YALE HOLDS TIGERS TIE SCORE, 3 TO 3 Bulldog Comes Back Strong and Greatly Surprises Princeton Crowd. KICKS BRING SCORES Carlisle Puts Crimp in Cham pionship Ambition of Dartmouth. KICKS BRING SCORES NEW HAVEN. Conn. Nov, 17--For Princeton game ended in a tie score. in which goal kicking was the feature Yale scored her three points on q thirty-yard kick by Guernsey in the second period. In the third period Captain Baker saved Princeton from defeat by dropping a pretty goal from the field from the thirty-two-yard line. As Princeton was pronounced IA vorite before the game. the contest was more satisfactory from a Yale standpoint than from an opponent : and gave the Blue plenty of encourage ment for next Saturdays contest with Harvard next Saturday. Throughout the contest Yale was superior to Princeton in the rushing game. and three times missed goals from the field by few yards. In the last period on a beautiful run by AinsWorth. Yale carried the ball TO within six yards OF the Princeton goal line, There Yale lacked the punch TO carry it over. making only four yards in three downs. A touchdown vas at tempted on a forward pass, but the ball went TO Princeton. Only once during the game was Princeton within twenty five yards of the Yale goal line and there a forward pass was inter cepted. The punting duel between Law OF Princeton and Knowles of Yale, who was afterward relieved by Guernsey was about even. There were few nuns and nearly all of these were in the back Reld.
