and its expected show of modern
football methods failed to material
ize. The& Blue even went so far
as to exhume that extinct weapon
known as the lateral pass, the
collapse of which gave Princeton
a victory several years ago.
The Bull Dog, however. did not
lack for opportunity. Indeed, the
game was less than five minutes
under way when Deaver recovered
tumble by Cieaves on Princeton's
| 35.yard line, and a few moments
later Yale was knocking at the
front door of an impending touch
down.
The ball was on the 1-yard line
with another down to go when
Jordan was thrust into the center
of the line without gain and Yale's
big moment was gone beyond re-
call.
