Goe- bel was always there to pull him along for extra gains, and the few times Goebsl ves missing Philbin and Hobbs were there with the pull. The other Yale men were generally good.

Field played end as If born to the position and Corey from then on ran the team like a whirl- wind. While Murphy was in he was n good consistent ground gainer, all his gains being short and steady. Hobbs went into the line at left tackle toward the middle of the game and proved his ability to hold the position. The center trio, Andrus, Riddle, Goebel were irreproachable. At tackle Brides played the same steady game which has marked him in every position he has ever played Johnson, who started the game at quarterback. and who seemed Yale’s only hope for the position, was kicked in the head by seigling, who now Is the Princeton captain. soon after the game started.

He fought for every inch Ho had his eyes everywhere and fol- lowed the ball all over the field. The culmination of his football career came when he tackled Coy.
