A PRINCETON VICTORY.
[Continued from 7oth page.]
Eleven swarmed about him, eager to
take advantage of such slips. Too
much zeal in the Princeton line before
the ball was in play gave five yards
to Yale. Durston carried the ball
three yards, but it slipped from his
grasp and Poe had it. :
Then a second time did Princeton feel
the strength of the enemy. Ayres got
a yard through center and Hillebrand
got past Coy for 5 yards more, but the
watchful umpire, Mr. Dashiel, saw hold-
ing in the line and brought him back.
Ayres’s try at center left him two yards
backwards and on the next line-up he
lifted the ball to Yale’s 4o-yard line,
where deSaulles got under it, but was
able to bring it back only five yards, be-
ing thrown hard by Palmer. Even at
this early point in the game it was evi-
dent to the observers that deSaulles was
far below his usual game. Seeing his
lack of practice at catching punts and
his attempts to preserve what was left
to him of a leg when he was tackled,
many criticisms were passed on the
side-lines as to the wisdom of keeping
him on the field. But though unable
to walk without a limp and suffering
much pain, he held his place and tried
to put the old-time dash into his
Eleven.
A KICK BLOCKED BY PRINCETON.
On the next line-up on Yale’s 40-yard
line, McBride attempted to kick out,
but he was slow and a Princeton man
blocked the ball and Ayres fell upon it.
Kafer made an attempt to pass Eddy,
but dropped the ball and the Yale Cap-
tain recovered it. McBride’s punt
down the field was brought back ten
yards by Kafer before Eddy could
reach and throw him. In _ succession
Princeton’s half-backs were hurled at
the line, but there were no gains and
Ayres dropped back for a punt which
big Marshall broke through and
stopped with his hands. Stillman
pounced upon it and made Yale the
aggressor on Princeton’s 20-yard line.
First, Benjamin took his length from
that distance and Durston followed
him with a like amount, and the ball
lay almost upon the second from the
last Princeton chalk-mark.
A COSTLY FUMBLE.
McBride. was called upon for a plunge
and as one yard alone was wanted for
a first down, it did not seem unreasona-
ble to expect it. But the inevitable
fumble made its appearance and Yale’s
first chance to score was lost, for Ayres
kicked out of danger and the East stand
breathed again. The kick was as poor
as the previous ones, traveling only 25
yards to deSaulles, who advanced it
two yards and was thrown by Poe. The
latter lay on the ground the full time
allowed by law, but went back to his
place. deSaulles’ tender ankle received
a terrible jolt, but with characteristic
pluck he picked himself up and awaited
the revival of Mr. Poe.
And now with the ball on Princeton’s
35-yard line began the - San’ Juan
attack with which it seems impossible
to associate defeat. Durston smashed
through Geer for three yards, and Mc-
Bride, throwing his arm about Ben-
jamin, put him past Edwards for two
more. Again Durston found a hole
which was three yards long, and his
running mate added three more to the
general fund. The former seemed in-
vincible, wanted to be usea and im-
proved with the using. On the next
play he laid the ball 12 yards nearer the
Princeton goal.
THE UNEXPECTED.
As the teams lined up, both sides of
the field sat silent watching the forma-
tion that was to work more havoc.
Durston was passed the ball and dove
into the line, with the remainder of the
backs closing in about him for a shov-
ing play. Suddenly from the struggling
mass Poe, the little Princeton right-
end, came staggering with the ball.
In an instant he had gathered himself
together and had- struck off down
through the open field towards Yale’s
goal traveling like the wind, with the
ball tucked snugly under his left arm.
He had gone ten yards before a Yale
man could get himself extricated from
the mass. Then began a hopeless stern
chase, with Captain Chamberlin and
Coy in the van of the pursuers. For
forty yards the heavy Yale man held his
own and even gained a few feet, but
could not keep it up. And Coy was
not fleet enough to reach a diving dis-
tance until Poe had thrown himself
across Yale’s goal line directly under
the posts and 98 yards from his starting
point. Ayres added one more with his
toe and the score was 6 to o. There
had been ten minutes of play. Ac-
counts differ as to how Mr. Poe came
by the ball. Some say he took it from
the ground; others are equally sure he
took it from Durston’s grasp, which
was not strong enough, and this latter
view is testified to by Durston himself.
However is was done, it was well done.
It was what Princeton’s men had been
trained to look for and it was what won
her the game.
On the next kick-off the ball went to
Beardsley on Princeton’s 10-yard line,
who was tackled by Coy after gaining
eight yards. On the first line-up the
Tigers tried a fake kick, which resulted
in a loss of three yards. Then, being
wholesomely afraid of that Yale stone
wall, Ayres kicked to Yale’s 4o-yard
line, where the ball went out of bounds.
An exchange of punts left the ball with
Princeton on her 15-yard line.. One
attempt through Brown was enough
and McBride got Ayres’s kick on the
45-yard line, but he couldn’t hold it
and Poe was on hand to cover it.
THE YALE DEFENSE STRONG.
It didn’t stay long with the New Jer-
sey men, who could make no impres-
sion anywhere. Yale got her machine
in good running order about this time,
and back went‘the Tigers under the
fierce hammering of Durston, Benjamin
and McBride, and a five-yard penalty
for interference with Cutten. The ball
was on Princeton’s 30-yard line when
Durston’s fumble gave
chance to get it away from his terri-
tory for a breathing spell. A little
while longer and it was Yale’s ball on
Princeton’s 25-yard line and Chamber-
lin thought he saw a chance’ to score
from the field. His kick was well pro-
tected, but it fell short and some six
feet to the right of the posts. In the
punting duel which ensued after the
kick-out, between McBride and Wheel-
er, who had been substituted for Kafer,
nothing was gained on either side and
Yale again resorted to rushing her op-
ponents on their 45-yard line. But the
advance was cut short by a fumble
and Wheeler booted the ball to de-
Saulles, who stood 25 yards from his
own goal. Hampered by his weak
ankle, he slipped and fell in attempting
to make the catch, and the ball bound-
ing from his foot or leg, fell directly in
the path of the Princeton Captain,
coming on a galop. He did not
slacken his pace, but stooping, scooped
it from the earth and with apparently
a clear field started for what seemed
like a sure touchdown run. He was,
however, run out and thrown by Eddy,
after an exciting race diagonally across
the field, having made 15 yards.
DESAULLES LAST PLAY.
Now, just at the end of the first half,
was the time to make victory certain,
and encouraged by 10,000 voices the
Princeton backs threw themselves
against the Yale block-house, but they
only lost the ball on downs for their
pains. The ball was in deSaulles’ hands
after a double pass, and gathering him-
self for a supreme effort, unheeding the
pain of the now almost useless ankle,
he skirted the left end of the Tigers for
15 yards. It was his last play of the
game and as he hobbled from the field
he was cheered loudly. Ely took his
place.
The ball was still too close to be safe
and McBride’s attempt to help matters
made them worse, for his kick went.
