NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, November 16.-
Yale's foot ball team today stood up in
It's famous bowl, with $4,000 persons
looking on, to deny that 1t is one
man team, using the hapless Princeton
Tiger as q victim and illustrating the
tale with 13-to-0 victory over the
men from Old Nassau.
Little Albie Booth, who has been the
n1ainstay of the Blue backheld all
year. could not play today on account
Of a Charley horse" and his mates
went out to show their supporters and
the Princeton Tigers they could win
without Booth.
There was no great indication In the
scoreIess, first half that the Boothless
Yale team would be able to success
fully work out the novel experiment.
The first two periods were scoreleSs
and Princeton outgained and outkicked
the ELS.
Booths Proxy Shines.
In the second half the story was diff
ferent. Booth was represented by a
proxy who was as elusive and tricky as
the little fellow himself. Don McLen-
nan, a junior, whose home is in Lake
Forest, Ill, showed more offensive pow
er. than the Princeton defense could
meet. He scored the first Yale touch
down and played a vital part in the
second. He gained more than 400 yards
in 30 ball-carrying efforts. Another
sub, Al Beane, was a fine running mate
for McLennan.
Booth almost got in the game. Late
in the fourth period Yale drove to the
very shadow of Princeton's goal posts
and little Albie leaped from the bench
and began tearing of his sweater. The
crowd roared as he talked to Yale
coach. In the meantime a play was
run and Yale was still a yard from
the goal line. Booth then sat down
and Yale on the fourth try gave the
ball to Princeton on downs.
Yale came out for the second half
with a drive that woulc not be denied.
McLennan caught tho kickoff and
legged it back 25 yards to his 30-yard
line.
Princeton Fights Back.
On the next play, he clipped of 13
yards and in cooperation with Ellis,
McLennan added two more first downs
and then contributed fourth on his
own account with a 14-yard smash to
the 20-yard line. His next sprint OF
s yards brought him within easy
striking distance. The fighting Prince
ton team stopped him once and slowed
him on another play. but finally with
the Princeton goal line, yards away, he
was not to be halted and over he
plunged for the first touchdown of the
game. McLennan caught the Tigers
fiatfooted when he tossed a pass to Tay-
| lor for the extra point.
Princeton came right back as though
1t would level the affair at once. Witt
mer took the kickoff and ran so yards
to midf1eld, but there was no sustained
drive and the Tiger had to wait for the
fourth period to threaten again. Then
a pass to Wittmer was good for 80 yards
and Princeton advanced to Yale's Is
| yard line. Passes would not click and
Yale got the ball.
Yale took the ball on its own 20-yard
| line when the last Tiger pass was
| grounded behind the goal line. McLen-
nan at once ran II yards and then with
Beane made a first down in the center
! of the field. Beane rested McLennar
for two plays and his relief work wa,
so good that he was able, with the ale
Of penalty, to place the ball or
