n VIEW HAVEN, November 10
Princeton still is certain tonight
that Albie Booth played In the
4 game today and carved away
what remained of the Tiger
hide Princeton believes that Yaie
trainers added 10 pounds or so to Able
Booth and then changed his name TO
Donald r. McLennan, jr., OF HotchKHs
and Lake Forest, Ill.
Princeton may be right or wrong, but
while SO, 900 spectators were hoping tnlS
afternoon that Booth, the dancing der
wish of foot ball, would step upon the
field and break the deadlock as the
second half opened, McLennan went 10
work and ran right over the Tiger team
in wild and reckless fashion that not
even the brilliant Booth could have I'M
proved upon. When McLennan. who Is
Booths second substitute, got through
running up and down the field. Yale
had beaten Princeton. 10 to 0, and had
later on taken the ball to Prlncetons
1-foot line before the attack was
blocked.
This substitute quarterback was bolt
from the blue that scattered Tiger hair
In all directions. He ran the Tiger ends,
he broke through the stout Tiger line,
he rsIIoped over some Tiger tacklers
and lodged or twisted his way by others
who attempted to impede his path.
Booth Confined to Bench.
It so happens that Booth sat on the
side lines with q charley-horse stabbed
In his thigh and never put his foot upon
the field. But in Young Don McLennan
he saw a substitute who did ABOUT as
much damage as any one 1ooJ pall
PLAYER can hope to do In foot ball
game.
when the second period ended the
score was nothing to nothing with
Princeton leading Yale by six nrst
downs against two. Many more orange
and Black banners thrown to the keen
November winds than banners OF Blue.
Princeton had outrushed and outkicked
yale and had planted an aggressive,
hard charging defense in the Blue road
that no Yale attack could bulge.
Early In the second period McIennan
had come in for Hall at quarter, but he
had drawn little opportunity to show
his stuff. His big chance came at the
start of the third quarter. Just after
the Tiger kickoff Yale had the ball
on her own 32-yard line. The Prince
ton goal was SO yards away and that
might have been 6S miles from the way
Yale's attack had been working up to
this point.
Then McLennan began to travel. He
came through like a blue streak for 10
yards on the first play He cut and
slashed through for 10 more on the
next start. He was starting at top speed
and striking with terrific force. He
had both speed and power and he had
q twisting, swerving way that was hard
to check. He came bounding on TO
Princeton's 35-yard line as the aston
tshed crowd, packed into the big bowl,
began to wonder just how Booth had

March SO Yards, Undated.
Two other Yale backs picked up
few yards and then from the 22-yard
line the fast-driving McLennan swept
outside Of tackle, ran over two secondary
defensive backs, cut to the left and
fought his way for Is yards to Prince
toms 6-yard line. In three more plays
the same back was over the line for the
first touchdown. This came early In
the third period and in this march Nc
Lehman had driven his 150-pound frame
the greater part Of a 66-yard march, q
march that never was halted. never
checked so far as the main objective
was concerned.
It was this flying march Of McLen-
mans, with a forward pass thrown by
TAYLOR to Hickok, in the last period, for
another touchdown that sent Princeton
away tonight after the worst season in
the history of Tiger foot ball. For the
Tiger there was no jewel of any sort
in the toad's head of defeat. There
was no balm in Gilead. There was no
chant in the jungles that knew more
shadows than Nassau's jungle had
known in so years. Yale had not only
won, but Yale had won without Albie
Booth, the man who saved Yale from
defeat against Brown, Army, Dart
1r1niifh and MARYLAND
Young Don McLennan's smashing
march In the last two periods upset
the old apple cart. For the first two
periods the powerful defensive strength
of both teams had put a blockade in
front of each goal. Princeton made
six first downs, with Wittmer and
Lowry starring, but the Blue attack
was only good for two. The Tiger line
came surging in, charging fast and
hard, and no Eli ball carrier could
make any aeadway. You had the feel
ing at the end of the first two periods
that neither team would score in a
dozen years unless they dragged little
Booth into action and let him step
along.
