YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY
A PRINCETON VICTORY.

ton’s ball again on Yale’s 30-yard line.
Wheeler tried to improve his oppor-
tunity for a goal from the field. It was
a poor attempt and went out of touch
at the 15-yard line. On the line-up
which followed, McBride made one of
the longest kicks of the game over the
Princeton full-back’s head and rolling
to his 35-yard line, where he was
downed by Coy. Before the ball could
be put in play the whistle sounded for
the half to end.
The intermission was spent in guess-
ing at how many times Yale might
score in the second half, for it was the
firm belief of many that all was’ not
lost. The team had shown what splen-
did stuff was in them and led their sup-
porters to think that under the spurring
of the coaches they would play des-
perate football in the second half. And
they did play desperately, but the tide
was against them.
When the second half opened at
twenty-five minutes past three, Yale
started in with a rush to retrieve her
blunders and after an exchange of kicks
began again to batter her opponents
backwards.
A glance at any well-kept note-book
would show about this time the mo-
notonous recurrence of the names of
Durston and Benjamin, with occasion-
ally that of McBride, coupled with fig-
ures which represented gains of from
one to six yards. Ely was running his
team well and the entire line was out-
playing their opposites. Hope began
to rise again in the Yale heart at the
splendid showing, and the ball was with-
in 20 yards of the coveted spot.
Again Poe electrified the grand stands
by grabbing the ball and springing
away with it for another 95-yard run
and touchdown, but it was an inglorious
one, as the ball was down at the time
and the run was not allowed.
When the Yale charge began again
the Princeton line stiffened, and three
plunges against it yielded to Yale, a
few inches less than the necessary five
yards. Wheeler’s kick was returned by
McBride. The former caught the ball
neatly and after running 10 yards be-
hind compact interference made a
lightning-like punt which went over
McBride’s head and the next line-up
was on Yale’s 5-yard line. At this
point Durston and Benjamin gave
place to Townsend and Corwin, and a
kicking game began in earnest with the
advantage slightly with Wheeler. Fin-
ally, finding that no gains could be
made that way, McBride took Wheeler’s
punt on Yale’s 25-yard line, but could
only advance it three yards.
YALE’S LAST RALLY.
From this point Yale’s last desperate
rally was made—a rally the like of
which is rarely seen in a championship
game. It was a run around the end by
Ely, a smash through Princeton’s left
wing by first one, then another of the
backs, which carried the ball steadily
down the field. Twice Yale barely got
her distance, but usually there was room
to spare. Faster and faster went the
Yale offense, and with seven minutes
to play, the ball lay again on Princeton s
15-yard line. Townsend took a yard
and Corwin two. Then Princeton
showed her good football sand. The
ball was taken away from Yale on
downs, after she had carried it 70 yards.
Then, and only then, did sure defeat
stare Yale in the face. The time was too
short now to do the work over again,
and it was but a few more minutes be-
fore she was fighting hard on her own
territory. It was on Yale’s 15-yard line
that Edwards got in the way of Mc-
Bride’s kick from Cutten’s bad pass and
the ball bounded from his hands to
Yale’s 4-yard line, where Palmer got
on it.
A GREAT STAND.
Tt looked like another bitter drop in
her cup of sorrow, but that undaunted
Eleven gathered itself for a defense that
made the heart jump for very admira-
tion. After the Princeton catapult had
hurled against the line its last pound of
strength an uncoiling of the anta-
gonists saw the fall still three feet from
Yale’s goal, McBride made a difficult
kick-out from behind his goal-line, and
after several exchanges the game ended
with the ball in Ely’s hands on Yale’s
25-yard line. :

One of the Oid Boys of °44,
Judge Coleman of Birmingham, Ala.,
was the youngest member of our Class.
A lawyer by profession for many
years, he has recently been elected
Judge of the High Court of Record in
his District at the rip age of 73, for a
period of six years.
His triumph at this time of life by a
large majority over three able lawyers
in their prime is an occurrence almost
phenomenal. |
Coleman is in the habit of doing
things after 70 that other men do in
middle life.
At this age he had a son born to him.
He had presented the first born of the
Class with the Silver Cup and we
thought it meet to honor the last born
also; so we made the young fellow
honorary member of the Class and
gave him a generous gift in money—to
be held in trust by his father and used
for his education when he enters Yale
University.
We did this with a special reserva-
tion, that if other sons were born to the
Judge, the gift should revert to the
youngest.
Below the Judge tells how life ap-
pears to him at 73.
Respectfully, Henry D. Situ,
Class Secretary.
MY SEVENTY-THIRD BIRTHDAY.
To-day I stand upon the shore of time,
Upon life’s outer, western verge;
Along the pathway sleep the buried
years,
In front the waves eternal surge.
I look upon this ocean’s boundless
sweep
And ask what shall my future be,
What priceless treasures have my soul
adorned
In three score years and ten and three.
From out the deep profound—the silent
past— :
Some blessed memories still are
mine;
A mother’s lullaby and kiss of joy,
God’s whispered love and seal divine,
Paternal trust, sole type of Christian
faith,
And Boyhood’s happy thoughtless
glee,
Youth’s class is triumphs, manhood’s
earnest toil,
Dear three score years arfd ten and
three.
And yet the way is strewn with broken
vows
And wrecks of battles lost and won,
Ambitions, hopes and trusts betrayed
and dead, 7
And much commanded left undone.
Now the shades of night are closing in
And light and friends and fortune ©
flee;
I am content this earthly record close,
These three score years and ten and
three.
I stand where two eternal Cycles touch,
The Future grand and voiceless Past,
Here oe dark mantle overshadows
all,
There endless day is dawning fast.
Few sheaves were gathered in the har-
vest field, :
His grace alone sustaineth me. _
Forgive, oh God, the wrongs and sins
_ which marred
These three score years and ten and
three.
