quarter Gehrke sent a high swinging
punt of fifty yards down the dazzling
sunlight to the Princeton backs, who
missed it and did not recover 1t until t
rad rolled almost to Princeton's goal
line.
Cleaves thus was forced to punt from
tehtnd his goal line and Buell. heeled
the ground for a fair catch. the fum-
tled punt thus putting Owen in posi-
ton TO score on the ensuing free kick.
Similarly on the twenty-sixth play In
the second quarter Cleaves drove d
high spiral down to Chaplin. who fum-
bled. Baker of Princeton recovered the
ball on Harvards 15 yard line, from
which in two plays Princeton ham
mered out its touchdown.
Again in the fifth play in the third
period Cleaves lifted another high Zig
tagging punt, this time down to Spauld-
ing and the latter. like Gehrke. fumble1

ADVANTAGE into a goal from the field
Harvard opened the battle with
terrific running attack which finally
Princeton stopped on its 80 yard line.
Thereafter the defensive play of both
teams became so impenetrable that both
elevens were forced to follow almost the
same identical battle plan. This con-
sisted OF one or two assaults against
their adversary's line. followed by an
attempt TO complete long forward pass
each team waging its battle safely by
punting before being confronted by the
final down. SO battling was the punting
by all of the kicking backs of the day
that their opponents frequently resorted
to fair catches to safeguard themselves
from fumbles.
Throughout the first period Harvard
controlled the offensive. During this
period Princeton was outrushed. out
passed, outpunted and In every way out
played. So pronounced was the dis
parity Of power and so lively was Har-
wards offense that Princeton seldom had
the ball and when II did its precarious
position invariably forced punt by way
OF extrication. Nevertheless, the orange
and Black during these trying fifteen
minutes broke through and tackled so
sharply that Harvard onE once was
enabled TO link together series Of first
downs and then only until II reached
the impossible Princeton 25 yard line.
The second qurter found Princeton
slowly but gradually gaining in offensive
strength, although the half closed with
the records showing that in tho two
periods Harvard had gained by running
attacks seventy-one yagds to Princetons
twenty-eight.
with the achievement Of the touch
down Princeton fairly burst forth in a
preponderance of strength. and from
that moment the Orange and Black was
the distinct master of the struggle In

kicks averaged not more than forty

recollcctions OF other Harvard Princeton
games the strategists expected TO sec

the ball on penalty. and the Ave re-

First Quarter.
Baker OF Princeton poised tho ball for

down the field 10 Gehrke. who. catching
the ball IN tho extreme northwest OF the
field. started diaRonally across the grid-
iron and, brilliantly lodging in and out,
covered forty-fivc yards before being
tackled by Baker. The Crimson there
upon put the ball down for what was
destined 10 be It's best drive OF the day,
although at the outset OF play.
