  Parke II. Davis Tells Of Princeton’s Flashy Yer satile Offence. DECISIVE SUPERIORITY Detailed Analysis of Play In dicates Effectiveness of Winners Tactics. | PRINCETON, n. j., Nov. 13.-The Princeton football eleven to-day prescented an almost perfect combination Of power, precision, speed and courage. ! | Yale possessed power, precision and | | courage, but in comparison with | Princeton, lacking speed and versa | tility, went down in defeat. The score ! was Princeton, 20; Yale. 0. This | luminous legend, which will take its place in the long file Of Princeton Yale footbalt battles, represents two ! touchdowns, two goals following | touchdowns, and two goals from the | field. This score ranks as the second | largest score ever achieved by Prince ton over Yale, being four points less than the memorable figures of 1886, / and nine more than the equally | memorable figures of 1899 and 1908, | with which three games the score of ! ! 1920 must be compared The score / will be doubly gratifying to all follow ers Of Princeton, because it was made against a first class Yale team. The decisiveness of the score, however, is attributable to the individual super brilliance of Princeton’s players, CO. ordinated into perfect team play. ex- ecuting highly ingenious tactics, and directed by superior generalship. Princeton’s first score came on the first play in the second quarter. 1t was a drop kick from the 20 yard line at wide and difficult angle shot between | the bars by f. l.. Murrey. The Tigers | ! second score occurred !on the last play | ! in the second quarter, the time actually expiring while the ball was in flight. | ! This score was a touchdown by d. Il. Lourie who from fake kick formation. with flashing speed raced around Yale’s right nd-Dlworth-thirty-f yards and crossed the goal line The second touchdown was achieved in the seventh play in the third quarter and very appropriately is to be cred tied to Callahan. the Tiger captain On the fourth play in this quarter Scheerer had lifted mighty punt of fifty yards. | Yale fumbed and Callahan, leading his forwards down the field, picked up the ball on Yale’s 20 yard line and with IT raced over the three remaining stripes | for n touchdown Keck in each instance kicked the goal. The fourth and final score was achieved by Princeton on the thirty-seventh play in this same quarter. Scheerer of Princeton had placed a punt squarely on Yale’s 1 yard line. From behind the goal line the Blue punted out thirty-five yards. Princeton made fair catch and Keck from the 35 yard line sent a place kick squarely ! between the bars. SIX Princeton Drives. | Princeton during the day executed six ! | tremendous drives down the field, each ! piercing the Blues 20 yard line. Yale in similar drives thrice reached Prince | tons 20 yard line. and once the latter’s 10 yard line Four of Princetons drives were stemmed by Yale. but two resulted ! in touchdowns. Princeton, on the other | | hand. not only presented an impregna- BILE barrier to Yale within the Orange ! and Blacks 20 yard zone. but actually | / in two instances drove Yale backward by | sharp tackles. On the third assault by / Yale inside of Princeton’s 25 yard line | n drop kick failed. The all round superiority of Prince | ton over Yale Is borne out by the de- ! tailed analysis in every department of / | the play. Princeton during the after | | noon executed a total of ninety-two Of | ! fersive plays. which carried the ball for | 4 ward from the Orange and Black the | highly credtable distance, AS football | games go, OF 1920 yards. Yale during | ! the battle launched seventy-sIx different | attacks by which the standard Of the | Black traversed r. total of 1907 yards These luminous figures. therefore. indicate that Princeton not only was largely | the aggressor but that It’s efforts produced the tremendous prepondeEance of / 2s3 yards Princeton during the game made sew enteen mlsplays for total loss of ! elghty-seven yards, of which fifty were due to penalties. Yale made only nine misplays, but these entailed n loss of eighty-six yards, in which was a FUN bled punt which lost Yale fifty yards, and which. being recovered by the mighty Callahan of Princeton. was In stantly converted into a touchdown. The number Of running attacks almost | MISUNDERSTANDING for Princeton and thirty-six for Yale--but the results of these assaults present the amazing contrast OF 2O4 Yards for Princeton and only 102 yards for Yale. Prince ton launched eleven forward passes. OF which only three succeeded. the trio yielding forty-flve yards. Yale hurled eight for ward passes, OF which three also sue ceeded for the smaller distance of only seventeen yards The overhalance in Princetons favor likewise extended 20 the puntlng. StheeTtT anu Louvre OlNldtt tne hlChlnk between them during the day for a total OF IL punts ooveripe $40 yards. Against this record Yale 6unted 13 times for a total Of Sos yarhs This difference becomes accentufted when one takes into consideration that Princeton on several occasions intentionally delivered short punts out Of bounds In order to prevent Yale from making n touchbacls. In Princeton’s pupting total Of go yards there are three prodlgious punts. cover ing so. CO and GO yards respectively, In the honors OF which both Scheorer and Lourie shared.

Princeton twice ran the ball forward fifteen yards from completed passes and | twice ran the ball forward ten yards fiom intercepted passes. whereas Yale IN these two methods OF attack accompished nought Likewise. Princeton from n recovered rumble ran forward twenty yards. the player being great Callahan himself. who planted the ball behind Yale’s goal line. Yale in this frame also cannot display a single yard gained. The players on both elevens ran
