Tigers Aerials Ineffective.
Nor was there any efficiency In the
forward passing of Princeton. Yale
made the deadline for every pass so

backs of the Orange and Black
eleven lived huddled existence. Be-

selves rubbing elbows with large and
unsociable crowds Of Yale men. And

Yale met the huddle device in a
manner not at all like that employed
by Harvard. Up at Cambridge the
Crimson forwards waited, each man

were being Matched, and again and

Yale Loses Fine Chance.
Yale lost a fine chance In the first
half to score on Princeton's very
doorstep. This excursion into the
Tiger territory began late in the first
period. when Dinsmore muffed Cot

line. Gill recovered for Yale. CottIe
made first down around left end,
and then a beautiful pass from Pond
