of the game?" I asked.
There were too many decisive plays
in this game to pick out any single
turn" Pond said. Franks goal-line
defense-the goal-line play of the en-
tire Yale Ine-Ewart's long return
Hessberg's run-Frank's passing
Kelley's two remarkable catches
these we're all vital factors. And
don't forget that Princeton also re-
fused to be beaten until the final
play. When a team can see a l6-point
lead wiped out and still come back
to regain the front-lose it again and
still come within step of winning,
as Jack White did before Wilson
bumped him out of bounds, it must
have plenty in the way of heart"
Neale's Slant.
EARLE GREASY" NEALE, Ponds
able lieutenant, named this
Yale team as the gamest and the
Smartest he ever had seen.
I've seen many teams that wouldn't
quit before" he told me, but I never
saw a team that could face heavy odds
and still keep so much head and heart
in the job. If Princeton had scored
80 points it wouldn't have discouraged
this bunch. Nearly all foot ball teams
have spirit but this Yale bunch is
loaded with it-packed with it.
In speaking of Clint Frank,
don't forget that. in addition to
his tackling and blocking. his
line bucking and end running,
his two 40-yard returns from
kick offs, he also called the
signals and used perfect judg-
ment for the fifty-nine minutes
he played.
when you get a fine blocker and
a fine ball carrier, defensive star, a
brilliant passer and smart field gen.
eral rolled into one frame-you've
got something"
Princeton's Angle.
THERE is little question that
Princeton eased up a trif1e too
soon after that l6-point lead. At the
end of 20 minutes, the Tiger was
running away with the game. Her
big line was stopping every Yale at
White and others
were running and passing their way
from goal to goal But Princeton
overlooked the fact that her first nine
points came partly from a 9-yard Yale
kick and a Yale tumble.
After the first period the Yale line
came to life with rush. And after
Yale got under way Princeton never
had the ball long enough for the next
80 minutes to do much in the way of
a counter-attack.
Princeton proved wide open to a
passing assault in the Harvard game.
Once Yale moved from the ground
into the air, there was bad crumbling
of the Tiger defense, not only against
passes, but also against the running
game. Frank, Ewart, Wilson and
Hessberg are all fast-always danger
GUS. While the Tiger was watching
Kelley these backs were running.
When they were trying to check these
backs Kelley was catching passes.
His job in handling Franks
52-yard heave and his imme-
diate stiff-arm thrown against
White was the high spot Of the
afternoon.
White proved again to be a fine ball
carrier, while Lynch was work horse
and good one-from start to finish.
After all, Princeton scored % points
and marched to the Blue 2-yard line
twice. Those are more points than
Cornell. Pennsylvania, Navy and Dart
mouth scored together against the
Blue. But this time they were not
enough against team that refused
to be discouraged-and against team
that had Frank to pass, Kelley to re-
ceive and four fast, elusive backs to
carry the ball. Princeton simply
couldn't handle this double threat that
kept her jittery for the last 40 minutes
of play.
