SEVERE SET-BACK FOR PRINCETON

The following scores were made in games Saturday by the University's future opponents:

Princeton 7, Williams 7.

Brown 12, Vermont 9.

Yale 49, Colgate 7.

One game Saturday upset accepted calculations. That Williams should outplay Princeton and hold her heavier opponents to a 7 to 7 tie was entirely unexpected. Yale easily defeated the representatives of Colgate, while Brown, although putting up a poor brand of football, succeeded in nosing out a 12 to 9 victory over Vermont.

Although weak on both offence and defence, the Princeton eleven took advantage of a fumble on Williams 16-yard line in the last quarter, and, in a desperate series of rushes averted the disgrace of a defeat by a lighter team. The "wide-open" style of play of which Princeton was conceded to be the most reliable exponent was a distinct failure; of ten forward passes attempted but one was successfully carried out.

The contest had hardly begun when Toolan, the Williams left half back, slipped around end for a 72 yard run. On the next play a forward pass was caught on Princeton's 2 yard line and carried over for a touchdown. Williams continued a "rapid fire" attack, her backfield completely baffling the heavier opponents with a succession of fast line plunges and wide end runs that stamped her as the aggressor throughout the entire first half.

Princeton fought desperately in the second half and carried the ball to the opponents' 1 yard line, but here the Williams defence stiffened, and Trenkman, who was given the ball in the final attempt to score, was thrown back for a loss of three yards. It was not until the end of the last quarter, when Princeton recovered a Williams' fumble on the latter's 16-yard line, that her backfield had the power to push the ball across the line for a touchdown. Law, amid breathless excitement, succeeded in gaining the point necessary to avert defeat.

Princeton's playing had taken a distinct reversal of form. Unsuccessful in the open game, her backs lacked drive and power on line plunges. The generalship of the quarter backs was obviously mediocre, and the tackling, of the ends in particular, and of the whole team in general, was way below standard. Glick and Law did by far the best work in a game which was decidly unsatisfactory, viewed from Princeton's standpoint.

Yale, played in better form than she has shown so far this season. Swift and sure on the attack and with a defence that was practically unpregnable, the Yale team distinctly outclassed the Colgate eleven and won with ease, 49 to 7. Using straight old fashioned football Yale four times rushed the ball from her own 20-yard line down the field in a series of 5 yard plunges that resulted in touchdowns. The Colgate attack forced the ball to the opponents' 1 yard line on one occasion, but the Yale defence stiffened perceptibly and withstood the attack, holding the visitor's for downs. In the third period Colgate penetrated the defence of a substitute eleven, and scored a touchdown for her lone tally.

Yale played a conservative game marked by the tremendous power of a line plunging backfield, the beautiful punting of Legore and a defence that completely smothered the attack of her opponents' backfield.

Brown defeated the sturdy Vermont eleven 12 to 9 in spite of playing extremely poor football.

The visitors were superior at the rushing game, but Brown used a series of forward passes which humbled her opponents and resulted in two touchdowns.
