  HARVARD’S PLAY IS RAGGED BUT 1T BEATS DARTMOUTH AND ITS FRESHMEN BEAT YALE’s. Naval Academy Defeats Washington and Jefferson I’m q Fast Game Other Good Contests. NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov. 16-Yale defeated Princeton in the annual football contest at Yale Field this afternoon by the score OF u to 0. The score, according to the experts who witnessed the game, rep resents accurately the superiority of the Sons of Eli over the Tigers Of old Nassau. Aside from the general excellence of the Yale team, the feature of the play was to be found in the entire absence OF unfair tactics. Probably no game ever has been played on the Yale Field where there was less roughing. slugging and offside play. During the game, lasting nearly two hours, including the intermission and the time taken out by delays resulting from injuries. but two penalties were imposed, the rival teams being equally guilty. In the first half Princeton was the offender and Yale was awarded ten yards distance. In the second half Yale’s anxiety cost her the same distance and honors were even. On two occasions players were warned by the umpire for tactics unnecessarily rough, but on these occasions, as in the instances of offside play. Princeton and Yale were alike guilty once each. There was nothing of the spectacular In the contest. The game was won by Yale as a result Of the simplest kind Of old fashioned play, and a physical condition which enabled the Sons of Eli to last” through a gruelling contest. Princeton, on the other hand, displayed a tendency to go 10 pieces, and throughout the seventy min utes Of actual time with a single change, when Captain KunZig, of the varsity boat crew, took the place of GOss at left tackle. Princeton found 1t necessary to call upon seven substitutes and the introduction of this half dozen Of fresh men enabled her 10 make a superb finish of a contest which had been altogether uphill. Yale’s goal lines were never endangered. Indeed the Princeton players never reached a point nearer Yale’s goal than the thirty yard line. Yale scored one touchdown in each half and each of these were converted ceverly into goal by Olcott. Yale’s touchdOwns came as a result of a superbly developed system of line plunging IN which the famous tackles back formations. in all their varieties, netted the greatest gains. Yale’s backs, assisted by as sprightly a set OF forwards as could be asked, found holes in the Princeton line which enabled them to make consistent gains when once they found their pace, and the touchdoWns were inevitable with the magnificent teamwork displayed by Yale when the occasion demanded 1t. The first touchdown was made after about fifteen minutes OF play. A tumble by princeton at the center Of the field gave Yale her chance and seizing the ball on Princeton’S twenty yard line the Yale men in ten plays forced the ball over for the first score. The rest OF kicks and. in this department OF the game little Desaulles, the Yale quarter back. surprised his admirers by holding his own fairly well with Dewitt. Yale required about twenty minutes Of play in the second half to score the second and last touchdown Of the game. Ihls score like It’s predecessor, came as Ine resuit OF straight football, made possible by great strength and superior team play. HOnOrs were evenly divided as TO KICKS, Desaulles holding his own amazingly Well Wit VDawrr In ha h1 Princeton excelled, perhaps a trt1e. In the matter of scrfmmageS, however, 1ale play was impressively cleaner, princeton time and again losing the ball on deplOraDle fUmbles. Throughout the game the play was largely in Princeton’s territory. From the kickoff at the start Yale did not let up until the first touchdown mao been made. Then she resorted to the kick ing game and the scrimmages were confined TO the middle Of the field. SO, too’ IN the second half. the New Haven DoyS clung 10 the ball amazingly and confined the play TO the Tigers territory until SIX points had been added to the Yale score. When the score was u to against them’ the Princetonians disclosed that never say-die” spirit by which she often mas Won great victories in the past, ana gave a superb exhibition OF last-dltch hshung: Uuquestionably beaten, and with seven OF the team substitutes, the heroes OF Olu Nassau went at IL and fairly hIted tne tne Yale men from their feet Then IL Was. for the first time in the second haII, tndl the Princeton men forced the play INTO Yale’s territory, and for the last nileen minutes of the game Yale was decidedly on the defensive. BarndOOr holes were torn i’m the hitherto inv1nc1ble 1ale Hhe and amazing distances were gained oy Ie Ihe New Jersey men. Their brace had come too late. however. and time was caneu for the end of the game. No player was seriously injured ana there seemed 10 be no disposition on the part OF the Princeton men TO quesIloh Yale’s all round superiority. Line-up’ Yale Position. Princeton. Gould ...-.....

  HARVARD BEAT DARTMOUTH. Dartmouth Scored But the Crimsons Won 27 to 12-Superior Weight OF Harvard Counted. = has been seen on Soldiers field this year. and although the boys from Hanover round the crimson team one too many Tor them, and were beaten by the score of q to u, they played fast, spurky foot Tall from start to finish. The cordial feeling which exists between the New Iiamp- hi, e college and the Cambridge university could not have been better cxemplihed than it yas yesterday on the gridiron. Both teams played for all there was in them, but there was not the least bit OF dirty playing such as some of the other teams that have Wis tied Cambridge this year have shown Each team was somewhat Handicapped by not having the use OF some of its best men, and during the second half sent in 4 good number of substitutes. The Dart mouth line played very low and hard, and for most of the game got the jump eVo r , time on the crimson line. Twice in the first half and three times in the second half the Dartmouth team gained their distance through the Harward line, and at one time in the second half 1t looked as though Dartmouth would plough its way down to the Harvard goal line But the superior weight and strenG h Of the harvard team held it and Dart mouth was able to score only by block u ( two of Harvard’s punts and falling on thu ball after 1t had rolled behind the HarVard goal line. Putnam had one kick blocked on his yard line by Pratt, and Morse fell on the ball behind the crimson line. Late in The second half, when DAILY went back to punt on his 10-yard line, Brown broke through and after blocking the l,ck picked up the BAH and made another score for Dart mouth. The prettest play of the day was Days goal from the field II award had rushed the ball down to Dartmouth’s l5-yard line. DAILY went back to the &-yard line and dropped pretty goal which, with the directton and distance it had, would have been good If sent from the 35-yard line The game was interesting from start ia finish and contained many plays not seen in every contest. Griffin twice made tries at place kick after a fair catch and once tried kick from placement, but tn ball fell short every time Graydon mad several good gains and once tore throu-h left tackle and plouRhed along for – yaId before he was brought down within ID yards OF the goal line by Belknap The Dartmouth men were alive to their Chances and took advantage of every mistak. of the crimson. Whitman and Griffin both kicked splendidly and easily outdist auc el Putnam. GraYdon and DAILY, who did t., punting for Harvard Barnard played d star game at right guard, ana Dartmouth found it pretty hard to make anything through any OF Harvard’s center trio. The visitors gain. were made through tackles mostly eXccpr Tor those made on punting and runninc in of HarVard’S punts There was very little fumbling on eitheside but the Harvard backheld were still weak in Judging punts. DAILY once mad, Il bad tumble of punt, but recovered h. / pail, and once, on a kickoff, Derby anu McGrew got mi <ed up and as a result neither of them got the ball but IT wa. recovered in time to save 1t from IN, Dartmouth forwards.
