28-yard line, where Baker tried for, but missed, a goal from the field. A moment later Princeton recovered the ball through a fumble on Harvard's 24-yard line, but could not gain, and again Baker missed a try for a goal from the field. Then Harvard made a series of forward passes which advanced the ball from Harvard's 20-yard line to Princeton's 47-yard line. As the time was almost exhausted, Buell tried three times for forward passes, but none of them were completed, and then Fitts punted across the goal line. The period ended after two or three plays. Except for the exchanges of punts, the ball did not move far from the middle of the field during the early part of the third period. Owen had returned to the Harvard backfield, and after a few minutes of play he caught the ball on a forward pass intended for Lourie. A few minutes later, after Harvard had gained about fifteen yards, Gilroy intercepted a forward pass and ran from his own 37-yard line to Harvard's 35-yard line, where Macomber succeeded in stopping the runner. Then Princeton almost made a touchdown. Lourie gained twelve yards around the end, and Gilroy added five. Garrity next caught the ball on a forward pass and was thrown on Harvard's 6-yard line, where Princeton had a first down. A score seemed inevitable, but Harvard held superbly and recovered the ball on downs on the 1-yard line. Nothing better was ever seen. The ball was then passed back to Fitts who stood behind the goal line and kicked well down the field, but the Field Judge declared that the third period had expired before the ball was put in play, and consequently Fitts had to go once more back of his goal line at the beginning of the last period and punt against the wind. The pass was very low and he caught the ball barely off the ground; realizing that the kick would be blocked if he tried to punt, he made a desperate attempt to run out into fair ground but was tackled and thrown before he could do so. Apparently Fitts had made a safety touchdown, but one of the Princeton men had been off-side and the home team was penalized five yards. That was another narrow escape for Harvard. Then Fitts got away another fine punt in the face of the wind, and the ball went out to the 41-yard line. Princeton made a first down on the next three plays, and then Keck tried for a goal from placement, but the ball went low into the hands of Owen who caught it on the 7-yard line and ran to the 23yard line. gone back of the Harvard rushline and was running down the side line. Although Fitts almost intercepted the pass, Gilroy caught the ball and put on speed for the goal line. Perfect interference kept the Harvard backfield men out of the play, and no one put a hand on Gilroy until he was striding across for a touchdown. Keck kicked the goal. That play ended the game as far as Harvard was concerned. Although the players fought hard, they could make no headway, and a little later a short punt gave Keck his chance for a goal from placement. The score of the game follows: PRINCETON. Snively, l.e. HARVARD. r.e., Crocker, Janin r.t., Tierney, Ladd r.g., Brown c., Clark 1.g., Hubbard, Grew 1.t., Kane By this time several substitutes had gone in for Harvard, but the team still had some strength on the offensive, and went straight up the field to Princeton's 37yard line; there was one forward pass to Fitts in that series of plays. Then came another misunderstanding of signals, and the centre snapped the ball back between Owen and Fitts; it rolled back twenty yards, but Fitts fortunately recovered it on Harvard's 40-yard line. Harvard had to punt, and after a couple of ineffective plays Lourie kicked back. Buell signalled Gilroy. Goal from placement-Keck. for a fair catch and caught the ball on Harvard's 48-yard line. To the surprise of everybody, Owen prepared to try for a goal from the field. It seemed impossible for him to kick far enough against the strong wind, but the play was an important one, as all of the Harvard men stood back of the ball when it was kicked, and consequently were on-side. Owen's kick carried only to Princeton's 25-yard line and the ball bounded backwards into the arms of Macomber who had raced down the field for that purpose. But again Harvard could not gain, and finally Owen went back to the 36-yard line where he kicked a goal from the field. It looked then as though Harvard had won the game, but disappointment was in store for the Crimson. Harvard kicked off, and Cleaves carried the ball back to the 32-yard line. After Lourie had made. six yards, Snively made a quick and accurate forward pass to Gilroy who had 1.e., Macomber q.b., Buell r.h.b.

PRINCETON WINS THE SOCCER GAME Princeton defeated Harvard at soccer, 2 points to 0, last Saturday afternoon at Princeton. Princeton kept the ball in the Harvard half of the field throughout the game, and only vigilant playing by the Harvard backs prevented a larger score. The summary follows: PRINCETON.

THE HE Harvard freshman football team gave a good account of itself last Saturday by tieing the Princeton freshmen after the latter had been ahead, 14 points to 0. The game was played in the Stadium, and, although that huge structure seemed to be almost vacant, the attendance was unusually large for a freshman game. The gale which blew all the afternoon bothered not only the players but the spectators as well. The Harvard freshmen were very much outweighed, and during the early part of the game they could not hold back the heavy Princeton linemen and plunging backs. The result was that, after a few fumbles and other mistakes, Princeton carried the ball practically the whole length of the field and scored in the second period. The third quarter had gone on not more than a couple of minutes when Barry broke through the Harvard team and ran forty yards for a touchdown. It looked hopeless for Harvard, but the Crimson players made a fine rally in the last period, when they "opened up" their game with forward passes and end runs. A fumble gave Harvard the ball on Princeton's 35-yard line, from which point, much to the surprise of the spectators and the Princeton players, the home WEST STAND EAST STAND q.b, Akers, Powell, Blake Bergin, Nields, r.h.b. 1.h.b., Braden, Doherty Barry, Newbold, 1.h.b. r.h.b., Hammond Beattie, Stout, Shackelford, f.b. f.b., Doherty, Ellis Score-Princeton 1925, 14; Harvard 1925, 14.

I can well remember when a Harvard graduate and his wife, to see a football game, did not have to sit in the midst of a howling crowd of muckers, reeking tobacco, vulgarity, and dislike of Harvard. It is lonely to be marooned amongst such hostiles, but there seem to be no seats available for us elderly graduates on the friendly side. I wonder why such exhibitions as that at the Centre game are tolerated? Do our athletics need that kind of a "gate?" CARL T. KELLER, '94. |
