A rather strong WIND, vi,h lust a tinge of bitterness, came Az, AZ the northwest, but IL mattered no, 20 the crowd, and il mattered little 70 the players. The setting then Tor ,hs gane was as satisfying as the s,ruegle was bewildcring and exciting. YSls won, as said before, largely Detau,e the Yale men followed Tom Seylin’s oft-repeated words in the last few DAYS: Hold that ball” and the Tigers did not. But aside from this HI !, be emphasized that the fal e men showed no outstanding faults IN the fundamentals, and that they followed he ball with greater Zest and consist sucy. and tackled much harder, II not more surely, than the men Of Prince ton. u The game was not so technically sayless as that one of a week ago when Harvard beat the Tigers, but II ANYTHING il was more interesting 70 watch and certainly more thrilling and spectacular. Defence About Equal. Yale’s running attack was not. SO AIRED and hardly so well sustained as that Of Princeton. but defensively there vss little to choose In fact, the Blue line was the stronger, if anything, ana more impregnable than Harvards week ago against any plays aimed De- tween tackle and tackle. There was certain looseness brought about oy Prnes.on’s wide end runs from the dangerous fake kick formation, so that Tibboa. briggs and Moore got away al tine, for dashing runs of from twenty 10 twenty-five yards, but these runs were scattered. Yale had more chances TO score than Princeton, and on the whole gave the Impression Of carrying the fght TO hsr opponents. Guernsey was robbed u another goal from the field In the bird period because of holding in the hre, 80 that Yale not only lost three rsints but fifteen yards as well. he | ,sd two other shots at the goal posts, 10Th Of which missed by narrow rsrgins. The first came before the game was no minutes old, and the opportunity sne because Shea fumbled punt and Aub Sheldon, who started the game at tt tackle instead Of Gates, fell on the AL for Yale.

  PRINCETON TIGERS JOLTED BY YALE Dark Blue TTiumphs in Thrill ing Gridiron Battle by Score of 13 to 7. GUERNSEY is THE STAR WITH TWO FIELD GOALS Poor Generalship and Individual Errors Cost Orange and Black the Victory. NEW HAVEN, Conn, Novem- Der l5.-Rising Phoenix-like from the ashes of a disastrous preliminary foot bali season, the Yale eleven won from Princeton here this afternoon, IS to 7. No grid iron classic of recent years has furnished greater thrills, individual playing prowess or form up set than this most surprising triumph of the Blue over the Grange and Black. 1t was case of a powerful foot bail combination just beginning to find itself, overwhelming by brute strength an eleven far more finished in playing tactics, but lacking the ability to cope with a Yale eleven fighting desperately. AS team, the Princeton machine was superior to the Blue, but the smooth Tiger juggernaut was ripped apart by bulldog. squad gone berserk. Gridiron heroes rose and fell during the struggle. but none reached the heights attained by Otis l. Guernsey. whose clever field goal kicking, paved the way for Yale victory. Twice In the second period Guernsey drove the ball through the Tiger goal posts when Capt. Wilson OF the Yale team found that the eleven as a whole was unequal to the task of taking the spheroid across the opponents line. Both drop kicks were made from near midheld and the performance of the Green wich. Conn.,, player won him a place among the kicking stars of foot ball. pie Way, pitcher of the Blue base ball team, shared the glory of the VIC tory with Guernsey. for it was his Tor tune to scoop up a fumbled punt by Tibbott and race across the goal line for Yale’s only touchdown of the game, and the first that the Ellis have made in the past two contests ways run was one of the most spectacular fealures of struggle that bristled with startling plays, and tonight Guernsey, Way, Capt. Wilson and Emergency Coach Tom Shevlin are the heroes OF both town and gown. For Princeton nothing remains but the memory of a season that started in blaze of glory and closed in the bitterness OF unexpected defeat by both Yale and Harward. Nearly 90, 900 Present. Close to $4,000 spectators thronged into the Yale foot ball arena, filing the circular tiers of seats until only one or two small bare spots showed in the great gray amphitheater. The weather and the gridiron conditions were perfeet From the opening of, the game it was seen that the Ellis had been keyed up to the do or die stage of foot ball, and they assailed the Princeton war riors like wild men, making up in in d:vidual power and briiliancy what they lacked in teamwork. and strategic ally it was this fighting spirit aided by the breaks in the luck of the game and errors contributed by Princeton which swung the pendulum OF victory to the Blue. The ball was carried or kicked up and down the gridiron throughout the first qua rter without decided advantage for either team. although Yale showed confidence af:l increased the longer she held Princeton scoreless. With the beginning of the second period, the Ellis tried a sustained attack, and carried ing. Shifting TO a forward pass advance, they found the Tiger unawed By the move. and. after the bail had been grounded without gain, Guernsey kick ed his first field goal OF the day from his own -f6-yard line. For the full 81 yards the spheroid sailed straight and true for the Princeton goal, and il went over the bar, in one of the longest kicks in the history Of foot bail between Yale and Princeton, the Blue CO. horts rose and waved their coiors Almost Immediately Guernsey dupli- Gated the feat. the second field goal coming SO quickly that it left the Nassau contingent smarting by its suddenness. On PTinceton’s kick of. Capt. Wilson had run the bail back to midfield, and four more rushes through the demorAlized opponents pl,ced the hail inside princeton’s 30-yard line. Here the Tigers set themselves and held Yale. SO that again Capt. Wilson was forced to call on Guernsey for drop kick. and the latter. standing on the 3e-yard line. hoisted the ball between the goal bars.
