g, The spirit of youth never remains
submerged long, however. Joe
unally finds his voice:
well, Yale didn't win because
tney were no good. Princeton is
champion all right. Well, that was
good kick Smith made"
HIS apparent wavering OF faith
IN his future alma mater did not
last long.
EFF there had been little more
time. Yale would have won that
same. They had the ball on the A.
yard line when II ended didn't they?
Il was pretty lucky for Princeton
that Princeton made that kick. but
u was a good kick"
- 1t Was Short Kick.
1t wasn't a long kick, only a few
yards. 1t came in the third period,
the Tigers flipping the ball into the
position so fatal to Yale by forward
passes.
Our young assistant reporter. Joe
Moore. didn't think that kick would
amount to much when it was made.
Jaw. Yale will beat 'em by lot
Of touchdowns; what's three points?
Wait till they put O'Hearn in there.
Three points don't mean anything"
.aJoe is a student at Browning
III ANC" any hiio"o
football. He can tell you the name
and ability Of every player on the
Yale squad.
rrHe never lost faith in that
ability until the, late hours of the
afternoon.
There is nothing in all the world
Hike the faith of a small boy. Joe's
faith was greater than the faith
Of all the Yale grown-ups as the
evening shadows came on, because
the grown-ups had come to realize
by then that 1t was a forlorn hope.
Joe was hoping for a sort of
heavens Yale blue for him once
more.
''Lookit the crowd running out
on the field when the game is not
oyer. That's what happened at
Harvard. You can't tell, Yale may
DO something yet"
No voice was shriller than Joe's
during the last-minute shove of
the Bull Dog, but the miracle
didn't occur. Miracles rarely do.
"WiIl Beat Harvard"
TT certainly was a great thing
for Princeton that Smith made
that field goal. Well, anyway, Yale
will beat, Harvard. My, those
Princeton fellows are happy"
A slight sigh that swallowed a
world of disappointment.
"Well, l guess that's a pretty
GOOD team after all. I guess it is"
And lots of other folks guess so,
"There's snot as many cars
around here as you see at the Yale
Bowl" Joe criticized as we ap-
1IS Of hn
horseshoe.shaped stadium. We
thought there were, but Joe was
not convinced. We could see that
ne was not going to give Prince
ton the best of 1t anywhere.
Yet he was most magnanimous
IN his applause when Princeton's
squad trotted out on the field,
clapping his small hands politely.
He Got a Thrill.
1--WE doubt IL any person ever
rot as great thrill out of any in.
cident as Joe did when the Yale
snuad came on, a horde of big
burly fellows in blue jerseys.
He even knew the Yale cheer,
"Brek co elk cock"
Then the kickoff Baker to Scott
We took a look at Joe. His eyes
were as big as pie plates.
He let out one big yell and then
subsidized and watched, breathing
hard as Princeton began march
down the field. Suddenly his voice
was again a small part of a wild
uproar on the Yale side.
"Oh, oh, oh, a tumble. beavers
cot It,"
Crum made that fumble-almost
disastrous to Princeton. Yale began
Z push for the Princeton posts.
n"They are on the 1.yard line,"
said Joe breathlessly. Its a sure
touchdown. They will sure make
Tiger Checks Yale.
Joe fell back in his seat with
the fall of Yale's next assault,
checked by a mighty stand by the
Tiger at the threhoid Of the Orange
And Black goal. Joe Remarked:
~l"well, they got out of that
nighty lucky, didn't they?"
eft took some minutes for Joe to
cutie recover from that shock
"There goes Neidlinger. Look at
Nm CO." said Joe as the Yale men
f1oundered into the second period
k.pwhat's the matter with Yale?"
we inquired.
Jaw, i don't Know what's the
matter with them" Joe replied, in
disgust. "Jordan's going through
the line all the time. OH oh! Look
II I'm now. That's Jordan. Aw,
first half's over. Amt that toughY"
Speech not taught at Browning
crept into Joe's language as big
Jordan tore through for sixteen
yards, ducking and lodging, only
