Tiger attack on four straight smashes
ct the line.
Once again the Tiger came surging
back to reach the 4-yard line and once
again Yale's unbroken defense rolled
back the scoring thrust
And then at this point the dramatic
action switched again with startling
speed. Taking the ball on her own 20
yard line, Yale crowded into heavy
trouble, took the offensive and in just
10 plays put on march OF 80 yards
that finally sent Bob L9SSiter over the
line for what locked at that time to be
the winning drive. This slashing Blue
attack was trip-hs miner stuff, mixed up
with variety and deception that tore the
Tiger defense apart.
Lassiter Goes Over Line.
The feet Helm picked up II yards.
Then LaSsiter fired a long forward to
O'Coanell for a 37-yard gain that
placed the ball on Princeton's 32-yard
line. Once again the Blue uproar sent
its thunder across New Jersey hills and
plains. A moment later a triple pass to
O'Connen had the ball only 20 yards
from Princeton'S goal. Another pass
from Lassiter to Parker left the now
raging Bulldog only yards away and
in three plays Lassiter was over the line
for the points that followed when
Curtain kicked goal.
Eighty yards in 10 plays against
a team that had been nammering at
its rival goal line most of the third
period. No wonder the big Blue crowd
was throwing a series Of duck fits, with
the fourth quarter now well under way.
But here was Princeton team that
refused to be beaten. 1t had thrown
away two chances to score, but the
Nassau flame was still burning as
brightly as ever Yale had Just kicked
to Princeton's 48-yard line. Then one
of the queerest plays of the year fol-
lowed. Kadlic hurled a long pass to
Mcfarland, who nailed the ball on
Yale's 8-yard line with open territory
ahead. Two steps and he was over.
But caught out of focus Mcfarland
started back down the field, Swerved
over, and was thrown heavily, still 8
yards away from the Blue goal line
He had apparently taken it for granted
that some one had to be between him
an the goal, but no one was there.
Once again the Bulldog defense held
stoutlv and for the third time Tiger
attack was driven back.
111ls was enough to crack the heart
of an iron OK. But it failed to break
the Tigers. Once more, after Yale had
kicked, Kadlic hurled pass to Nc
Partland. who was stopped at the 20
yard line. Without wasting second
Kadlic passed to Fairman, who raced
over the line for the tying count after
Fortune had kicked goal
Outside of Yale'S one great 80-yard
march, it was Princeton who threat
ened most of the way through the clos
ing 80 minutes of the afternoon.
Princeton had four big chances to score
from close range and only cashed in
one chance. Yale had but one shot
at the Tiger line and made this lone
shot count.
James Equal to Six Horses.
Up to the closing moments Of this |
contest Princeton depended entirely on
the sheer power Jack James threw on
play after play at the Blue line. The
scrappy, hard-running Tiger back did
the work of six horses, but Princeton
needed much more variety and decep-
ton in her goal-line thrusts, which
were driven back.
It took stoutneSs of heart for the
Blue to roll back three touchdown
threats within her own 5-yard line, and
it took stoutneSS of heart for Prince |
ton to have these marches broken up |
SO close to victory and then come back !
for the tieing score. Yale put on only |
two consecutive marches all afternoon !
and one of these was finally rolled back |
at Princeton's 20-yard line The other !
was thing of beauty and Joy to Yale, |
in which speed, power, deception and |
variety were ably used until LassIter |
drove across the line The kicking of |
beth Parker and PJrnen stood out as |
one of the days leading features. Par
