  BRIDGEPORT IS TRYING TO SQUEAL OUT OF GAME WITH THE ALL-NEW BRITAIN TEAM YALE PAPER GIVES MUCH CREDIT TO PRINCETON Sportsmanlike Manner in Which Tiger Followers Took Defeat Lauded by the Daily News. New Haven, Nov. 20.-Princeton was eulogized as a sportsmanlike op- ponent by The Yale Daily News, said editorially: “A Princeton man was heard to re- mark during Saturdays football game: If that’s the way the Bulldog is losing his grip, I wish he’d get it back again For the Blue, the after noon meant sunshine breaking through the clouds, food after fam inc, joy after sorrow. But in the memories of the joyous throng who filled the west side of the Bowl, one thing will stand out fully as promi- nently as the 27 points. That thing is the undaunted manner in which Princeton’s supporters stuck by de- feated but valiant team. ITO be a good winner when fortune smiles is one thing. To be a good bad breaks. Yale successes, brought never a sign of a whimper or com plaint from the Tiger. Every move ment made by the warriors from Jun gletoWn even in the discouraging final moments brought forth cheers where one might expect the silence of bitter futility. After the game. as the snake dancers poured out of the Bowl be- tween lines of Princetonians, cheers of congratulation were showered upon them. Several names were added to Yale’s hall of fame and cup of joy filled to overkowing by team which gives promise Of being one of the greatest in the university’s half cen tury of gridiron history. But when hard times again roll round, as roll they must, if the Blue will accept de- feat with as much clean-cut sports as did the Orange and Black on Saturday, traditions will be none the less glorious for having lost a game”
