...apparently out-skated and outplayed the Elis, especially in the first half. The Tiger backs, unable to cope with Dartmouth's individual playing, succeeded almost every time in breaking up the Blue forward line when it threatened. Most of the playing was in Yale's territory, and only the brilliant work of York at goal kept Princeton's score down to one tally. Yale's first goal, scored by Armour, was a lucky one, and their winning goal was the result of a brilliant individual dash by Van Nostrand, half a minute after the extra period started.

Coach Haughton recognized the need for co-ordination in the recent letter which he urged football candidates to avoid probation not as an annoying technicality, but as an end in itself. If all coaches and professors had as good sense...
