aw ALi. ACI eee wy Hin Y —_—- A GREAT YALE DRIVE. [Continued from 2d page.| ble. There was no waiting or confer- ence. The signal came as quickly as though the game had only just begun in the center of the field. Before Chadwick and Rodgers Princeton’s tight opened, Dudley entering. Yale had scored. It is utterly useless to try to describe the effect upon the crowd. That touch- down meant untold business for throat snecialists. The Yale team trotted back to the center of the field, looking more nearly satisfied than at any other time since the 20th of September. deSaulles lay along the ground and the youth Cadwalader approached him. An emi- nent Yale specialist on football symp- toms told the Yale center that his ex- pression at that moment reminded him of the face of a supreme court justice casting a deciding vote in a case in- volving millions to the government. Yes, the goal was kicked! MORE GOOD FOOTBALL. This was all the scoring, but it was not the finish of the game. There was yet another run by deSaulles to come. The irrepressible little quarter took the ball on the very kick-off at Yale’s 25- yard line near the West end of the field. This time he didn’t try much dodging, for he saw five or six Yale players stretch out before him in a long line of defense. The quickness of the forma- tion of that interference is only equalled in the writer's remembrance by the Princeton co-operation with Smith in the game at New York last year, that when he took the ball on a pass from Baird, who had received it from Hink- ey’s long punt on Princeton’s 30-yard line. It was when he ran to within ten yards of the Yale goal, there to be overhauled by Benjamin after the pret- tiest race of the game. Hall, Brown, Rodgers, Benjamin—these all, and others, seemed to be in this interfer- ence. They threw tnemselves so well before their men that not less than three of the Princeton forwards were bowled over. 3 éeSariies covered fiity yards’ before he was stopped. That whetted Yale’s appetite for another touchdown. But that was not to be. Dudley, Rodgers, Benjamin and McBride all smashed along towards the Princeton goal line. But after a series or two the Princeton defense stiffened and the ball was lost on downs. Princeton’s side roared its en- couragement, which was well-deserved. Again the Yale onslaught had been disastrous, and Reiter left the play for Kelly, who had not been thought well enough to open the game. It isa ques- tion how long his strength could have stood the strain, but he certainly ‘did heroic work for the last twenty minutes, both in defense and offense. Shortly after this came one of the finest features of the game, the rally of Princeton in their smash through the victorious Yale line for a gain of twenty-five yards, car- rying the ball to Yale’s 30-yard line. It was Kelly who generally had the leather when these plays were made.. It was all over though after an attempt- ed double: pass which was fumbled, Rodgers being, as usual, where he ought to be and recovering the ball. The Yale line was aroused to a frenzy, and it was next to impossible to put any complicated play into operation before it. An exchange of kicks and finally another block by the Yale line of a punt by Wheeler left the ball on Princeton’s 25-yard line, where Benjamin recov- ered it. Another Princeton player had succumbed, Bannard retiring for Ayers. The Princeton defense was even stiffer and the old line-breakers couldn’t break, so there was more kicking. A little later Princeton tried the line- breaking again. Rodgers finally spoiled it by throwing back Ayers for a loss of two yards. This left the ball on Princeton’s 30-yard line. YALE’S LAST ATTEMPT. There were three minutes of play left, and Yale was very anxious to have another touchdown. And she came mighty near it. Dudley and McBride took five yards off that thirty. Cham- berlin, who was making his beautiful record better every minute, made his gain. Here Booth showed the effect of the strain so much that the coaches dragged him from the field against his will, and Dickey took his place. Then Dudley and Chamberlin and Rodgers hammered at it, and when they were through only twenty yards were left. Dudley tried it again, and this time he took off eleven yards, going round Princeton’s right. McBride smashed through for six yards more, and Prince- ton’s goal was within nine feet. It didn’t seem possible to stop that Yale advance, but the timekeepers did it. And the game was won by Yale and lost by Princeton. If you have read through this ac- count, you will doubtless feel that you do not yet understand how Yale marched it out to victory. If you were given a diagram of the Yale plays you would not any more understand it. The simpler the work, the harder to explain. Hardly more than four times did deSaulles’ signals call for even end plays. First it was a smash at one tackle and then at another; it was guard left and guard right. And it was sim- ply the force and the speed of that drive and the perfect co-operation of the men in the simple plays that won it out for the Blue. Therein lies ine great satis- faction of it for Yale. It was a margin of superiority, mounting almost to per- fection, in fundamental qualities.
