euomerged long. however. Joe
finally finds his voice:
well, Yale didn't win because
they were no good. Princeton is
champion all right. Well, that was
. good kick Smith made"
a His apparent wavering of faith
IN his future alma mater did not
last long.
sIf there had been a little more
time. Yale would have. won that
game. They had the ball on the 4.
yard line when 1t ended. didn't they?
II was pretty lucky for Princeton
that Princeton made that kick, but
u was a good kick"
IL Was Short Kick.
1t wasn't a long kick, only a few
yards 1t came in the third period
the Tigers Tipping 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 IL was made
"Aw. Yale will beat 'em by a lot
Of touchdowns: what's three points?
Wait till they put O'Hearn in there.
Three points don't mean anything" !"
Joe is a student at Browning
school in New York and knows
football. He can tell you the name
and ability Of everys player on the
Yale squad.
He never lost faith in that
ability until the late hours of the
afternoon.
There is nothing in all the world
IKE 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 IL was a forlorn' hope
Joe was hoping for a sort of
miracle that would turn the
heavens Yale blue for him once
more.
"Lookit the crowd running out
on the field when the game is not
over. 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"
1T 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. 1 guess that's a pretty
good team after all. 1 guess it is
And lots of other folks guess so,
too.
There's not as many cars
around here as you see at the Yale
Bowl" Joe criticized as we ap-
preached the gray walls of the
horseshoe-shaped stadium We
thought there We're, but Joe was
not convinced. We could see that
he was not going to give Prince
ton the best of it anywhere.
Yet he was most magnanimous

clapping his small hands politely.
He Got a Thrill.
We doubt if any person ever
got as great a thrill out of any in
cident as Joe did when the Yale
squad came on, horde of big
burly fellows in blue jerseys.
He even knew the Yale cheer,
"Brek-co-ek cock"
Then the kickoff, Baker to Scott.
We took look at Joe. His eyes
were as big as pie plates.
He let out one big veil and then
subsided and watched, breathing
hard as Princeton began a 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

Crum made that fumble-almost
disastrous to Princeton. Yale began

They are on the 1-yard line. -

Tiger at the threhold of the Orange

well. they got out of that
mighty lucky, didn't they?".
1t took some minutes for Joe tc
quite recover from that shock.
There goes Neidlinger. Look at
I'm 60" said Joe as the Yale men
noundered into the second period.
What's the matter with Yale?"
We inquired.
"Aw, l don't know whats the

disgust. "Jordan's going through
the line all the time. Oh! oh. Look

The first pass went from Cleaves
to Smith for short gain. Then
another shot from Cleaves to Ca,d-

field.
