Greatest Play LEper Saw

whistle to the last. both teams fought
magnilcently and for a long time IT
looked as II Yale would have the
better of the argument.
Early in the game we took the
lead. when Bosey Reiter, on a series
of end runs for the most part. scored
touchdown. But just a little later
Mcbride blocked kick and scored
against us. making the tally to 5:
Then Sharpe came along and kicked
beautiful field goal. putting Yale
out in front to the tune of 10 to 8.
All of this happened in the first half.
In the second half both teams kept
up the fight at rate which made
the game spectacular at all times:
One by one our first team succumbed
to injuries Of one kind or another
until only three regulars were left
in the lineup, these being Poe. Peel
and myself. But our substitutes
fought with rare heroism and skill.
As result we held Yale without
further scoring. Yet we could not
seem to get the ball down field our
selves.
Finally with just q short time to
play one Of the Yale men fumbled
the ball and Roper. now head coach
at Princeton, fell on 1t. Here was
our chance, though we had nearly
40 yards to 20. We smashed at the
Yale defense with tremendous power
and in a few plays managed to get
the ball to their 25-yard line. Here
l was informed that we had less than
a minute to play. I knew we had
to do something desperate II we hoped
to win.
Then Arthur Poe came over and
offered to kick a field goal. Arthur
had never kicked a goal and had
never practiced such work. but ne
was such O. remarkable player that
I readily consented to the attempt.
With only q few seconds left we
lined up. I was terribly nervous and
remembered grasping our center by
his legs to stop any charge by Yale.
Bannard was our center and he made
a fine pass to Poe. The latter drop
ped the ball and booted 1t just as
the Yale charge began to get through.
1t seemed to me that the ball remain
ed in the air many minutes, but final
ly II passed between the goal posts
and over the bar for a 11.to.10 lead.
Only 80 seconds remained OF the
game and Yale was unable to do any
thing in that time. SO we returned
to Princeton with glory for the Tiger,
due to the wonderful manner in which
the inexperienced kicker Arthur Poe
responded to the last second call on
his resources.
