  THRILLING CLIMAX TO YALE-T|GER GAME Beaten Back in First Three Periods, Princeton Tore Loose Smashing Attack. PLAY LIKE NEW COMBINATION Substitutes Called Back by Blues Coach, but Onslaught Con- tinues With Fury. PRINCETON. y. j., November IA Yale defeated Princeton, 10 to IA. today In football game which for thrilling climax rivaled modern stage craft at its best. Beaten back and scored upon with apparent ease during the first three periods, the Tigers tore loose with smashing attack in the final fifteen minutes, and fairly riddled the Els line Twice the Orange and Black swept across the Blue Il n line. and when time was called were fighting desperately for third touchdown and victory, No similar situation has developed IN many years in the ANIMAL game between these two universities. With LIS thrill ing moments of spectacular play and gripping uncertainty. the contest formed most fitting dedication OF Princeton’s new Palmer Memorial Stadium. Forty thousand cheering spectators filed the great gay horse shoe. warm sun and an almost entire absence OF wind made playing conditions perfect. Tigers Take the Defensive. During three-quarters Of the game there was nothing to indicate the SEN sational climax with which Princeton was to make memorable the dedication of it’s new football arena. Forced to take the defensive from the very be- , strength at any time. They seemed TO be completely puzzled By the wide open attack In which the Blue back | field passed the ball from player to player In runs around the end. and then suddenly switched to long for ward passes However, the Orange and Black played like new combination in the final quarter when Blue substitutes had been sent to tho field. Yale’s first string men were quickly put back into play. but once the Tigers got going, they were not to be stopped Two | touchdowns were scored, ana with less than five minutes of play, Prince ton started for another touchdown. Captain Talbot frantically urged his players TO make last stand, and they responded nably Princeton found it’s gains cut down from yards to feet and | resorted to forward passes, but they were broken up by the Blues alert backfeld, and when the game ended the ball was in midileld.

Just as he was about to be tackled. Legore threw tho ball to ten-yard line and ran 1t over the Princeton line for n touchdown. Lcgorc failed at an easy goal. Score: Yale, 6; Princeton, 0.

  TIGERS FIGHT YALE TO FINISH with Score 10 to 0 Against Them, Princeton Turns and 6atters Bull Dog to Finish. KANSAS DEFEATED $50 FINAL SCORE 10 TO Il Yates use Of Passes Will Make Trouble for Harvard in Their Game Next Saturday. saturday, [By Hal Sheridan, written for the United Press.] PRINCETON, N. j., Nov. 14.-For the first time since 1910, a Yale elevon triumphed over Princeton here today. The score was 10 to IA The Tiger was out-fought and out-generaled, but never out-gamed. With the Blue team on the long end OF a 10 to score at the end Of the third period, the Princeton Tiger, bat tered and torn, ripped into the Bull dog with finish that was amazing. Before the wounded Junghe-cat was through its dying fight, in that last fifteen minutes of rip and smash u had torn IA points from the pelt ~ the bull dog. Going at the rate they were when the referees whistle ended the battle, and given more good time it might have been Princeton and not Yale students who pranced on the field after the game for the famous snake dance and to burn some steer dollars worth of perfectly good fifty cent programs. Relative Strength Not Shown. While those Ia points mean lot to Princeton and are grand tribute to the fight the Tigers always show, they should not be counted in doping up the relative strength OF the two teams Those IA points were due to a case of mistaken identity. Coach Hinkey Of Yale, didn’t recognize the team he was fighting. He shot in an entirely new eleven of second string men at the start Of the fourth period anu then the Sons Of Nassau got their mad up. During the sensational rush TO-. the first Tiger touchdown, Hinkey sent Legore and Ainsworth back into the game. It did no good for in all most an unbelievably quick time the Orange and Black tide swept over the Blue goal for second tally. Tigers Make Sudden Turn. Up to that first march down the field in the fourth quarter, Princeton had failed to make single first ! down. It was Moore who pulled the trick with a fifteen yard dash around Yale’s left end In two more plays, Princeton got another first down on Yale’s % yard line. In six more plays Moore scored. From their own 10 yard line Princeton hammered and drove through what had been Yale defense for the second touchdown without once losing the ball, Click catapulting himself over the Blue goal, after Yale had braced momentarily and withstood three line drives. f. 1t was all Yale in these first three periods. while the full offense was working. If Harvard proved a gus gernaut against Princeton week ago, Yale proved an avalanche today with her regulars at the guns. Impres nable when Princeton had the ball, Yale fairly tore up the turf in offensive. Instead of opening up, the Tisers proved, disappointing. Il was Yale that pried the lid off conservatism and threw it away. The forward passing i of plunging Legore was revelation. Nothing has ever been seen like 1t on a foot ball field before. The way Le- gore, Ainsworth, Knowles and Wilson got away from 10 to 40 yards on a ! double, triple, auadruple and lateral passes was nothing short Of iegerde- main Championship basket ball teams have shown less efficiency in passing III was chiefly by this freakish play that Yale got her three touchd owns but straight old fashioned attack was nor to be sneezed at. | Trouble for Harvard. | Even II Harvard next Saturday solves the problem OF Yale’s criss- \ cross almost throw-as-you-please pass j ing system, the Crimson will have its hands full stopping Legore, Knowles ! and Ainsworth, the three original HUI man Krupp guns. Princeton. as noted, got only six first downs-all Of them | in the last period. Throughout the sama the losers got IT’S yards on rushing the ball from scrimmage. AT least 125 yards was gained in the fourth quarter. Yale rushed the ball sse Yards for IA first downs. On four teen punts Yale averaged forty yards, Princeton averaged 43 yards on TWEEN | ty-three punts.
