to the Maroon's goal. But here Stages
men began fighting fercely An ex-

Princeton's 26 yard line. Here the

resting on the side lines. but at this
time a hurried call was sent for him.
Zorn got six yards. Thomas got three

Now in this proper order we come to
the fourth period. which was one of
the most thrilling in all modern foot
ball history. Before 1t was over the
spectators were weak and worn out.
This was a period to talk about for
years to come. Pyott, the feet Chicago
halfback, tore around Princeton's right
end for eighteen yards. The Maroons

own A yard line Chicago kicked to
Princeton's 10 yard line, and here the
Tigers, who all day were the ones to
try spectacular stuff, pulled a play
which IL 1t had gone right might have
been a wonder. The man who caught
the ball attempted to make long lat
eral pass to Cleaves, but Cleaves started
too soon, and the ball was passed for
ward. The result was that instead of
having the ball in midfield the penalty
put Princeton on its / yard line.
1t has always been the theory that 1t
was the West which went in for the
spectacular and unexpected. and the
East which stuck 10 the conservative.
but right here Bill Roper's pupils pulled
a play that was astounding in its audac-
ity. Once more they got away with it..
Princeton started a forward pass from
behind It's own goal line. and German,

yards for a touchdown. Smith kicked
goal and the score was Chicago Is, ana

The Tiger stand was in an uproar.
One more touchdown would win for
Princeton. After receiving the KICKOFF
Chicago punted. 1t was the Tigers ball
on their own 43 yard line. A forwari
pass was thrown by Snively to Smith

yard line. penalty for delay was
called on Chicago. and another for hold

Now they had to give all they knew.
and they did by a series of forward
passes. errupted only by two rushing
plaSs, they took the ball from their
3S yard line to the Tigers s yard line.
The last pass was beautiful one, which
covered twenty-three yards. Again
Thomas hurled himself against the
Princeton wall. but this time II gave
ground slowly. with the ball on Prince

single down left and the fate of the
game in the balance the excitement was
beyond belief. The Chicago stands were
