...immediate objective this week is the Princeton game at the Philadelphia Ice Palace Saturday evening. The Tiger players will give the Crimson the stiffest resistance it has met this season with the exception of that shown by the Toronto sextet; and they will be especially determined to defeat the University in order to partially stone for Yale's surprising 4-3 victory over them Saturday...
Outrushing the Tiger players and outmanouvering them at every point there can be no doubt that Coach Fisher's men were superior at first. Repeatedly the University passes threw the defence into confusion and during the first three quarters of the game it was generally the reliable Gilroy, the bulwark of the secondary defence who was needed to stop the Crimson rushers who again and again pierced the Tiger line. On the other hand except for one brief spurt which ended in failure, the Princeton attack seemed unable to gain ground, the passes going amiss and even the elusive Lourie...
While Coach Fisher and a number of his most reliable players went down to New Haven last Saturday to see the Tiger Bulldog contest, a substitute eleven faced Brown at Cambridge. Although the University came out of the struggle with the long end of a 9-7 score, it was only by a very slight margin that the team escaped defeat. Five times the Brounians threatened the Crimson goal-line and it was only the aggressive playing on the part of the second string forwards which prevented more than a single score from being made...
Enraged by the defeats of two successive years Yale battled the Princeton Tiger last Saturday and emerged triumphant from the struggle on the long end of a 13-7 score. Captain Aldrich and quarterback O'Hearn were the soul and spirit of the Blue offensive. Time after time they dodged their way through the the whole Tiger eleven for gains of many yards and threw passes to some end or back or to each other. Aldrich added to his credit by sending over two perfect drop kicks, while it was the speedy quarterback who from Princeton's 18 yard line...
...coming from the versatile O'Hearn who proved himself a master in the art of triple threat. But it must be admitted that Princeton was not as formidable against Yale as against the University the preceding week. Handicapped by the loss of Keck early in the game, the Tiger eleven seemed to miss his inspiring presence and to lack the drive which they possessed the Saturday before. But no credit must be taken from Yale, they have overcome the defeats of years by conquering Princeton, and today they will seek to lead the University also into the column...
