The best football of game In which
hss or high class offensive play
aas In only occasional spurts was by
srtsston just after an exceedingly
aalg tumble by Gehxke, of Harvard
10 the second qnartere Princeton had
pgntsd into Harvard territory, and
harvard had the ball. There wasn't
he slightest warning that Har-
Ygd was IN any danger, and
Harvard, playing a secure game Of
clean handling, would not have been.
But Harvard was much below the
Harvard standard in finish and depend
isIa handiwork and didn't handle the
ssiI elsaaly. Gehrke fumbled the pass
ron the quarterback, the ball seemed
$50 over his shoulder, and Princeton,
sgift in pursuit as is their wont in
saeh cases, was after it like three
bodied cat. Three Tigers were on top
dit and it was Prineeton's ball on
Hsryard's 10-yard line.
Ordinary Methods Fail
Now here is where Princeton's smart,
sharp being equipped for one-oppor-
unity football came in. The ordinary
